Here to play, here to stay Pronouns: he/him Joined: 8 February 2015 Posts: 20,248 User: 21,587	What is there to think about? It was obvious that this would happen, and more sports cancellations are inevitable. Imagine the publicity if Coronavirus was spread by means of a major sporting event, the press would be all over why the authorities allowed the event to go ahead. Prevention is always better than a cure.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Aintree Festival got postponed. I was surprised that Cheltenham Festival went ahead. At the moment, I can't see the Euros going ahead at all.
