Pasquale for King Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) I don’t think there should be fans in grounds at the minute, but you can understand the frustration of all sports when you see crowds in stadiums in other countries experiencing the same second wave. The U.K. government should be financially helping out all businesses, including sport, as they already have with the loan to Rugby League clubs. https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2020/lfp-confirms-imminent-receipt-of-e224-5m-loan-from-the-french-government-to-support-clubs-following-league-cancellation/ https://www.theguardian.com/media/2002/apr/05/broadcasting.football Edited October 2, 2020 by Pasquale for King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't particularly hate Killie or Motherwell so I can feel a bit neutral. As long as it is worst possible outcome for the league and the powers that be. Postponement causes the most chaos in my opinion. Thing is though if they do postpone it will set a precedent. There will be plenty more postponements especially going into the winter months so my guess is they will be desperately trying to make sure this game goes ahead. Despite the risks and moral obligation they should have to look out for both clubs interests. We all know how good they are at that. A blind man running for his life can see that the game has to be postponed. They let the St Mirren game go ahead with zero goalkeepers available though so 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or before a semi final or final? Could happen across most leagues at any point To any team Tbh, epl has had issues as well. It's only going to get worse.

Which it will... It will happen for some games.

That it would be worse to get a positive test for someone with symptoms as anyone can get. Outside football. In that case training with anyone would mean everyone would need to self isolate. Same as if you had been in a pub or restaurant that collected contact details. That is different to what has been agreed for football teams testing. So far until today only those testing positive have had to self isolate, not the whole squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ritchies75 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 SPFL STATEMENT KILMARNOCK V MOTHERWELL POSTPONED... The SPFL has today announced that this evening’s Premiership fixture between Kilmarnock and Motherwell at Rugby Park has been postponed. On 29 September, Kilmarnock FC carried out routine swab tests on their first team squad of players in advance of the fixture this evening. This disclosed three players who tested positive for Covid-19. These positive results were subsequently confirmed by NHS Scotland. On 1 October, Kilmarnock FC retested all of its remaining first team players. The results have disclosed a further three first team squad players who have tested positive for Covid-19. A meeting led by NHS Ayrshire and Arran Public Health was held this morning, including representatives from Kilmarnock FC, the Scottish Government, Public Health Scotland and the Scottish FA. NHS Ayrshire & Arran Test and Protect Team carried out COVID-19 contact tracing following the six confirmed positive tests at the club. As a result, Kilmarnock FC has been advised by the local Problem Assessment Group that their whole first team playing squad require to immediately self-isolate. This is in order to minimise the risk of further cases in the player and other staff groups at the club, in the wider local community, and to support Test and Protect. Subsequently, Kilmarnock FC wrote to the SPFL indicating that they were not in a position to fulfil this evening’s scheduled fixture against Motherwell and the club requested a postponement of the fixture. The SPFL Board met this afternoon and has agreed to postpone the fixture whilst the position is investigated. An investigation will now be carried out by the SPFL to ascertain the circumstances leading to this postponement. A spokesman for the SPFL said: “No new date for this fixture has been set, pending the outcome of the SPFL investigation.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
