    Whole situation is a farce.
    Remember last week - BRE didn't travel cause he had a sore throat and needed a Covid test. Now obviously he didn't test positive but there was clearly some uncertainty and the club took a sensible decision not to play him. This of course did not impact the rest of the team in any way.
    If there's a mass outbreak in a squad then fair enough but 1 player is not a reason to call a game off.

    To be fair to Stevenage, it clearly seems that they are testing all players and if they come back negative - game on, if there's an outbreak - game off. But what happens if there is a delay in results being available?

    Final thought - Cheltenham and Walsall are both now free to play. Would seem sensible for them to play each other. With cases rising the season will never end unless there is some flexibility

    Based on that, there's no way the EFL can allow our game to be called off tomorrow. But with this lot who knows.

    I agree, guidance and rules constantly change. It’s really difficult. Really doesn’t help any of us.

    We really do need to be moving away from panicking about every single individual positive test or Covid case.

    What's the average national age in the UK, 6?

    Is this the best strategy we have?

    I thought that, but Grimsby said they didn't bother testing everyone as they were advised it would make no difference. All very odd.

    Imagine the farce if the game starts as no results are back and then they start pinging through during the match all positive.

    If they are classed as close contacts then a negative test doesn’t remove the need to isolate for 14 days as they may have just got it and it wouldn’t show on the test yet

    Spalding United are part time team that most likely have no more than 2 evening trading sessions a week. The game time may be useful in his development but if he is training so little it undoes that benefit so almost certainly will be training with Grimsby

    Well it will end - same as last season. PPG.

    How many clubs would go bust if this season wasnt played?

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

    Can’t see how they can allow Plymouth game to go ahead with 2 positive tests and not are game but probably not

    The way things are going, quite a few of the City squad will be eligible for a free bus pass by the time everything gets back to normal!
