What about the fans 45,000 travelling to it, who have booked trains/flights/hotels? That would be a bit of a kicker with 36 hours notice.

What do the rules say?

Apparently we can’t cancel the Europe game. I meant more the Prem games.

We can ask to cancel the league games
Think uefa rules are something like if you have 13 players and a goalkeeper the game can go ahead.
Prem rules are a lot more complicated and go into things like have they had to miss training that might increase risk of injury. How many from each position effected etc...

Even if only had like three players out?

There's also the issue that we'd be at a competitive advantage if our game is played later than Arnhem's (i.e knowing the goal difference we'd need to hit).
In that case, if we get down to say 3-4 players out, probably in our interest to play

Not at all - it's very strictly whatever the Arsenal vice-chairman decides

We’ll add in injuries too and the numbers get bigger
But the club will do what’s right for the club

We already have one league match postponed. More postpone matches could lead to a real fixture congestion at some point, particularly if we secure second in the Conference.
Fewer players means even less opportunity to rotate in the next couple matches, and weaker lineups if the games are played.
Honestly don't think going out of the Conference would be that bad at this point. Not saying we should go out on purpose, but if we do I won't be particularly upset.

Disagree - we've got a huge chance of winning this and finally breaking our silverware duck. That's more important than pretty much anything at the moment.
Our squad have done bugger all for 2 years and are rusty more than anything

It will also help us with the coefficient in Europe that we need when we move on.
