Strange combination of nerves and anxiety today, I've been supremely confident before the last 4 games, but maybe the likelihood of being equal top in a few hours has spooked me, with the added fear that it could still be called off at 2pm. 

I know we will be fine if TM is able and willing to play the same team, but it is a good shout by Sky as Hull will be pressured by the crowd to have a go at us after their recent decent run, so should be an end to end game. 

Surely, if we are 'top' on Boxing Day, the owners or decision makers will be encouraged to do all it takes to keep this squad together til May. 

This is what I'm really nervous about. 

COYMB, you've restored our faith and hope in the last few weeks, and we are all grateful.

Great following, on telly, interest building, great league position this is exactly the kind of hurdle we usually trip over.  Let's see if this group can be different.

"Sorry babe I used it to take the number of that really sexy man that does the deliveries and I have been texting him the last while and a little more.....but the ticket are there right? See you later love 😎"

The only nagging doubt is that Boxing Day fixtures often throw out a few freak results.

Still confident though. 3-1 win.

I wasn't confident at Bournemouth, but the lads proved me wrong. Let's hope for the same today. 

Were on our way.

Game called off

[garnersfags]

Sh*t!!!!!!!

Game is off. 

COVID!!!!

[Sparks Rover]

Cancelled 

[garnersfags]

Just after a really positive Rovers chat in 5 Live. 

How very, very sad. 

[tomphil]

Inevitable.

Still at least Hull sold plenty tickets....

[BigBar]

Well that's a sickener was all set up for it, few cans, fire on, kids occupied. 2 hours away, load of bollix.

[Wheelton Blue]

2 hours before KO is a disgrace.

[TruRover]

That’s an absolute joke. Hull clearly waiting as long as possible to reel in as many sales as possible before calling it. Doubt there’ll be refunds - just replacement ticket.

[Gav]

Scandalous. 

Football fans just don’t matter, bollox to them, they’ll come back next week regardless…..

Train, eat, pick up your wage.

Train, eat, pick up your wage.

Covid being used as an excuse for a break across the country at the expense of the fans.

What a pisser! 👎

[Lucimo]

I wasn't going but this is absolute bollocks to be called off now. It has been  inevitable all week imo and the decision should have been made before the fans travelled 

[1864roverite]

Wonder which team is affected by covid?

[Tom]

Awful, really feel for fans that have lost a huge chunk of Boxing Day on the road for nothing 

Be keen to know if these are all confirmed cases / isolating or if embellished by ‘injuries’ like Everton 

Gut feeling is a few players missing and then flesh it out to avoid having to play with a weakened team

Hull have 17 cases. Why are they doing Lateral Flow tests are 12:30 on the day of a game? It’s a shambles!

[garnersfags]

It is criminal that both clubs haven't kept the long suffering fans abreast of how near they were to calling the game off. 

The only negative impact of doing this would've been a lower attendance. So what? 

It shows a total disregard for the fans of both clubs. 

There hasn't been a single rumour on here over the last 2 days about possible cases, in either camp, never mind any announcements that Hull were close to the threshold. 

There must have been numerous cases and a number of PCR tests following positive LFD tests yesterday and Friday.

It was both club's professional and moral duty to keep fans informed of this. 

People have travelled from over 200 miles away for this game. 

Simple communication.

So sad.

Sodding joke, can't have it cancelled this late on. Pathetic from Hull
