Ridiculous for the fans who had to travel. They could have taken no chances and called it off hours ago, not half an hour before.

But honestly for the first time in my life I'm glad a game's been postponed. That was a hideous lineup and I didn't fancy us for the win at all.

That team doesn't have enough to break down Palace anyway. Whenever its rearranged for will be better injury wise.

No-ones arguing that it shouldn't have been called off. They just should have done it earlier. We could all see this coming.

What structural damage to the roof ! Who are you Mystic meg ?

Thanks!

Definitely put a damper on my afternoon.

Oh well, safety first I suppose. Bit of a weird thing as a hockey fan originally... games never get cancelled no matter what is going on outside. There could be only 1000 people make it to the rink, and they would still play.

Where are you mate? Across the pond I guess.

i blame osman

DIDNT BILL ALWAYS TELL US GOODISON WOULD FAIL THE SAFETY TESTS!!!

Sorry for those who have travelled.

But it's not a bad thing at all as we will be a fitter side when it's rearranged.

And everyone is fresher for the FA Cup at the weekend.

The Police recommendation to call the game off was due to structural damage to the roof.
Safety comes first,and always should.
Come on you usual suspects there must be some angle you find to bash Bill over this.

No need to antagonise mate no need. You sound very bitter.

"monitering the stadium, outside the stadium, slates and roofing coming off houses. Stadium OK, been in touch with CP fans during the day. Advice from police until building on Goodison Road started to fail"

 

[toffeestillidie]

Structural damage to the roof sounds serious... is that something they'll be able to fix in time for the weekend?
