OVF feature: Football League schedule to continue “where safe to do so”

[News Feed]

The Football League have issued a statement ruling out a total break in the fixture list over the festive period.

Utter joke, already five matches in League 2 off, lot of the top teams not going to be playing, Sutton, Harrogate, Exeter, Swindon, Newport, Forest Green and Northampton all not playing.

Would have just made sense to have a 2 or 3 week break, you could have a team with 6 or 7 cases, maybe have 14 players able play and they are forced to play against a team with no cases.

What happens if you have a 2 or 3 week break and exactly that happens anyway?

I think you have to get the games that you can in when you can otherwise we could end up in a situation where it isn't possible to complete the season.

As a fan you can always choose not to go if you feel you are at risk. Maybe ifollow should be opened up to uk viewers again woth season ticket holders allowed to get a pass if their ticket isn't used.

You might be right and in a few weeks we could be in a similar situation but for me the integrity of the league is gone with how things are likely to be going, surely you can't enforce teams to play with 7 missing for COVID.  I would be annoyed if the likes of Northampton and Newport get an easy run against weakened teams when at full strength and we are forced to play with only 15 fit players.  I know we had lots of injured players but this is completely different.
