Stoke have five key players out injured, I don’t believe they are Covid related?

It would be odd for the club to announce a match day offer if they knew a cancellation were imminent

It's Stoke who are pushing for the cancellation. Until it is approved by the EFL I guess it's business as usual for our media team.

Do they have 14 fit players? If so should be game on

Doubt the EFL will say no. Wouldn't be a good look to refuse it.

Don't know tbh. I just wildly speculated with no knowledge of the rules.

Apologies.

Not sure what the rules are with covid cancellations. Looking at the premier league for example Leicester were refused a cancellation until today despite asking for one earlier this week. It’s only because they’ve had more cases this morning that it’s finally been cancelled.

They played QPR at Loftus Rd on 5th December
QPR have had a major Covid outbreak since then and closed their training ground
I heard Stoke have half a dozen unavailable due to Covid
If they're saying they caught it at QPR I guess the EFL will find it difficult to refuse to postpone our game

Would look great if they said now and there was then a load more cases in the two teams involved.

The UEFA and EPL guidelines are if there are 14 fit senior players then the game should go ahead. While it's now been called off due to even more cases the EPL said no to calling off the Leicester vs. Spurs game when Leicester had 9 players out.

Disappointed if true but at the same time, I woke up this morning with small doubts about going, mainly because catching it there is probable and that would mean a very shit Christmas. If any positive can be taken from it not going ahead, a couple of hundred of people are likely to have a much better Christmas.

1) How can they say where they caught it? If they can they need to get in touch with Health Security England to tell them how

2) As I said the EPL has said no to Leicester when they presented 9 cases.

It will probably be called off but the league has rules and it really should stick to them

My lad will be happy as he can’t go as he has covid, but if it goes to midweek I might struggle to get the night off.

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.

So that could be two games postponed now.

Stoke clearly have injuries, bit like QPR.

Yep, the most wonderful time of the year and the world has kicked us to our knees and slit our throats once again.

Fuck it, December should be pushed back to March and we start Xmas again.
