Looks like after 2and a half years out of the game big Sam Allardyce taking West Bromwich bjob after the sacking of Bilac, don't think many clubs have money to through around on compensation for in work managers at the moment.

[andyd]

Sunderland have asked for their next three games to be postponed after outbreak of Covid at the club, apparently wanted last night's game called off when 1 player was positive but EFL refused, safety in mind there then by the EFL and some grounds have fans in.

[andyd]

Apparently eight players missed Sunderland,s game last night 1 positive 7 showing symptoms isolated, after extensive dialogue over several hours the game went ahead because the EFL wasn't sure about what sanctions could or cound not be applied, how long has the pandemic to last until the rule book is clear, yet again it has shown it's ineptitude.

[andyd]

Sunderland to be fair wanted the game off and to be honest they were right, if fully recovered their next scheduled game is against us.

IF this Government were serious, it would be tier 3 - or whatever - nationwide!!!

All they are allowing is people to move into lower tiers when it suits - absolute joke!!

If it's any consolation, the Portsmouth Branch has just joined you in Tier 3. Given we have a huge Uni, I'm amazed it's taken us so long - our students obviously didn't try hard enough to be bad in October, but our schoolkids have finally made it happen.

Que sera sera

Should have been all tier 3 after lockdown you can see which way this is heading though, furlong scheme extended again today until the end of April 2021. Coincidence I think not as that is when they hope to have most vunerable people in society vaccinated, so to me no major lifting of restrictions until then. Regards to football can't see larger than 2000 anywhere until after then so probably next season when some norm may return, may not get to see much then in the flesh of this current Stanley team, sorry it's a depressing read but it's probably very realistic, have as good as a Xmas you can have safely. Ps for anyone reading this who thinks the government are overboard on this I was in hospital yesterday for a small procedure and believe me it's real stay safe.

[VALAIRIAN]

Andy, you are realist mate, I agree with you! It is real and it is here.....

Agree about footy in the flesh, but it is a small price to pay and it will not be forever

possibility of another so called big team to visit the wham next season if we do not go up. bet old man windass will not be there to watch his lad if thats the case.

Oh dear Peterborough,s next 3 games postponed due to Covid, that,s a quarter of league 1,s games off tomorrow, season going to struggle to finish on time at this rate. Might if extended get some fans back, as looming lockdown after Xmas will push everything fan wise back until April.
