Yeah but as I said above low risk game, only 17k stadium, very light police presence needed.
Is football cancelled for the next week? | Man United-Leeds & Chelsea-Liverpool postponed
- Thread starter PoTMS
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
They must think there will be some crowd trouble that will reflect badly on the mouring or some rubbish
We'll play them two days after some other rearranged tie now.
The second half of this season will be fun and no advantage for English sides in Europe now
Why the feck is this postponed
Well I'll let you know if I seen any of GMP's finest at the game
, obviously pleased our game is on but understand it's frustrating for United fans. Shame you had Leeds this week - sure the reputation of their mild-mannered support played into the decision unfortunately......Yeah and hopefully it will be two days after Colchester at home in the FA Cup or something rather than 72 hours after a 5 hour flight.
See what happens when there is no football..
Best peace of journalism ever!!
Needless to say we won the league with 57 points, Devil you know, Cannon (Arsenal) are 2nd with 54 points, and joining us in CL next season are Lions (Chelsea and Aston Villa) with 43 points each. Liverbird and their Anfield witch is 11th with 20 points, Klopp to leave any day now, and Ship (noisy neighbours) is 16th with 14 points, 6 points away from relegation (shit!). Pep to be sacked in the morning. Relegated team are Seahorse (Newcastle), Words/book (Fulham) and flower (Leeds).Tweet

I’m down in London with work from Wednesday until Friday and struggled to get a room, there’s going to a be a load of people there from Wednesday night to pay their respects.
Brentford have about 8 fans so that game only need 2 coppers.
Spurs vs Leicester in Haringey North London. 60k crowd going ahead.
But Manchester United vs Leeds four hours away in Stretford is not going ahead.

sound logic but spurs are playing Leicester..albeit a day earlier. That can only be the possible reason. Maybe they want a 24 hour window or something before the funeral with nothing. But then that only works if they’ve cancelled just the Chelsea Liverpool game…
So if they postponed these 2 games, can we see them being played on Tuesday/Wednesday 20/21 September, European fixtures won't be played that midweek anyways.
Insanely stupid.
International break?
Ugh, couldn’t she have waited for an international break.
There's an international break next week sunshine.
It's a joke and I bet it's because they were worried that Leeds' fans would play up during any silence before the game.
Our game, that fixture in particular, would require a big police presence, obviously, which clearly is a major factor in it not taking pace.
Gotta say I'm relived Potter's first PL game with Chelsea isn't against us. Some really bizarre postponements going on though. Why is United Leeds off?
Leeds fans love the Queen. More so than we do as a fanbase if we're going to generalise.
So they have the resources for Spurs v Leicester and Brentford v Arsenal, they keep their winning streaks going yet here in Manchester we have to supply police and cancel our game. Sure it's higher profile and higher risk but it's also unfair to give us more fixture congestion to a northern game.

I'm sure all this will strengthen relations between the monarchy and your average football fan.
Any bets they'll cancel at least one other PL match before the end of the week?
Apparently because it’s a class A category game. If it was any other opponent other than Liverpool and city, the game would have gone ahead.
Cat A games require a lot more police than other games.
There’s absolutely no reason our game should be postponed. The FA are fecking scum.
Ah feck this season. World cup break. International break. Pretend mourning break.
feck me, is everyone on the Tyne a criminal?
When the hell are we going to play those games.
So after making sure all the filthy commoners couldn't enjoy the football this weekend, they're now honing in on the northern plebs...
I’m into history. You are not. There lies the difference you see.
The police have basically said we can’t be fecked this weekend so cancel it
You're joking.
Windsor has been absolutely stacked and nothing is even happening round there currently.
This is bollocks, this
I’m sure they’ll find a way to sandwich them in between two tough fixtures. The usual bollocks.
Ridiculous decision! So 2 games are being played in London but they can't play our game in Manchester because of a funeral in London?!
Leeds would be very pro Queen. They are a perfect example of a brexit / English fanbase. Also see Stoke, Burnley etc
Amazing what effect can a bunch of unemployed and lazy royals can have.
One last "feck you" from the queen to her loyal subjects.
A week in March for United

Might be skewed with it being right in the middle of the city.
