On or off we reckon?
I originally thought off.. but I’m starting to believe it might well make it.
When the trains were cancelled, I made a weekend of it. So it’s ironic how the trains are back and refundable whereas the hotel will not be |  |

Portsmouth's Chief Exec has said their game is likely to go ahead. Not sure if that means they all will but hopefully a good sign. |  |

Probably only the London fixtures at serious risk — ought to be ok. |  |

No Monday night televised game next week which is probably helpful in that regard, you’d have thought if we can play this midweek there would be no reason to cancel games on Saturday and Sunday. |  | | |

I doubt SYP police will be sent to London, they’re not great at crowd control. |  |

Which games can go ahead or not next weekend might be a bit random. Wednesday vs Ipswich should be seen as low risk. | | | |

Good at corruption though, so the Met might like to trade ideas. |  |

I think next week, Tuesday and Saturday will go ahead. |  |

Leaving aside any policing issues, if the football authorities thought it appropriate to cancel this weekend, it's difficult to think they can take a different view next weekend with the funeral on the Monday. It's less of an issue for the EFL but I certainly can't see any games taking place on the Sunday. The problem is that they have backed themselves into a corner, so that if, say, the rugby authorities decide to postpone next weekend because of closeness to the funeral, that would rather force the football authorities' hands.

Hi. Just thought I’d let you know that if you’re coming up to see the match this Saturday (assuming it goes ahead), the students at both Sheffield universities are due back this weekend. In previous years this has caused traffic chaos in the city centre on Saturday and Sunday, so worth considering staying on the M1 till J35 rather than coming off at J33. Would hate you to miss your first defeat of the season!!
I just of course. If we play like we did against Barnsley, it should be a pleasant long journey back home for you.
Enjoy the season, but go easy on us this Saturday. | | | |

The difference is that the dimwits who run football have now had some time to think & may have realised that public opinion is in favour of football continuing, especially as every other sport carried on & also that endless postponements in a season with the headache of a winter World Cup will cause huge problems. I expect most games to go ahead, with the caveat of satisfactory police resources being available, which is more likely to affect London than elsewhere. |  |

On reflection, I think that's probably right. And interesting to note the National League has announced the resumption of fixtures. | | | |

Thanks for useful information.
What happened against Barnsley - did the players not turn up as they say?
We have Bristol Rovers which I expect will be a test, but we should have too much. Win it though and keep the momentum going despite Saturday postponement and we are flying.
Hillsborough then becomes a real test of our automatic credentials, we haven’t been beating the top sides.. and on paper you are the strongest squad in the league. |  |

We just didn’t turn up against Barnsley. We got our fans all excited after stuffing Forest Green the previous week, but the same eleven weren’t at the races the following week. Jekyll and Hyde stuff from us it seems.
We do have a strong squad but there’s some real unease among some fans about Darren Moore’s ability to use it to its potential.
Also awful news about Marcus Stewart. I’m sure I speak on behalf of all Owls in wishing him the best. | | | |

Thanks for nice note on Marcus. A legend in these parts and humble/nice guy. And was an incredibly good striker, underrated, scored some real quality goals in the Premier League.
I know from experience that MND is a very cruel condition.
Much of my family are owls, they share the Moore concerns. Can’t help but feel a poor run of form from you and increasing that concern and atmosphere would really effect your campaign. I still think you have too much not to make automatic. We’ll give you a real test on Saturday. | |
