Remember when they refused to cancel the Cheltenham festival and it helped to massively spread the virus across the country? 

 

Yeah, that. 


Liverpool v Atletico around the same time, too.

I absolutely got it either on the train to/from town, in the ground or in pubs on the day we played Brentford. Absolute breeding ground, especially the crush for the bogs at half time.

Aye it’s a breeding ground like you said and sadly because he’s a daft that he isn’t jabbed, and has it bad. I said now will you get your jabs, no point if I’ve had it… :uglystupid2:

From the BBC - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/59679458

 

at 14:45- 

An increasing number of Premier League clubs want fixtures suspended until 2022 report ESPN.

"Premier League chiefs have been informed that with rising case numbers being fuelled by the omicron variant, there would be support for suspending games until the weekend of 8-9 January, when FA Cup third-round ties are due to take place," they write.

"Under the proposal, Premier League games would restart on 15 January.

"Officially, the Premier League is still considering postponements on a case-by-case basis. The Premier League did not immediately respond to a request for comment when asked about plans for a shutdown by ESPN."

 

and at 14:54- 

The Premier League has released a statement in relation to the postponement of Manchester United's match against Brighton on Saturday.

It makes interesting reading considering a report earlier today (see 14:45 GMT) that clubs are pushing for a league-wide shutdown.

"It is with regret that this is the fourth Premier League fixture to have been postponed in the past week," say the Premier League.

"While recognising a number of clubs are experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks, it is the League’s intention to continue its current fixture schedule where safely possible.

"Manchester United continues to have an ongoing COVID-19 outbreak within their squad, which has left them unable to field a team for the match at Old Trafford.

"The Premier League Board assesses applications to postpone matches on a case-by-case basis, based on existing rules and COVID-19 postponement guidance issued to all clubs."
