The top comment is something like.
"get a grip...... Its not going to impact you that bad, you're a couple of London clubs..... Its not like you'll be travelling from Newcastle......."
Pricks - I live relatively close, but I'd still need to leave about 11:30.
I mean I want to buy them.
Tottenham vs Crystal Palace expected to go ahead despite COVID-19 outbreak at away side
Crystal Palace's trip to Tottenham Hotspur is currently expected to go ahead despite a COVID-19 outbreak at the south London club.
The Athletic understands Palace's players were told to stay at home rather than gathering at a hotel – the usual pre-match routine – on Christmas Day due to positive tests among staff. A number of players have also tested positive for the virus.
Reports on Saturday night suggested the match was to be postponed. However, it is also understood that no official request was made to the Premier League on Christmas Day to postpone Sunday's game. A request did go in in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Palace's players are thought to be gathering now for further tests. It is now anticipated that the Boxing Day match will take place, unless there are further positive cases.

Not sure this is the right place to post this or not but I am fan from the US was planning to come to the game against CP and I tried to resell but no luck so I have 5 tickets for the match - I am willing to give them to someone who will use them - no strings attached - Merry Christmas. They are E-tickets and I can forward you the information - first person to message me will get them - this is not a scam
personally I would perfer it was cancelled as I can't go today. But I can't help but feel Vieria put this out yesterday to try and fool our players into going big yesterday
No thanks. Let’s get it on and smash em. I want to look forward to match of the day!
4 hours is the limit I think
Good. Fuck em
As much as it sucks to call off a match at the last minute, Shirley the health conditions should dictate it, rather than the inconvenience it causes to the fans.
I mean, even if there are clear guidelines, e.g. if less than 5 positives the evening before the match goes on, what if there are an additional 10 positives the day of? Yes, the tests should be done first thing in the morning, but even that would not be enough advance notice for a number of fans.
So yeah, it's a clusterfuck, but what are the alternatives?

Hopefully Harry Kane will see this and make sure they get VIP at their next game for their unrivaled loyalty
