[Matt-the-bear]

Was only a matter of time tbh.

 

[TPP]

Gutted for those booked

 

[Topps]

I'll take ypur word onthe translation but ita not a surprise.

 

[a_weir]

Well that’s that then.

 

[Rangers Bear]

At least Ibrox will be bouncing...

 

[a_weir]

To be honest it suits us as we will (theoretically) have the 12th man but they won’t.

 

[club175]

If we can get a positive result on thurs this could work massively in our favour

mportant info for our fans:

In order to slow the spread of the coronavirus, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia has decided to cancel all major events starting from 1000 spectators until further notice. And the state of Bremen has also issued a similar regulation. However, there is the opportunity to let these events take place without a spectator participation - both clubs draw this option.

This therefore applies to both the Bundesliga away game of the Werkself at Werder Bremen on Monday, March 16., as well as at the rematch of the Europa League round on Thursday, March 19. March, in the BayArena. How the tickets already purchased for the two games are handled here is summarized here.

 

[Damsidebear]

It was always going to happen.

 

[Captain Cutlass]

No real surprise there and it's been confirmed that tickets will be reimbursed, I just hope the travelling Bears can recoup their travel/hotel expenses.

Let's be honest, what's the point in playing this round? The tournament is never going to finish anyway with Italian and Spanish teams on the brink of pulling out domestic leagues and the virus getting worse

We could be the last team standing

 

[Diego Maradona]

Thanks China

 

[AstralFlame72]

@LuxembourgTrueBlue will you guys be showing the game at the Britannia? Looks like I’ll be heading there instead of Leverkusen!

 

[Newtown Bear]

Was always a matter of when

[Grsmith]

Just give us the trophy now .

 

[EKSebo]

I’m going to lose 400 quid but the right decision. Definitely works in our favour too should we get a decent result on Thursday

 

[The_Bear]

I think they should award the trophy to the first team to qualify for the last 16, anyone else?

 

[The Lone Sniper]

Should help us on the pitch.

Wow!

The implications of this action... could be huge.
But the correct action nonetheless.

 

[pollokparkloyal]

Shame for the folk that have booked up to go but was always looking like it was going to happen.

 

[hunter1rfc]

Thanks China

Agreed shower of filthy clarty bastards

 

[DerekSSR]

They might aswell just scrap the CL and UL this season the way this is panning out.

 

[roffey]

Will be weird watching it on the telly. Shame for the guys that booked to go over, I hope the insurance covers it. Also, remember to check with your credit card provider, they cover too.

 

[ThePRODigalSon]

They might aswell just scrap the CL and UL this season the way this is panning out.

And all those who qualified for last 16 declared joint winners

 

[Awaydays72]

Should hear this from the club officially, over the next few days.
Hopefully everyone that booked up gets some/all of their money back, one way or another.

 

[Jjbscotty]

They might aswell just scrap the CL and UL this season the way this is panning out.

I think that’s what will end up happening in all honesty.

 

[True Blue]

Disappointed for the Bears who had already made their travel arrangements and are left out of pocket by this, though unfortunately bcd was looking ever more likely by the day.

 

[Drumchapel-Bear]

What's the process for ticket refunds? Do we need to contact them or will they just refund to us?

 

[rangeral]

No real surprise given the way thing have went in recent days

Feel for those booked up

 

[Shengus Malengus]

Let's be honest, what's the point in playing this round? The tournament is never going to finish anyway with Italian and Spanish teams on the brink of pulling out domestic leagues and the virus getting worse

I'll take that.

Joint winners.

 

[Blue As]

What's the process for ticket refunds? Do we need to contact them or will they just refund to us?

If you bought from them,they will refund you,may take a few days.
Translation from their website.
“The ticket price will be fully reimbursed to buyers of day tickets. The reverse processing takes place in the same way as the ticket was purchased. All ticket buyers are proactively informed by the association. This currently applies to the Bundesliga away game at Werder Bremen and the Europa League game against the Glasgow Rangers in the BayArena.”

 

[Gazb1962]

They might aswell just scrap the CL and UL this season the way this is panning out.

And don’t forget the SPL.

 

[derbybear]

Is the Twitter official?

 

[Beanzie]

Hardly surprising, hopefully not too many Bears will lose out financially.

 

[scottmac]

What a sh!tter, was looking forward to next week. Been coming for a few days though so seen it coming.

 

[williewoodburn]

This, from the editor-in-chief of The Lancet, which is one of the world's premier general medical journals :

The UK government—Matt Hancock and Boris Johnson—claim they are following the science. But that is not true. The evidence is clear. We need urgent implementation of social distancing and closure policies. The government is playing roulette with the public. This is a major error.

BCD cant be far away in UK football.

ps What happens when the players start to go down with the virus ?

 

[pandager1]

Sorry for the Bears who have booked up, but this is surely a good thing for our chances of winning the tie?

 

[Gmcg95]

Disappointing for me and some mates who have booked up but we’re still going to head over anyway, no point losing out on what we’ve already paid.

 

[The hunter2]

Will be weird watching it on the telly. Shame for the guys that booked to go over, I hope the insurance covers it. Also, remember to check with your credit card provider, they cover too.

No one will pay out cause the game is now getting played behind closed doors

 

[Stags Blue]

Is the Twitter official?

Confirmed on Radio

 

[exeterbear]

Will a lot of the flights out there not be cancelled anyway?

 

[gi joe]

I'm sure FARE will still be in attendance.

 

[tsa57]

Sorry for the Bears who have booked up, but this is surely a good thing for our chances of winning the tie?

Just need the Rangers players to start coughing all over the place and the Germans will crap it

 

[El Buffalo]

Feel bad for the bears that booked up. There’s going to be loads of majorly disappointed people for different reasons in the coming months.

 

[Taiwan Loyal]

It's better to be safe than sorry. This virus is no joke. Hopefully everyone gets reimbursed that was going.

 

[Oranje]

Can we still get the travel club point .......

On a serious note. Hope everybody as a travel insurance policy that will cover.

 

[SDF]

How we'll laugh when that "Rangers = Coronavirus" banner comes back to haunt that mob as the teams drop out one by one and we win the Europa League.
