I imagine the postponement has to be EFL approved so waiting for them to ok announcement.

According to the BBC, the EFL "Are monitoring the situation"

Wonder what was within the warehouse to produce such smoke.
Looks like some sort of rubber or similar content.

Saints shirts with ‘Manning’ on the back 

[iansums]

Are they just waiting for the smoke detectors in St. Mary's to go off?

Postponed, gutted

[Whitey Grandad]

Now for Saturday ☹️

[RedWillie]

Extra rest for KWP and Fraser

[Harry_SFC]

Let's hope they don't reschedule this for the midweek before the last game of the season...

[Saint_clark]

Is it still burning then? 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Bugger. First time for ages I’ve got tickets and able to go. Oh well…an omen from the fabled witch perhaps? 🤔😉

[Hamwic]

Some years ago there was a massive fire in a Liebherr warehouse in Newport Pagnell which covered the area in black smoke. Numerous local businesses had to evacuate their premises. Is this Marcus trying to tell us something?

Part of the industrial building has now collapsed and the fire service have sent additional engines, totalling 18.

[aintforever]

Could work in our favour, PNE are in good form and we have key players out.

With a bit of luck PNE might have nothing to play for when it is rearranged.

Edit: missing quoted post.

We'll end up with some sort of Sholing style fixture pile up from a couple of seasons ago when they had to play something like 10 games in 3 weeks.

If SMS has been evacuated then there is pretty much zero chance of the game going ahead tonight, and probably explains why the club haven't made any kind of statement on social media yet.

Good shout.

Jesus. Some of the images show the fire dangerously close to the stadium exterior, anyone know what the material is around the top? Is it perspex?

Polycarbonate rather than acrylic but I expect there would need to be an inspection of some sort.

[The Realist]

anybody have an idea when they might re-arrange this game for?

Do we have another international break? Could it be played then?

[davefizzy14]

Really gutted about tonight. Still the main positive is that it gives both KWP and Fraser extra time to recover 😊

I think this is an opportunity for Martin to say how brave the firefighters have been.  Tremendous courage.  So so proud of them.

[SNSUN]

If you didn't know the game had been postponed and went to SMS, the only Bree you'd see tonight is debris. 

 

 

[Saint In Cornwall]

Fireman Sam Edozie wouldn’t have been available tonight.

Held their lines well and maintained 100% possession of that industrial estate. 
 

Total firefighting.

The scrapyard or stadium?

Next wednesday would be a good day for a rearranged game. KWP fit. Won't get too far behind other teams games wise and reduces our 20 day break.

Terrible date. I shall be out of the country.

Unconfirmed reports that it's the Rankersen Book Depository and Yoga Studio Inc. that's gone up in flames.  Rather interesting given the release of the financial statement earlier in the week.

Given Preston are away to Plymouth on Saturday 16th they could stay down here and have access to our training facilities if required. 
It would be a sensible solution………it won’t happen of course !!

[Saint Keef]

Seems like the light show and firework display has started a tad early.

[Disco Stu]

8 games in April seems likely now. Even if we do take it to the last day at Elland road, we'll be knackered and the last thing we want is fatigue and injuries just before the play-offs.

Good evening everyone.

I learned this afternoon of the fire in a warehouse near the Saint Mary Stadium.

My thoughts are with the fire brigade and the emergency services.

I sincerely hope that no-one was injured in this tragic fire.

It was a wise decision to postpone tonight's match.

Take care everyone.

I doubt it, think it will be one of the midweeks in April.

Sky were due to show the game (on the red button) so that may also come into the consideration. I suspect they'd like to show the rearranged game on a midweek they don't already have games they plan to show.

Now, how could a book depository possibly become part of a conspiracy theory? 🙂
