Interesting that all games have been given the go ahead for this weekend, but then some of the sides taking part may not be able to play either side of these fixtures

There’s one game I think where one of these “non elite” sides are guaranteed to win? Strange for them because are they then allowed to train twice a week until the next round?

Walsall vs Rovers??

No, seriously, you are correct - Banbury vs Canvey Island, but I have no idea as to the answer to your question.

Really poor journalism and unprofessional by the BBC. FC United of Manchester are playing Doncaster UNITED.

A.F.C. Wimbledon have Covid and can call off the tie till another date, whilst all through the tournament any club with Covid has been eliminated. 
Is it a case of one rule for league sides and another for non league sides.

Didn`t Leyton Orient get to postpone a game for the same reason or did I imagine that?

The rules were written that from the first round onwards a side could postpone ONE fixture due to the virus

This was written into the rules weeks ago, and as before all clubs are aware of

But how is that fair on lower league clubs, why not every club can postpone 1 fixture. As I said one rule for league sides and one for non league.
