    Really bad luck with the timing, and now we're going to be playing catch-up with the next two league games off.

    Hopefully we'll be able to reschedule at least one of the games in November as it looks like we have free midweeks on Nov. 17/24 (I assume we'll have to keep one free in case of an FA Trophy replay - though if ever there was a season to go out at the first round stage, it's this one).
    The FA Trophy ties should be just finished on the day to avoid further fixture congestion.

    This is insane.

    "West Ham fans can watch their team play Man City in a cinema just 500 METRES (a 12-minute walk!) from the London Stadium on Saturday in a move branded 'utter nonsense' by the Football Foundation as crowds continue to be locked out"

    Whatever we think about Ardley as a manager, he's a decent, caring and intelligent person. The Notts players are in good hands with our current manager, CEo and owners.

    This is a fascinating interview. Two things stood out for me:

    1. NA says he’s 90% sure Notts’ Patient Zero got COVID during a game (presumably either Altrincham or Barnet, based on how he talked). Other teams choosing not to test are being willfully ignorant, in his eyes.

    2. One of the Notts players who tested positive lost his nan to COVID in March, so that’s a horrible double-whammy. Sounds like a few of the players have it worse than others. Personally, knowing hitherto fit people who have had COVID and are still suffering six months later with long COVID, I won’t be surprised to hear about similar cases affecting footballers as the season progresses.
