Covid and Fixtures
Just looked on the official site and - taking it as read - there are X9 free midweeks.
Not sure how many games we have missed, but we are about X4 short of most other teams. Then there is the Papa don't preach trophy, which could add more games. Weather could play its part too:- https://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/...tion-tomorrow/ A view from Coley:- https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55497280 What do we think?? :) :) :) |
Re: Covid and Fixtures
Pitch inspection at 1-30 tomorrow apparently it froze the pitch under the covers at -5 last night me thinks it's 30/100 chance of being on. So if it is off we will be 5 games behind some with a minimum of 31 possible 35 to fit in 17 weeks?

Re: Covid and Fixtures
makes no difference andy what will be will be or so the song goes.:)though coleman i agree with the season needs extending
|
Re: Covid and Fixtures
John Coleman even called for a season extension on the radio this morning also saying that for the first 2 to 3 weeks Covid tests were regular then basically put to bed read into that what you want, says he likes to pick his strongest squad but being asked to play every 4 days that would be unfair on the legs of players so basically being pushed into selection of whose available, same argument Paul Warne was using but didn't want sanctions.

Bearing in mind that supporters are not travelling, the fact that there is an 'early warning' to me - just my opinion! - is not a good sign.... Like the Prediction League - I hope I am wrong ;)

Re: Covid and Fixtures
EFL more interested in saying things like try not to mix as much in the dressing room travel to games alone in your car, 200+ miles to an away game then play avoid one another in the dressing room after hugging each other after scoring then drive home again. Don't bother with testing it's to expensive.

[QUOTE=Crown Grounder; Forecast for Saturday is bright but near freezing during the day. Tomorrow looks a bit milder but still freezing overnight. Even if it gets the all clear at 1.30pm, the match referee may still call it off. Let's hope its playable.......I'm missing my football......[/QUOTE]
the problem with frozen pitches is that even if 90 odd per cent of the pitch is playable just a small frozen part will deem it unplayable. remember the burton call off a few seasons ago. |
Re: Covid and Fixtures
Play-offs take place - finals - 29th-31st of May, so that is 3 weeks after the last game of the season.
Euro 2020, takes place from 11th June, I cannot see this date being moved, so there is not a huge amount of wriggle room, but the season could easily be extended by 2 weeks, which is X4 games. Just have to see :) Happy New Year everybody :) :) :) :) |

Just have to see :) Happy New Year everybody :) Easy isn't in the EFL vocabulary instead they have sent a letter to all clubs with 11 rules to try and follow with the new outbreak, among them use multiple coaches to game or travel to the game in your own car, turn up to training in your kit to avoid changing room contact, zoom if possible team meetings, etc, reactivate instead of proactive happy new year everyone, hopefully a more positive one, crowds back next season. |

You can't compare the two. Warney tried it on because he didn't fancy taking the Tykes on who are playing well (by the way they've had covid squad issues but chose not to moan). As a side note have any sanctions been applied to any club ? No. |
Re: Covid and Fixtures
We mustn't fancy playing Pompey been paying Jack Frost overtime, oops woke up 2021 that horrible Covid must have been a dream.

Re: Covid and Fixtures
120 days now to fit minimum 31 games in clock ticking on decision on season extension especially with today's news on this new varient of Covid is much more infectious and spreading widely plus possible bad weather Stanley's game was off the minute that mercury dropped below 0.

Bristol City asked for their game to be postponed tomorrow at Brentford due to players showing symptoms, can't get testing done as site shut for New year's Day, that will have minds at the EFL spinning.

Re: Covid and Fixtures
Since this pandemic began the football authorities have been slow to react on a lot of things bailouts, etc, can't be easy but you should learn from errors, fans back in stadiums is as far away now as it was in March no income, so forward planning is a must an extension is a must or it will all end in tears. Clubs are businesses they need income and leadership something the EFL seems incapable of.

Pompey always get games frozen off, even in the premier league when their chairman had given a 100% guarantee I game was on, called it off a few hours before as the covers and heaters they rented didn't thaw the middle of the pitch and it wasn't apparent until they removed the covers. |

Wimbledon v Lincoln the wombles had asked for the game to be postponed due to positive tests and isolation cases at both clubs and following protocol, the EFL insists the game is played what's going on?

Re: Covid and Fixtures
after reading all these posts i have come to a conclusion. pro football must be the most unhealthy job of work in the country at the moment. being young, fit and healthy seems the best way to contract this virus.

All clubs are testing next week and nothing more (unless symptons showing) is being mentioned The EFL got £50 million from the PL in December (thank you) but over the summer the Govt told them to give the EFL £250 million |

The EFL is owned by the 72 member clubs (equally) If the EFL were to fund anything extra; the clubs would get less cash. Due to a lack of income from all sources the EFL can't even guess at what we'll get next year |

Is it not possible to use the cheaper 15 minutes turn around tests on the players maybe once in the week and pre-match or will the EFL or the medical teams not allow them?

No plans to extend the season but FA have said no postponement,s due to Covid in the next round round as there is no space in the calendar, if you do ask for it off you forfeit the tie.

May not all be down to covid but teams should have played 22 games by now and the only one to have managed it is Burton who probably wish they hadn't.

F.A. have woken up finally and said they don't think football below elite level will finish the season on schedule might finally realise it probably won't at elite level either.

Re: Covid and Fixtures
With this new lockdown announced and transmission rates between 50% and 70% with this new varient confirmed and elite sports allowed to continue surely regular testing of participants irigardless of cost should be implemented especially as reports from some hospitals are saying patients across all ages are quite ill, players themselves with regards to their families safety should be through their union be lobbying for it.

Re: Covid and Fixtures
Didn't take long from today's testing Derby county several players positive will Chorley be awarded the tie, should imagine a few more clubs will be affected, when will it all end getting demoralised more by the hour get them jabs rolling, was at hospital today and my nurse was vaccinated on Xmas Eve a bit of bright news and hope for the coming weeks.
