# West Ham: Fans react to the Manchester City match being postponed

**West Ham were due to visit the Etihad on Sunday but the match was postponed due to bad weather conditions, which prompted quite the reaction from fans.**

It is a fixture in which Manchester City are runaway favourites but David Moyes and his team will likely be frustrated by the development, as it could lead to a fixture pile-up for West Ham later on.

Naturally, many supporters are disappointed by the decision not to play the match, particularly as many would have been travelling to Manchester or already in the city by the time the announcement was made. Other fans have been more comical in their reaction, acknowledging that the Hammers’ have at least avoided another loss, which will come as a relief given a run of [six defeats in ten games](https://www.skysports.com/west-ham-united-results).

The prospect of a fixture pile-up could work in their favour, too, as Manchester City have upcoming Champions League matches against Real Madrid to consider also, and that could lead fatigue to build prior to West Ham’s return. Here is some of the discussion taking place in relation to the match being postponed.
