Doncaster match off
 

Covid at Doncaster

Re: Doncaster match off
 

Just heard this from a relative of a Doncaster player - gutted :(

Re: Doncaster match off
 

Games are piling up everywhere now....... :(

Re: Doncaster match off
 

Well with 75% of games to be played before PPG can be used can see either short break or season voided happening nowt no surer.

Re: Doncaster match off
 

There are after today 133 days left to official end of season after today's postponement Stanley have 30 league games to fit in and a possible 5 cup games. To fit all 35 in if still in cup that's a game every 3.8 days reaching a decisive point for EFL to make a decision.

Re: Doncaster match off
 

Now down to 30 league games in 127 days one every 4.2 days .

Re: Doncaster match off
 

That means without any cup games or bad weather postponement,s, or further Covid cancellation,s playing every Saturday, Tuesday until the end of the season.

Re: Doncaster match off
 

Playing twice a week is more than doable, but I do not think I am the only one to think that more games could be called off.......... :(

Would not want to see anything voided, as that would mean so many things lost, like goals, appearances, Etc. (I think??)

Will have to just wait and see....

Would think that Rochdale v Crewe could be in doubt Tuesday if that goes that will be six out of twelve again.

Re: Doncaster match off
 

Fleetwood v Doncaster must also be in doubt that could be seven.

I'm sure this has been posted elsewhere but can't find it. I can't help thinking that clubs and players do themselves no favours by huddling together before kick off, hugging and shaking hands when goals are scored and offering congratulations at the end of games. Surely there needs to be some restraint shown?

It is not surprising that the virus transmits between the players! Watching televised matches at all levels the players are still jumping all over each other, hugging and shaking hands, as are the coaches and other staff at the end of matches. If we did that on the streets and in the shops we would get fined! Whilst football and rugby are rightfully classed as contact sports most of the actual contact really happens in the ‘celebrations’ of scoring goals or points! Much tighter control is needed if teams are to reduce the incidence of cross infection. I haven’t hugged my two daughters or my two grandsons for nine months now! Surely the players can exercise some control and reduce the risks!

Re: Doncaster match off
 

Yep, they called it off about 11 o'clock this morning - let's hope Portsmouth game goes ahead on 2nd but not holding my breath
