    Parents don't need to isolate unless their child is showing symptoms or has tested positive

    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.

    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.

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

    The difference may have been the numbers involved. Apparently 17 at one and 3 at the other

    And a few weeks later repeat. There is no evidence yet that having it stops you getting it again long term

    Yet tomorrow we are talking about a team with 1 positive being postponed. There is clearly a lack of guidance or any plan B.

    Not pleased at all, just puzzled as to why so many even contemplated that this wouldn't happen.
    The club will struggle financially as it is and could do without the admin costs in issuing refunds.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but if you have come into contact with someone with CoVid you should isolate for 14 days. This is what I would have to do if a child in my daughters class tested positive as my daughter could have been in contact and I am in contact with my daughter.

    So why would the Stevenage players even if tested negative not be the same.

    The reason we got for quarantines being required for overseas travel and not tests at the airport is that it can take several days to appear, so today's tests are fairly irrelevant.

    Apparently there is no compulsory testing process either like in the PL. Orient's tests had been paid for by Spurs

    How long does it take to get from Stevenage to Bradford by coach? I know best case its just under 4 hours by car so they would need to leave by about 10am to get there for 2pm when they are required to be at the ground but I imagine by coach its atleast another hour so it would be cutting it fine if the test results aren't in by 8am at the latest.

    As for what happens its the same rules as normal when it comes to illness and that's it will depend if the league accept it as a valid reason why they can't field a team. If they just don't turn up without the league giving the OK the match will be forfeited and a 3-0 win awarded (That better not happen. WTF do I do with the Prediction League if that's the case?) but if the league deems them unable to field a team that usually triggers a postponement. Think it was Middlesbrough in the PL a few years back had basically their whole team out with illness and the league told them to play their reserves or forfeit the match. I would imagine with COVID though they are going to be much more open to granting a postponement even for a single player. But then again we saw in the league cup WH have to play and Orient couldn't play and were basically kicked out so maybe they will keep taking the tough line and say to both Stevenage and Grimsby to play their reserves (or u18's) or forfeit them match

    This was the statement from Grimsby Town's chairman:

    There seems to be a bit of a leap (with no explanation) from the players could be tested again, to allow the Grimsby v City match to go ahead, to the training ground needs to be shut down for 14 days and so the Grimsby v City match is off.

    Surely, the unavailability of a training ground is not a reason in itself to call off the match, otherwise we could keep calling matches off every time our training pitches flood.
