just wonder if there are any guidelines never mind rules that clubs have to follow. one minute games ore off for 2 infections then you get this rotherham situation. its typical that league 1 seems the worst affected league for some reason or other. got to blame steve evans and his showty mate in spreading it to other clubs.

I have just been on the E.F.L,website and rung a number for supporters that it tells you too, after a few mins a voice tells you there is no one yon to talk to yon and to contact them on the i follow site, which i did last sat and have been ignored,so thats a good example of what they regard fans.:mad:

I also contacted ifollow and was informed that the payment carries over to when the match is played, so you don't lose out.

If that is the case, they should contact everybody and tell them, not let the customer contact them to find out......... rubbish customer service!

Andy - I don't think that is accurate.
Everyone at Rotherham went into isolation and are now clear.
They have one test result outstanding.
EFL medical staff can liaise with counterparts at a club, but only a club can decide whether it wishes to call a game off on medical grounds.
With respect one pending test result should not result in a cancellation.
Tell the lad concerned to stay at home.
Injuries are irrelevent.
I think their squad can cope with one missing for covid reasons...........
Game on enough said.

Wasn't what Paul Warne publicly said, and just today a bit of common sense by the club doctor at Rochdale who is a GP and worked on the Covid front as said he really questions wether football is wise to continue in the current outbreak, players being asked to travel in and out of tier 4:areas without regular testing. He says some players are worried about picking the virus up and passing it among their kids, partners or elderly relatives, why should footballers be any different from others. Game on lives put at risk?

Been a big government meeting this afternoon new tier announcement,s tomorrow at about 3 should I imagine be most of country in tier 4 or even worse, Premiership reports 18 positive cases worst since testing began to me at league's 1 and 2 level and below the best scenario would especially with the bad weather as well forecast a break for as long as the strongest tiers are in place.

I think what Warney has said is very accurate if you read what has been published on BBC site.
What did he say publicly ?

Doesn't mention on BBC site anything about in Rotherham,s case the EFL said to the club and Warne that nine days isolation was " medically " ok instead of the 10 days for every other club, so whatever players that affected were suddenly eligible to play appears that the EFL are playing at being God now, maybe next club they choose to pick on they,ll reduce it to what 8, 7, take your pick.
