I would be interested to know if clubs have to submit proof of players positive Covid test to the EFL.

Feeling very rough after the booster yesterday so ironically might not have gone because of that

Someone’s posted on the stoke local rag that stoke city players went to London at the weekend on their Xmas party.

if I was the f.a. And found that to be true i’d make them play the u18’s.

This is what winds me up. Still, karma gets you in the end. Rotherham were loving their 7 games in hand.

Ffs ...this was inevitable.

Same here had my booster yesterday and feel rough today.

Derby game in doubt also, Rooney says no players available on the bench and his whole medical staff have Covid.

Did Norwich ask for postponements during their injury crisis?

 

[Skybluebeliever]

Very good chance this will be postponed , we seemed to have contained but think under 23s have been affected but they are based at Higgs

Derby game off

 

[Skyblueweeman]

I can honestly see very little football between now and the new year. I reckon they'll put a 2 week window in place with no fixtures.

Derby game off

4 games in Championship, 2 in league one and 3 in league two at the moment.

Great, n Hotel can't be cancelled as of yesterday

From Stoke's Oatcake forum: Their players went to London for a Xmas 'bash'. In which case, how f&cking stupid (and not our fault!..................


'Ouch, it's at our end? Didn't our lot go down to London at the weekend just gone for their Christmas do?

I wonder if 6 is the best case scenario?'

 

[Offhegoes]

Official CCFC site had the headline that game might be postponed, and now it's been taken down

 

[Evo1883]

It is what it is at this point

If true it would be laughable for the Football League to call it off without punishing Stoke,

In Scotland when one Celtic player broke the rules by travelling to Spain the government got involved

That’s only an update to the EFL guidance on Covid. No confirmation on game being postponed yet.

Well I will just assume its going to be postponed and its a bonus if its on

 

[David O'Day]

What were the covid agreements the clubs all signed up to? It's not the breaking off Government laws but EFL rules I'd look at

No rules broken as far as I can see

Possibly not sure but alot of things have relaxed since last year so maybe not the case now

The relevant passage

In the wake of recent EFL fixture postponements due to COVID-19 cases at Clubs, the EFL has also provided guidance on non-fulfilment of fixtures, confirming that Clubs will be expected to play where it has 14 players including a goalkeeper available from the Club’s registered squad list, Under 21 players not on the squad list but have played one League match, or any other contracted player not on the squad list but otherwise would have been eligible to play. The EFL will assist Clubs in their deliberations.
