Here is how Rovers fans have reacted to the major turn of events.

@andysimms1989: If it stops Leeds going up and Liverpool winning the league then postpone the whole thing! In all seriousness best thing to do, more to life than football.

@Leebbuk: Should have played behind closed doors and allowed club to stream the matches free to ST holders and the monthly cost to anyone else, at least there would be revenue for the club

@Stevenloose: Love Rovers, love life just a little bit more. We have a duty to be responsible even if the government made a decision not to be. #lifebeforemoney

@OwenJHall: It’s corona time

@berksrover: Seems to fly in the face of the scientific evidence at this stage, the number of cases will be far higher in early April, effectively the end of the season

@apstubbings: Absolutely the right decision. Gutted of course, football is a huge part of our lives week-to-week. Just have to hope the situation is brought under control and the season can be finished, whenever that may be.

@Gazz_Runs: Any pies going cheap?

@Donny_Rovers: Surprised it’s taken this long, definitely the right decision and about time we caught up with the rest of Europe

@Iansnorthernmon: expunge the season, start afresh. Plenty of debate about that and arguments from Leeds, Liverpool, Bolton etc, but it might be as though the 2019/20 season never existed.

@Cross31Paul: I can understand but it’s messed with my rest days so when they replay I could be at work and unable to get off so lose out on my season ticket

@CaptainScho: My golf handicap might improve...

@nigelwalkden: No complaints

@Storey_Ben: Correct decision, but should the season continue after contracts expire, what will happen?

@markkisby: It was inevitable, also I beieve the season will not be finished this year, as all scientific forecasts are that the UK CV cases will peak this summer. The rest of this season games could even be decided by 'pools panel' system?
