Due to the Covid-19 cases in the squad, Saturday's trip to Walsall has been postponed.
As if we didn't guess already...

The EFL will now decide what they wish they rules had been and punish us accordingly

As long as Government and/or EFL guidelines were followed together with a doctors letter then we shouldn't be punished at all, methinks.

Wonder what sanctions will be imposed. Travis, Teague, Ling Snr & Embleton will be forced to isolate themselves for 14 days and then be required to download HM Givernmemts new “ track and trace “ app to enable them to be tested three times a day on a mandatory basis for a period not exceeding 6 months or the length of the pandemic whichever is the greater. |

COVID is outside the clubs control. No punishment. Just rearranged. so does that apply to the Cup games vs Spurs? |

I'm not 100% on this but I'm pretty sure that I heard that these games can't be rearranged because of fixture congestion in the cup competition, or something like that. So, If we'd had a snow postponement that affected the Spurs match, and lets say it lasted for two weeks, they would've rearranged that game wouldn't they? Or would it be a coin toss or something as to who goes through to the next round. Spurs would want to go through to blood a lot of their youngsters against Chelsea youngsters and hopefully all the way to Wembley, so I never expected a gimme from them. |

I think you're right, Dohnut, but if the system wants to set an example it's the 'reasonably foreseen' bit that worries me. Doesn't apply to the Caribou as far as I can tell as these are EFL rules. |

If the club takes all reasonable steps to create documented guidelines, make sure staff and players have copies and are aware and the club do what they can to police them, taking prompt appropriate action should issues arise then the club will been seen as following due diligence. There will be no punishment. the appropriate action is the grey area. Plenty of scope for subjective opinions. Wriggle room. Get out of jail free stuff. my local football club allow spectators, usual attendance 150 people. I assume that is within current requirements. On their website is a fully documented risk analysis for players and spectators, identifying various risks as low to medium and making requirements very clear in order to make watching/playing as safe as possible. I was impressed. Very clear, very professional. |

Now I’m confused. On.Tv it was reported that 3 Stevenage players have tested positive but the game was allowed to continue as the EFL were satisfied all protocols had been followed. So why were our and Grimsbys games abandoned? Grimsby has 1 player positive as I understand it.

Maybe so, but what the staff (players included) get up to in their private life is out of the clubs control. Someone could of caught it off of the groundsman at the training ground for example. I don't see how the Football League can punish any club unless they are found blatantly irresponsible by ignoring the rules. I think everyone (including the Football League) should except the fact that it could/will be a disruptive season and until we find a vaccine or a decent herd immunity then carry on the best we can. |
