Pompey fans have been having their say on the EFL’s decision to suspension all games until at least April 4.

It means the Blues’ League One fixtures against Accrington (tomorrow), Doncaster Rovers (March 17), Ipswich (March 21) and Oxford (March 28) will all have to be rescheduled.

At present, the Leasing.com Trophy final against Salford on Sunday, April 5, will go ahead as planned.

However, with authorities continuing to assess the situation, a decision later down the line could be made.

In the meantime, Pompey fans have taken to Twitter to express their views on the three-week suspension.

Here’s what they have been saying...

@RacketsOut: Plenty of time to sort out our dire current performance. Problem is if some/all players get sick then they’ll not be on their best when they get back.

@tylrwllsn: Don't tell my girlfriend xx.

@turnerryan2301: That FA Cup run we had now looks very important with the cash we got from it just hope the final is still going to be played PLAY UP POMPEY.

@J_Tate1898: Can’t see the leasing final taking place.

@DavidPotter10: Realistically it's unlikely the season will resume. Is the club’s finances healthy enough to survive that?

@merson_pfc: It’s the best solution.

@Ruffy_Roy: Complete panic over nothing in my opinion.

Next the fixtures will be cancelled due to sunburn risk.

Seriously, it’s a flu strain, nothing more.

@JoshArnold_: Going to miss you, football x

@SevorgP: Not going to be popular but a wise decision in the circumstances I think.

@PompeyTwiter: To be fair they should just cancel the season, no winners no losers. There is no other way all them missed fixtures will be played.

@Putbotski: One to look out for.......Play-offs to be scrapped this season...top 3 to go up????
