No point in speculating until we know what the procedures are for the National league.we may be classed as elite but seem to be treated diferently. Just cancel the whole season can't be any problems then. too many games cancelled already .

Have to agree. Irrespective of how people feel about other business's being open or closed, football at this level can't be essential.

All Clubs are 100% dependent upon all other Clubs adhering to the rules and knowing 100% that nobody has tested positive, otherwise it's a waste of time.

Unless they are independently tested at least on a weekly basis, nobody will ever know.

Unless someone else pays for the testing, I can't see that happening.

Surely, it must be that the other players and staff have not been tested....or not tested within the correct timeframes (?).
If no one has been in contact with Jones since the 22nd, that's now 20 days ago, so if the remaining staff have a negative test now, they must be clear to play...or am I missing something.......... don't see why the Alty game would be off

Agree. I think there's more to this than we've been told so far......makes no sense to postpone this match which would be three weeks after the last contact Jones has had with anyone at the club!!.....Either this ISN'T true or the players are not getting tested regularly and therefore no matches should be taking place!...all in all the whole thing is a farce and surely football at our level should be put on hold NOW

......and as for Estate Agents etc still being open, then what on earth is the point of Johnson spouting on about a National lockdown?!! School classes are still around 50% of normal pupil size, public transport/London underground is heaving, 75% of shops are still open, its a complete joke, either lockdown everything but the absolutely essential or dont bother with a lockdown at all!

I'm sure that the very much needed tougher restrictions will be brought in soon. We can't keep going on like this.

Exactly....totally agree....the list in another thread of the businesses open is a joke.
It isn't any wonder people are sceptical about it.
For every story of how bad it is theres another that contradicts it.
Maybe the testing of all players and staff hasn't happened because.....the result maybe not what some people wanna hear.....
