Probably be postponed. But can't be abandoned.
RagsThe fan isn’t then in the ground though is he. Can’t have a football game going on when there’s medical teams trying to save someone’s life in the stands.Will this be abandoned if the person is in serious difficulty or worse?
Will it ? ... or should it ?
In my opinion it certainly shouldn't be abandoned. If some poor fan was knocked over by a car outside the ground just before kick-off (for example) then it wouldn't be abandoned
That's not what i said .... after the incident is over (ie fan is taken to hospital, or fan dies)... then the game should continue
debullyIt's just a guy I know in Chicago.philly_bluenoseJust put a quid on Burke scoring at odds of 5,000-1 !
Which bookie? Can't find one accepting Burke as a scorer!

The show must go on

Almost certainly, you’d imagine.
The fan’s health comes first. Football is trivial in comparison
Completely disagree if you are suggesting the match should be abandoned.
I think it’s a tough decision to make, especially at this stage of the season.
It entirely depends on if the fan can be resuscitated, imo
Other matches have been abandoned in similar circumstances so I think there's a very good chance of this being called off soon. (by abandoned - obviously it'll be replayed at some stage)
debullyThink the patient will be moved at the earliest opportunity. Can't imagine their attending companions will be hanging around. Free to crack on at that point or is that just disrespectful?
I wish the person the very best for clarity.
Will the players be up for it now?...
Definitely shouldn’t be abandoned, a nonsense decision if so.
Finally found him at 2-1 anytime scorer which I didn't bite on
If the fan passes away in the ground then surely the game won't go ahead
Doesn't look good, hoping they are ok

If the worst happens with the fan, I couldn’t blame either set of players for not being in the frame of mind to continue playing football straight after.
I expect it’ll be postponed
debullyWhat are the odds of him not scoring? That might be a better bet.Finally found him at 2-1 anytime scorer which I didn't bite on
Surely it's better to move them and get them to hospital?
