Hampshire Red Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Staying with official virus updates. BBC says this morning neither Forest nor EFL can confirm if their future games will be played. Seems to me like season could be delayed or cancelled, OR could one club (Forest) just be suspended mid seasin-dunno Either way Saturday could be our last trip for a while.

Norn Iron Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 If they do postpone the season, I suggest Stoke City at home (April 18th) as the re-commencement date. The fact that I've already bought my air fares and City tickets is a coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchay Red Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 6 minutes ago, Drew Peacock said: Forest players and staff have all tested negative. Not sure how reliable one test is. This is from Cycling News website today: The Gazprom-RusVelo team have confirmed that Dmitry Strakhov has tested positive for the coronavirus Covid-19 in the United Arab Emirates after undergoing a fifth test. Strakhov said he is in good health but is in hospital. He is the first rider to be named as positive after the UAE Tour was cut short and all riders and staff on the race were held in hotels during testing.

MarcusX Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 1 hour ago, Loosey Boy said: Me too - think their games could well be off for a few weeks For what reason? Was discussed yesterday and I thought they all tested negative? edit I see others already posted this. I can’t see one team having issues it’ll be all teams or nothing. Forest fans aren’t likely to be at any greater risk than anyone else unless they came into contact with the owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Peacock Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 7 minutes ago, Drew Peacock said: Forest players and staff have all tested negative. I thought this thread was about the risk to Forest players causing their games specifically being postponed, rather than the general situation. That was the point of my post. If they have tested negative there is no reason to postpone. Whether it is behind closed doors is a separate question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 If the Forest players have tested negative then it’s not about players, it’s about crowds. So no reason our game specifically would be targeted. We’ll know later this morning, after the governments cobra meeting, whether a more general ban on all games will be imposed. BBC news this morning suggested that was unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did install hand washing stations Though we still have to put up with cold water and cold air which encourages nobody to be hygenic. I do think that outdoor gatherings might be a bit safer than indoor ones though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
