How you getting to the ground?

The same way as many who went to work today. I can understand the decision, but as I said global warming is here to stay. It sets a precedence going forwards. Are we setting a maximum temperature for attendances. Warmer countries cope in much higher temperatures, as we will need to going forwards. Not seen beaches closed where people sit in the sun deliberately. People were free to stay at home if they wanted to, no one was being forced to attend.

I'm sure temperatures will exceed 40C in the next World Cup, so will those games be played behind closed doors?

This nanny state bollocks is just too much

No dummies being spat here, I’m not going. But that was my decision not to bother.

We’re quickly becoming a country frightened of its own shadow and I can’t see where this is going to end.

Btw the I’m currently watching England women’s cricket match that’s been played since 2 o’clock this afternoon and get this............... there’s even a crowd there watching it.

As opposed to the snowflakes who decided that fully grown adults can’t make the decision themselves if they want to go out tmw in a 33 degree summer evening or not...

I think they're also looking after their staff, not worth it for a crappy friendly.

PutneyO wrote: ↑Mon Jul 18, 2022 9:45 pm If conditions are so extreme because of the heat then the game should be called off. Surely the players in far more danger than the spectators?

No ones being forced, it’s called freedom of choice.

No ones being forced, it’s called freedom of choice. If they don’t have enough staff or stewards the game gets cancelled, but I don’t believe that was the reason was it?
