    Game off tomorrow - Just had confirmed
    Spurs still havent confirmed Saturday's game as off yet.  Assuming it will be given the state of Tottenham High Road.

    My mate seems to think it will still be on? But even if the club gave it the go ahead, surely the police wouldnt have it?

    Just back from Bromley centre (10.30 pm)  Saw police chase a large group (20-25) black and white some masked down Glassmill Lane at the side of Martin's Hill Park.  Lots of young people with hoodies walking towards the centre of town.  Spoke to police who, considering the circumstances, were extraordinarily polite.  I was expecting 'move along nothing to see' but they were very helpful.  A most depressing situation and by the look of it, there is more to come.  One of Primark's windows had been smashed but relatively little damage by the time I left but now (11pm) I can hear sirens going so perhaps the crowds are out again.  Dear me - however will they get up for work in the morning poor souls when they have spent all night involved in social justice?

    There might not be any footy on in London for the foreseeable, I reckon.....hopefully not though.  Might be a while before you see anything at WHL, though, JohnBoy....
  • I know football becomes irrelevant in situations like this & I totally understand that but just wanted to ask the question:

    Do you think the game could be called off tomorrow?

  • BBC Newsnight say they couldn't get a cabinet Minister on the show as they are all "unavailable".

    Live footage still on Sky 514 of Peckham & Croydon.

    Poor quality video that shows what is happening in North Bromley. Heavy police presence, not sure whether there is looting but NO fires...
    Thanks Dan

    Darcus Howe no spouting absolute bollocks on newsnight. The same block who saw racism in an NFFC flag when forest where playing at the Valley. If we are taking fruitcakes like this seriously then we really are in trouble,

  • On official site that game tomorrow called off on advice of police. Stay safe pople!
  • Ken Livingstone all over the media scoring political points. Disgusting bloke.
