Ipswich, Gillingham, Portsmouth, Sunderland, Blackpool and Doncaster they have for some reason missed the Ipswich v Northampton game of the BBC fixture list six off, and Stanley's games at Portsmouth and Sunderland are still in some doubt because apparently this new strain is leaving some quite poorly.

Only a matter of time before it rips through league 2 unfortunately can see season being suspended or even worse voided.

Ain't bad is an understatement Cashy.
Only 8 points below top spot with 3 games in hand -You do the maths!

With Sunderland off as well now these so called games in hand will become problematic if Portsmouth do the same as Sunderland have done due to this outbreak apparently leaving some players quite ill and unable to play, we if they insist on this season carrying on will be playing 3 games a week.You can argue unlevel playing circumstances as Paul Tisdale tried doing after Bristol Rovers defeat yesterday saying players hadn't had enough time back training after their outbreak, it affected Stanley against Tranmere although Coleman refused to use it as an excuse. If it breaks out at anymore this week surely time for a break until it hopefully subsides again better than voided season surely.

The frost covers are in place at the Wham with weather forecast in the evening,s upto Saturday at between -1/-2 degree,s wondering with the distance Portsmouth have to travel if there will be a pitch inspection before Saturday Mr. T. could answer this.

Seems to be a growing consensus in football circles that the continuation of the season is rapidly reaching the crossroads, morality questions about should footballers be treated any different from other employees, especially with only random testing at a lot of clubs, with most of the country now in tier 4 should they have to travel about. Even John Coleman when asked about playing catch up said naturally from a football point of view he would rather play but in the middle of a serious pandemic which is affecting families with illness and death football becomes just what it is a game. Even Andy Holt has tweeted he,ll eat hay with a donkey if this season finishes on time I for one will help him digest it.

if football had fans watching it live then i think there is more of a reason to continue with it. helps peoples morale etc. something actually to look forward too. streaming live is just a glorified new television programme we watch because its on. doubt anyone gets excited the day before or matchday like they used to be.

As Cashy says it's better than nothing but I don't sing at the telly wait until just before switch on to make sure it's working turn the volume on when the commentary starts just can't see the point in stadium announcers reading teams out to a virtually empty stadium, the teams are on the screen. Then I do enjoy the game as I love football but and it is a but can't help but feel they are a bit like training games at times crowds whatever anyone says make a difference the tables would all be different it definitely affects performance levels, but it's the same for everyone wether it reaches a natural conclusion is anybody,s guess would be for the best but can see a few twists and turns yet.

Bit concerned weather wise for Saturday I live quite close to the ground it froze quite hard last night and now it's snowing heavyly again with a forecast for -3 tomorrow night.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 
got to agree with all that. what i find really corny is clubs like hartlepool who still insist on playing home goal scoring music when they score. not sure if there has been a study about it but the gulls flying around the vic do not look too exited about it.
