Games cancelled due to London riots

[JAS]

FYI...so far the news channels have reprted two games cancelled. I believe they are west Ham v Aldershot and Charlton v Reading.

However Sky News is now flashing a banner saying police have ordered all London clubs to cancel their games.

probably good then we are up north for the first game by the following week the riots would have stopped...mind you we play liverpool the following week at home and they tend to 'attract' attention

Pretty gutting to see all that kicking off.

Seeing thugs ripping up shops and pubs I've been in while heading to White Hart Lane was bad enough, but also seeing them tear Ealing apart was tough. Wankers.

Ripping up pubs is the final straw .. Get the Plod Squad out with the plastic bullets - Won't somebody think of the damn pubs??

Business is booming for NVM. I think we are going to have a bumper month. And just so twiston doesn't miss out on the action, I deliberately walked on the neighbours grass verge anarchy in Twiston

LOL!!

Mate, I hope you also do security roller shutters. You'd be retired by the end of the year I reckon.

On another note, it's probably not really smart, but good to see a massive bunch of Yids getting out and about in Enfield on Monday night to protect their community. Didn't see any pikey little wankers out smashing the place up that night!!!

Cheers JAS for the updates on the various news from the UK.

Interesting reading that some Clubs "fans" have been putting local rivalries aside to join up and patrol the streets vigilante style.

Unfortunately tho it sounds as if the Millwall / Charlton firm ended up causing more problems then it solved.

Kind of reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer starts a posse to capture the cat burglar:

Kent Brockman: What do you say to the accusation that your group has been causing more crimes than it's been preventing?
Homer Simpson: I'd be lying if I said my men weren't committing crimes.

Sorry DA but bad news...Spurs v Everton is postponed...they do say they're 'positive' the other 9 games can go ahead...

Being a peaceful and placid part of the world, I am anticipating the Liverpool game to go ahead no problems.

There's a million and one dream teamers out there sweating it out....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

This is the most recent BBC info about the other games...last update at 1203pm UK time (about 1hr 45mins ago)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14472012.stm

A statement is expected at 1800 BST, with the Premier League likely to confirm that no matches outside of London have been affected.

That's 2:30am Adelaide time

A radio news bulletin just added that kick-off times may be brought forward to assist police.
