but only 2 in the non league FA Trophy, the odd one in the welsh league and so far none in scotland. does make you wonder a bit.

Burnley,s match at Aston villa called off 2 hours before kick off feel for fans who have travelled just come home from the Midlands and roads are busy someone has to make a decision these kind of postponement,s are ridiculous.

Rick Parry said EFL taking it one day at a time no plans for a break yet but if government,s so called plans for a 2 week lockdown after Xmas happens the decision will be made for them cancel all your game plans then��

actually from the fans point of view the government taking action is the best option. saves a situation the burnley fans had to suffer yesterday not happening. its the fans that suffer the most with a day to day approach and last minute cancellations. the reason why i never buy tickets for anything apart from on the day of an event. saves having to go through the hassle of getting your money back.

know cases are going up every day but it does seem a little odd how quickly they went up amongst the premier league clubs. they are willing to play much weakened sides un cup competitions when it suits them. at least leeds did not make the virus an excuse with all the injuries they have calling off last nights game. being the televised game that may have helped their decision though.

And astonishingly five of the top six in league one managed to get their games played. Points on the board over games in hand any day.

Premiership vote to continue playing saying if you have 13 fit players plus a goalkeeper you must fulfill your fixtures, expect the EFL will follow suit.

FA have scrapped replays for the 3rd and 4th round,s of the FA cup to help ease fixture congestion caused by COVID you can see were this is all going can't you.
