We know we’ve had it and Derby also
Think half of clubs in L1 have
Should have been a January break
Aston Villa latest with COVID in camp
Southampton and Shrewsbury postponed. I didn’t think they were doing postponements and one team would get a bye.
So very roughly 1 in 90 of the UK population has covid.
In football clubs with their supposed bubbles and enclosed society its much more common.
So their control measures don't work

Don’t know rules because they’re made up as they go along, won’t be surprised if Shrews have to forfeit because Southampton won’t want or won’t find a new date
Sky Sport - 2 days ago - might be a u-turn
"FA Cup: Clubs will not automatically forfeit ties if COVID-19 stops them fulfilling fixture"
If 14 players are availble club will have to play.
Decisions on case by case basis.

It’s the fact they’ve used the term postponed which suggests they’ll still play.
Orient didn’t get a postponement in the other cup. Spurs got the bye.
Villa are playing their academy players against Liverpool tonight.
