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?

How would you feel if an attending fan died due to the heat?

I think it’s the right thing to do in the circumstances as this is only a friendly.
Having said that I wonder the decision would have been if it was a league game with 4-5,000 tickets being sold.

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

Pretty sure the extreme heat was one of the major complaints about awarding it to Qatar.

and what if a fan died from the cold in a freezing day in January, or fell down the stairs in the West Stand ?

Really that the best you can come up with. We’ll never know because it’s been closed down tomorrow night. I’m going to say something now that might shock you, people die all the time, it’s called life.

Let me ask you now them as you’re into sensationalistic statements/questions, how would you feel if someone died at home in the heat tmw who otherwise would’ve been outside in the shade, in the evening, at the football...??

I agree with those saying you should take personal responsibility rather than having the choice taken out of your hands.

As mentioned earlier, I don’t do friendlies much (unless they’re local or if I’m in town) But then that’s my choice.

It's because only 400 people showed up on Saturday, abd the club are having to give away free streaming because of the balls up with that stream. They know there will only be 200 or so turning up so it's not financially viable to open up.

Agree with that , but then why not just say that, why the smoke and mirrors all the time.....

Absolutely right. They wouldn't have acted this way if a crowd of 5000 plus was expected with a friendly v Arsenal

Its going to be the hottest day on record. How hot would be too hot for you?

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.
