Nobody Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Feels incredibly unfair that we have to play Man City on Sunday (never mind the fact that they've had two more days off for this fixture, as if they needed the extra advantage), while a lot of our competitors will have a nice and cushy winter break.

They will also have the chance to strengthen in Jan when they eventually play these postponed games. Massive advantage when you're in a relegation battle.

r0cafella Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Do we have any understanding of the vaccine hesitancy? I have my theories but do we have anything concrete? Of course these players are making a huge mistake but good luck solving a problem without understanding it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Is there a legal reason that the Premier League doesn't make vaccinations mandatory? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Colchester vs Hartlepool and Carlisle vs Bradford have both just been called off due to Covid. Another break really does seem inevitable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I'm not sure what the Premier League are playing at. Even at an optical level, facilitating the spread of COVID, for presumably their bottom line isn't great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Given their lack of care for fans, don't rule our postponements tomorrow/Sunday at the 11th hour. Surprised they haven't scrapped this weekend already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie_b Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 So the teams with potentially poor covid protocols get the advantage of a mid season break and a transfer window over the teams that have fulfilled their fixtures?

Guest HTT II Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 My boys’ team were meant to play in a tournament on Monday, it’s now been cancelled for Covid reasons. I hope we don’t just start cancelling grassroots sport like previous lockdowns… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Anyone heard much about queues and delays getting in to matches at other grounds this week due to having to show covid passes? Everything moves really slowly in the East Stand anyway because the average age is like 74, so I'm wondering how early I'll have to get there to get in for kick off.

Dandy Don Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Strange how all these games we're called off inside a few days,all these players with covid? Think its more to do with clubs wanting a break before the hectic Xmas period. Funny how all the non league games went ahead,and Scottish as well. I wonder?

duo Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I think any players bought in Jan should be banned from playing in postponed games from pre Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
