Leverkusen away behind closed doors confirmed

[waltersmith]

The region in which Leverkusen play is apparently the epicentre of Germany’s outbreak.

Stuttgart last night was ok. Some other games in other regions ok, but football is rapidly shutting down in Germany.

I’ve flights to Bielefeld for 15/5 title and promotion celebrations looking highly unlikely now

Do you think flights to the likes of Cologne will be getting canceled? Hope so now since i have one booked

 

[The Royal Standard]

Disappointed but not surprised

 

[Nathan9719972]

How is it?

It’s basically a seasonal flu and it’s inflected less than 400 in the UK

SLO saying there's no confirmation yet?

I think the tweet from Bayer is proof enough but they could have told us

 

[JPS Blue]

Disappointing but not surprised.

 

[The Golden God]

I think the tweet from Bayer is proof enough but they could have told us

The Bayer version of FF and Jim Traynor will be taking a slagging right now

 

[Gallant_Few]

Just stay at home Bears, better safe than sorry. Gutted for the fans who have booked flights and hotels already hope you guys get as much back as possible if not all.

Stay healthy Bears..

 

[TwoBadMice]

I dont think the game will be played next week

 

[Gallant_Few]

Want to play behind closed doors to reduce the risk of making it worse in the area were it is the worst in Germany, but absolutely fine to allow thousands of people perhaps flying from a highly infected area to another country because that other country has a lower count of people infected. What could go wrong.

Absolute madness to allow people to travel from a highly infected area, If we were playing an Italian team none of their fans would be allowed to travel, but that's absolutely fine because Germany already having a high risk just isn't as bad as Italy right now.

Scottish government sitting on their collective arses saying and doing nothing, trying to stop the spread of it by allowing people from other country's to walk freely off a plane without even being checked.

It is absolutely backwards planning from people in power as usuall mate.

Unfortunately, until the club receive official confirmation we can’t make comment. We haven’t received anything yet from either club or UEFA.

the club will comment when we hear from either of them.

 

[Kenshaw]

Mates still going on a jolly ,I'm going to give it a miss, wife says it's the right decision.

We were flying into Amsterdam, spending night there, before heading to Cologne, think boys just staying in Amsterdam now,worst places to spend 3 days.

 

[roaddog]

Writing was on the wall was always gonna happen , hopefully can be to Rangers advantage

sorry for the bears who have already booked up

 

[GeckoBear29]

they'll be sitting outside our houses

Wee vans recording the singing comin oot the chimney haha

 

[cocobob]

My 50th Birthday treat, my lad's first Rangers' game and £385 gone if I can't claim from KLM for the flights. Gutted!

Did you pay with credit card?

 

[Coza]

Valencia fans outside the stadium can be heard. Let them in if they are already congregated ffs.

 

[George Goudie]

Let us know how you get on fellow Bear.

I agree, but i think it's safe for fans to cancel their travel plans on the say so of Bayer through their official website and social media.

 

[BlueSeaOfIbrox]

Good news for us tbh, we get the home advantage of having fans while they get %^*& all.

Looks like we're gonna win EL by default judging by the wolves thread and the SPL is gonna get cancelled. Can you imagine the shitstorm? I want this to happen now.

 

[The Lonely Loyal]

Looks like the only way myself and a wad of other bears are getting refunds or claiming travel insurance is if the airline (BA) cancel or FCO/their German counter parts advise against travel to the region.

Greg, any talk of compensating those of us set to lose out in terms of flights, hotels etc with an extra TC point?

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Thanks China

They spoil everything

It also leaked from a lab in wuhan apparently.

And their desire for animal parts despite knowing they were making things go extinct.

Thanks China you jobbies

 

[Super Cooper]

F@ck it, Amsterdamaged then

 

[Professor Yaffle]

I'm sure FARE will still be in attendance.

Infect those bastards

 

[Davie_Mitchell]

I cancelled a KLM trip for work last week. They now have added ‘Health situation in China’ to the list of reasons for cancelling. My ticket was refundable so I didn’t use that but it’s definitely available to choose. Not sure how they handle it though.

KLM - Refunds Processing System

That’s the cancellation portal.

Give them a phone pal. The whole world knows.

Crazy if people travel given the situation.

Lol, SLO/Rangers the last people to know.

Shouldn't laugh at this but did

 

[George Goudie]

Do we Rangers not have to agree with this decision? ,, @Greg Marshall

 

[ibroxbound]

Agreed shower of filthy clarty bastards

Are you typing that on your i phone?

 

[MSF]

Do we Rangers not have to agree with this decision?

No, its a government decision.

 

[ronnieblue]

Sorry for all our away fans. Real bummer and a loss financially.

 

[Delboy19]

Feel for all the Bears that were heading out.
From a football perspective though, a positive result in Thu could be massive. Iirc, did we not play well in the closed door game against Inter in 2005?

 

[brobert99]

Feel sorry for those who have booked up to go

Think it’s only a matter of time before this is happening here unfortunately

 

[Kaiserweiss]

No, its a government decision.

I just wished they would postpone it now instead of playing roulette with peoples lives

Yes and it was shite! Utter utter shite

no one wants it and as per wolves manager and man city the games should be postponed

 

[Diego Maradona]

You'll no be saying that if the league's declared null and void

I’ll be buying a Chinese to celebrate that.

 

[A Magician Named Gob]

Do we Rangers not have to agree with this decision?

I don't think the club has that sort of clout with the German health authorities.

 

[Bluethunder]

As bad as we are on the field just now,this makes a huge difference to the psyche of the players,if Ibrox is rocking and raucous on thursday.stop them scoring is imperative ,whilst trying to sneak a goal or two...go for it gers,our 12th man could be the difference here.

 

[Cuparbear]

Sunday will probably be the last time we see Rangers this season

 

[cockney gers boy]

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

you sure you didnae write it?

 

[Otis Blue]

Gutted for all the bears that were looking forward to this trip. Hope everyone gets their money back and we get through to last 8.

 

[Delboy19]

Yes and it was shite! Utter utter shite

no one wants it and as per wolves manager and man city the games should be postponed

I'm not disagreeing with your sentiments. Without the fans games lose most if not all their reason.

 

[George Goudie]

I don't think the club has that sort of clout with the German health authorities.

It's an Uefa dictated decision. Has to be agreed between all 3 parties.

Uefa has the clout although they've said nothing on the matter.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Do we Rangers not have to agree with this decision? ,, @Greg Marshall

No say. Local authorities and national governments kinda trump football clubs ya madman uefa arent that important either.

 

[Kaiserweiss]

Uefa has the clout although they've said nothing on the matter.

Yes because of money.

It is disgusting

 

[Neilston Unionist]

I don’t think the CL or EL will even finish this year in all honesty

 

[Kaiserweiss]

No say. Local authorities and national governments kinda trump football clubs ya madman

I would imagine clubs still involved will want to discuss the situation as it is and what it’s likely to be like.

 

[student_loyal]

Whit?

If the local government says 'no gatherings over 1000 people' then that's that.

 

[Arminius]

Do you think flights to the likes of Cologne will be getting canceled? Hope so now since i have one booked

Im booked to Cologne as well

Lile you. I’m genuinely hoping they cancel them and I’ll get my dough back.

Guess we’ll all just to have wait and see
