Heard different stories on whether we are/aren’t testing Edited 12 March 2020 by st albans fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniFox21 Posted 12 March 2020 Share Posted 12 March 2020 Genuinely our country is run by idiots. We have 3 self isolating, Arsenal have been all week, B Mendy of Man City has. Ridiculous decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_Loyal Posted 12 March 2020 Share Posted 12 March 2020 Absolutely mental. Although I'd imagine if any of them come back as positive our game will be postponed? Either way teams are losing players and they're still expected to play. I ****ing hate the FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted 12 March 2020 Share Posted 12 March 2020 I’m shocked they aren’t putting precautions in place for this weekend matches. The advice is that open air events are less dangerous than watching it in the pub, but what about the concourses? What about people buying and consuming food and drink in a congested indoor environment? Surely it’s a no-brainer, if these events are to go ahead with fans, to close all stalls in the concourses and have the stewards ensure fans aren’t congregating in there. The staff that would have worked the stalls could stand by the entrances/exits with hand sanitizer to try and limit any spread. Relatively easy to organise and is going to only help preventing the spread of the virus. It just astounds that around the world most sporting events are suspended, but in this country we aren’t even putting in place basic preventative measures.

No but given they'd come in to contact with the owner of a club they played who had contracted the disease. For what it's worth I think the game should be called off.

dylanlegend Posted 12 March 2020 Share Posted 12 March 2020 It’s a numbers game. The govt want to reduce the risk to the economy more than anything. in reality, we should switch the world off for 6 months but it’s impossible. Who prepares the food? Who looks after the vulnerable? What happens with hospital workers? Fair play to China they have suppressed this. Every country should follow their lead and unite but it seems every country is vying to look after themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 12 March 2020 Share Posted 12 March 2020 It’s beyond pathetic that our Government are advising we go on as normal. Complete **** nuggets. Just suspend the league for two weeks and then see where we are, in that time develop a contingency plan in the event of it proceeding the two weeks. Like I said, no one goes down, and no one goes up..... but then again is public health more important than money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s one whole team now isolated for 14 days - other playing staff will likely test positive also. It’s finished for the time being it has to be.
