Failure to complete a fixture. Forfeit the game and 3 points awarded to us is the only fair outcome.

 

[Rogero]

Agreed . 3 points please

 

[East London Exile]

The article says “the match will have to be played at a later date “. Surely Arsenal should forfeit the match for a no show!

The points don’t really mean much at U-18 level, do they? I’d much rather they got a chance to play as much as possible.

I mean in an ideal world Arsenal wouldn’t be incompetent f*cking idiots but playing the game is still the best option for us.

So the driver goes the wrong way thats really funny but surely someone the coach must have seen signs for Portsmouth and Southampton as they were driving along the motorway yet no one thought to check

There would have been a squad of about 18 players, plus a load of support staff and not one of them queried the route.
Oh the joy of SatNavs and headphones. We have created a world of youngsters that have no idea of local geography or the confidence to question anything.

Who’s driving the coach? Frank Spencer?

You are joking, 18 year olds spend the entire journey looking at pieces of plastic in theirs hands with lots of pictures, not a chance they would have looked up or even be aware of where they were

 

[Questions]

I think Bournemouth should get the points.

As if Londoners have a clue outside the M25.

Yeh, common sense I suppose - but still deduct the points from Arsenal regardless even if they beat us in the re-arranged practice match!

Is this for real? Like buses are booked aren't they, and the address provided, and then everyone types the postcodes in the sat nav when they get on board, and Mums and Dads are tracking their kids on Life360, and several adults on board are in charge....and notwithstanding all that, they went over 2 hours past where we are.....something smells right fishy....

I suspect what happened is that they thought they were in fact playing Bournemouth, rather than Brighton.

Big six fans always mix us up for some reason. Little South Coastal clubs beginning with B, easy mistake to make right?!

Possibly, but eitherway they should forfeit...that'll learn them!!
