ralphindevon Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 I don’t agree with the decision, some don’t realise how important going to football is for peoples well-being. On a personal note though, I was really fed up to be missing tomorrow because I’m going on holiday, so at least my FOMO won’t be bad tomorrow afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't a show or respect before games all over the country, been a far better way or marking her life this weekend? Personally, I'm sorry to hear that anyone has died, but she's had a pretty good life, lived a long time, done some decent stuff, fair play to her, but all this nonsense is madness. People die every day who have done amazing things in their lives and made huge contributions to society, including at a young age who could have done so much more. This is like some throwback to the 1800s. We all have to doff our caps, do what we're told, kneel before out betters, and enter a period of forced mourning. If people want to weep and wail about it, ir enough, knock yourselves out. Likewise if you want to have a period of quiet contemplation, that's up to you. Me, I want to watch and play football this weekend and I see absolutely no reason why that should all be cancelled. Maybe the league wanted a period of quiet contemplation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 5 minutes ago, Super said: Bristol v Bath Tomorrow at 5.30. This strikes me as strange. What does moving the rugby by 22 hours achieve, other than the fact Ashton Gate will now be empty as the football has been postponed.

We are in a cost of living crisis, and we are stopping many many businesses generating much needed income this weekend. Bristol City will have no match income for a month. Stuff like cashflow actually matters in football. Look at the clubs who have failed to pay players or gone bust. Like you I understand the purpose but I will never understand why EFL seems to prioritise the wellbeing of its members so low in so many of its decisions. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today’s decision, now hearing the likelihood of next weekend too, makes it more ludicrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should have played, but am not surprised at all that they aren't and can sort of understand why. However some of the reactions have been quite eye-opening, particularly from posters who are normally a lot more level headed and rational. I hope for their sake that most of it is performative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will still get the revenue but revenue and cash flow are not quite the same. Granted SL can fill the void if needed but cash flow is more of month by month thing. I doubt it will prove decisive or anything but the revenue could also take a hit if rescheduled to midweek, if some refunded who don't go etc. As @Olé says the clue is in the word 'flow'. Revenue recognition and cash flow are two very different things. Edited September 9, 2022 by Mr Popodopolous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrizzleRed Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 4 minutes ago, IAmNick said: Sure but it's not that simple is it. Food and drink will have been bought, preparations already started. Loads of staff no doubt on crap or zero hours contracts with work cancelled when they probably need the money pretty badly right now. Fans who have made travel arrangements, booked hotels or insanely expensive train tickets. Swapped dates at work. It's not just a switch you can flick on or off. Completely see your point, but staff will be paid when the re-arranged games take place. Sure it will be tough on anybody who isn’t able to get refunds on hotels, travel, etc, but shit happens unfortunately. We’ve had blanket postponements in the past due to extreme weather, not to mention covid, so this isn’t exactly an unprecedented occurrence. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see next week’s games going ahead as scheduled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of us feel some sadness because someone has died, but want life to continue. It's bizarre that to you that means people would be worse in a war?! What an odd equivalence to make. Pretty sure there's a fair amount of death in a war and you just have to get on with it. Bizarre post!
