We asked our fans' jury: What did you make of the postponement, the explanation from Hull City, and what would you like to see happen now?

 

We are in unprecedented times and Covid-19 has possibly radically changed our way of life for the foreseeable future.

What happened at Hull was fairly predictable and if you are a fan prepared to travel to away games, in the current uncertain climate, then you have to accept and deal with the consequences.

It was short notice but the current Covid variant spreads so rapidly that there may have been little option but to postpone the fixture when they did.

Having said that I would have thought that the club should have called the game off the day before in anticipation of the likely situation.

I would also think that the EFL should have postponed all fixtures for a short "winter break" to accommodate the perilous circumstances we find ourselves in.

Fans will continue to be exploited and remain way down the pecking list as long as they are prepared to help fund a business that has little moral or ethical standards.

The fact that so many players spoke out in support of the travelling supporters says it all.

Football is a supporter sport and without supporters, it wouldn't thrive like it does.

There was no regard for the fans, only for football politics and the explanation by Hull City was ambiguous.

There should be a defined and agreed timeline that teams must submit test results by and anything beyond that, teams must delve into their squads to fulfil the fixture.

This might not be fair on any given day as it could almost be a first team playing an Under-23s team, but it's the same rules for everyone (and a chance for upcoming players to prove themselves).

While not made as public, it's also unfair on the Blackburn Rovers staff who prepared for and gave up significant time to fulfil a fixture that didn't happen.

As a grassroots coach, I received backlash for leaving it just two hours before kick-off before postponing a match so it is atrocious that an EFL fixture should be conducted in such a way.

We made it a family day out with myself, my wife and two children and we went with the official away travel club and cannot believe what happened.

As soon as I was aware that there was a chance the game could have been postponed I was watching the news hoping the game would have been on and when we arrived on the coach at Ewood I stupidly thought there's no way this can be off now.

We had just hit Goole when the announcement came through and nobody on our coach could believe it had happened so late, my youngest lad who's only seven was very upset.

Okay, I will get my match ticket money back but I shelled out £80 or so for four coach tickets so I'd like a refund on them from the EFL or Hull but I don't hold out much hope.

The match tickets will be valid for the new date but that's no use to me as it will more than likely be a mid-week game.

Instead of a feast of football I had a cup of tea at Hartshead Moor services in Leeds.
