4 games off this weekend in League One due to Covid-19 infiltrating football club 'bubbles'.

This doesn't bode well for the season I think we're lucky there's not been too many called off due to weather so far but there could be some pile up of fixtures if this is what we are to expect every week. I know there's been talking of a football circuit breaker. I'm not sure how that would work.

Poll: What are we more excited for?

Paul Lambert at Ipswich certainly isn't happy with the EFL testing programme.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55413489

Giving the increase of transmission of the new variant and what seems like an inevitable further lockdown in January due to this and the Christmas spike that will follow, I can quite easily see leagues one and two not completing the season again.

Poll: Now the club has refused to move on sesaon ticket prices what will you now do?

Given this possibility, it's absolutely essential we keep our necks above the bottom four

There's no knowing if or when the season might end, but we need to give ourselves the best chance of staying in L1 by adapting our game in an entirely pragmatic manner

Why do they not put the season on hold for a month until the end of January. It can easily be extended forward a month as it’s not like we will be going on a summer holiday in June does it..

That's a bit like asking why they don't have a winter break in January.

There's no knowing when the worst of it will come.

Undoubted knowledge? Or just the application of common sense and using my brain?

And right on cue another "super" strain of the virus, 501.v2, pops up from South Africa to p*ss on our chips even more.

Euro 2020 is due to be played in June isn't it followed by the delayed Olympics.

Not that that should stop the lower leagues continuing to play.

I hope the vaccines work quickly enough or I can see a real problem with the big summer tournaments that may still need to be held behind closed doors

It won't matter how quick/slow the vaccine works, they'll never get near to rolling it out in time for this summer,

If they give people single shots there's a better chance. Saw a report saying a single = 91% and double = 95% effectiveness. Calls to dish singles out to all front line workers and the more vulnerable and if that still works, a follow up asap.

I'm sure there are scientists looking at the possibilities of single-dose options, but as things stand, the vaccines are licensed only for double-dose use

Worth remembering also, that not everyone needs to be vaccinated before the tiers can start being downscaled - just those most at risk of becoming seriously ill

Once a second and third vaccine comes onstream (Moderna, AstraZeneca) the options are further extended and by that point the distribution network will be much more widespread. In particular, the storage requirements that currently hinder the Biontech vaccine won't apply to AstraZeneca

There's been remarkably few postponements considering. I reckon they'll do anything to avoid stopping the season again. It'll take a full on lockdown.

Indeed, the cavalry is coming but the indians just got faster. Didn't realise the license deal implications, but if all the doses of Pfizer have been injected into arms here and there are no second doses available at that time .............

Having said that, I'm aware of US and UK approval, but globally, less competition at present for more doses if available

The indians, if the study of viral mutation shows anything, may get faster but also weaker, i.e. less likely to cause severe illness

I'm quietly confident we'll be out of the woods and into the pubs by late Spring, if not before

Absolutely and fingers crossed,but at the current vaccination rate of around 137k a week,approx 19,500 a day it will take a good while to become anywhere near useful, whilst not everyone may need/require a vaccine I'd be more than surprised they'd consider relaxing tiers knowing the majority of the country have the capability to contract and infect everyone else still.

Just to get back to my?.. if they did announce we are “non elite” (other posts aside 🤣)..

If the “Government (HanCOCk) sorry”, said it’s all over for League 1, based on last seasons methodology would we stay up?

At this moment in time we would, because three of the teams below us have played one more game and the other have played the same games but have less points!

Confirmed by Blackpool:

https://www.blackpoolfc.co.uk/news/2020/december/rochdale-match-postponed/

Possibly only one player has the virus, but the others can't play due to the self-isolation requirement.

A pity the match is off, but maybe there'll be more time for injured players to recover (and possibly a strengthening of the squad when the transfer window reopens).

Dale and Blackpool released the story simultaneously.
