Who knows tomorrow they might postpone it again. Just beyond pathetic on their end but wouldn’t expect anything less from them.
I can’t imagine there were too many people who made plans between 5pm yesterday and 1pm today. On the other hand, there were plenty who made plans for seasons end as it was scheduled.

It’s pretty simple really. There was a meeting and email confirmation not too long ago (3 August) which explained how the season would be finished. And that was to drop leg one of the semi finals, play games as best you can. Games unable to be played would be a draw. And most importantly, “No extension to the season GF would be on the 16,17 & 18 September.”

So you can imagine the shock when clubs were given yesterdays news right at the end of the day with no consultation with any clubs and going completely against what was communicated to all clubs less than 5 weeks ago.
The right decision has been made and now we move on.
