    Stevenage player tests positive and game in doubt.

    Grimsby game definitely off as they are self isolating.

    This is going to be a right mess very soon.

    Like many fans I have always thought this would happen.

    One of the few professions where employees don't have to socially distance whilst going about their job, it was always inevitable.

    This season is going to be a mess and disjointed until it eventually gets curtailed, hence my reason not to renew season tickets

    Leyton Orient kicked out of the cup for positive cases, West Ham allowed to carry on regardless.

    Leyton Orient game this weekend off, our game with Grimsby has been postponed next week, weeks clogged up with the EFL trophy.

    It was bound to happen, I'm suprised we lasted 3 weeks.

    If cup games have to be forfeited, why don’t league games? Would give an incentive to make players be extra cautious?

    Yet we play every year with colds and flus.. over kill in the extreme cancelling games. Could be it for many teams if this carries on.

    Can you explain how players could be extra cautious. If their wives work, if their children are at school?

    People are talking on the other thread about all the players we need. With all the resurgence of the virus and games being cancelled I think we should hold fire for the time being before committing ourselves any further. It could be that our extreme lack of dynamism in the transfer market, whatever the reason for it, could prove to be a blessing in disguise.

    West Ham just isolated the players effected, so could play on. I presume they had better processes in place so PHE were happy

    So the EFL's guidance after one positive test is to shut down the club for two weeks. Absolute farce, the season will never finish at this rate. Yet the PL can carry on as normal after multiple tests. What a shock the EFL haven't got a clue once again.

    Farce is the word. The season wont end, and how many clubs will go bust?

    Parker saying City are not happy with the way Stevenage and Grimsby have gone about making a public announcement. He says to expect a statement shortly.

    The EFL wanted the game played and were probably happy to look the other way.

    Wouldn't it be better to give all the players and staff the virus now. Wait 2 weeks and then start again.

    Damned if you do damned if you don’t.

    I bought a season ticket to support the club. If season ends up cancelled so be it, I’m not going to cry over a match being postponed, or the season if it pans out that way. It’s £150, about 3 cheap nights out.
