I thought.Hull had said all was well in their camp.  Bollox, ruined my day let's hope it does not kill our momentum|.  Feel bad for those travelling.

I feel for you.

Football doesn’t deserve you.

It is criminal that both clubs haven't kept the long suffering fans abreast of how near they were to calling the game off. 

The only negative impact of doing this would've been a lower attendance. So what? 

It shows a total disregard for the fans of both clubs. 

There hasn't been a single rumour on here over the last 2 days about possible cases, in either camp, never mind any announcements that Hull were close to the threshold. 

There must have been numerous cases and a number of PCR tests following positive LFD tests yesterday and Friday.

It was both club's professional and moral duty to keep fans informed of this. 

People have travelled from over 200 miles away for this game. 

Simple communication.

So sad. 

Whilst everybody will agree with you that the fans have been badly treated by the late announcement of the postponement how on earth are our club at fault ? Where is there a shred of evidence that we were informed of the situation at Hull ?

I was listening to Talksport about 2 hours ago, they gave me the distinct impression that

this game was going to be off, they only talked about the Boro v Forest game, they must have known something.

I’m a massive supporter of following the rules, self isolation and everything that comes with this awful pandemic, but it’s my opinion that some clubs are using this as an excuse for a mid winter break, at the expense of the fans.

hull were insistant on the game going ahead,most likely some jobsworth from the local council or police told them to call it off on elf and safety grounds,hull themselves are on a pretty good run,unlikely they wanted it cancelled

[glen9mullan]

I believe they have to lodge covid results with the EFL by 10a.m on the day of the game and present their case for a postponement. The EFl then meet at 12pm and go through each request case by case. Its stupid way of doing things given travelling supporters

More chance of Diaz getting 20 goals this season 😱😂

0-6 was 400 to 1 on bet365, so I reckon 0-18 would have been at least a hundred thousand to one.

Shocking behaviour by Hull, the EFL should be following the same procedures as the NFL in the USA, daily tests. At least Jerry Maguire would be happy.

Preston v WBA on Thursday has just been called off too, Covid in PNE camp.

100% you could see it from alot if clubs and individual personel as well. They fancied the break. This whinging every year about the fixture schedule. I don't even think it's that crazy anyway. You have a squad of 25, use it. "It's hard to perform at your maximum" Yadda Yadda. Most of you are making silly money and the managers are in that position for a reason, to manage the team! Do they think they have a right to filed there strongest 11 for 90 mins every game?

Absolute farce.

[matt83]

For all these teams allegedly with covid I’d be inclined to say even if your entire first xi squad has it tough shit play the kids (same goes if rovers call one off down the track). To me this all stinks of over paid lazy footballers wanting an Xmas break.

Mad that LF tests weren’t done earlier, with the EFL then able to make a decision before everyone set of for the stadium.

[simongarnerisgod]

it would`nt surprise me if barnsley suddenly had an omicron outbreak as well,they can`t be fancying playing us on wednesday night

An EFL decision at 12 noon on the day sums them up, there’s not a single thought for the fans. There’s no way anyone should be taking a LFT on the day of the match. They should be submitting test results to the EFL the day before the game and confirmation the game is going ahead at 5pm the day before.

I wonder if they did them on Christmas Day? Or was Covid given a day off at the expenses of the fans?

I don’t have the answers, but I do know the fans often don’t matter and it’s always been that way…

How on Earth can Rovers shoulder any of the blame for this? We were completely in the clear. This is on Hull.

Fair enough, but we don't know what has been communicated between the clubs.

Hull paper saying Hull players did tests at 10AM, results submitted half an hour after, EFL reviewed at 12 noon and called it off at 12:30.

Literally about to type the exact same thing. Then into a bubble, which isn't a big ask for a night and no tests on the day. If you are negative the night before a bubble should suffice. What a backward set up, but the whole thing has been like this, bizarre rules, contradictions and just "superior" people fcking everything up and showing zero respect to people or fans!

[Bad Boy]

Hull took lateral flow tests at 12:30.

 

Pathetic

[gumboots]

If you call a rugby match off for covid, you forfeit. Opposition get a 28-0 awarded ie max points

[Dumper Endean]

Fully agree with J*B, 5pm the day before the game should be the cut off and anything that develops after that the clubs have to cope with. My son is already in Hull and absolutely seething. Probably the highlight of Xmas for most of us, now completely and very unfairly ruined.

Absolute madness. At that rate who is gonna what commit to going to games when they are testing a couple of hours before games. It's stinks and could almost be seen as an intentional deterent, they don't want crowda but also don't want to impose the behind closed doors games again. Joke.

[Mike E]

All set up to watch it, and now I've got to watch Chitty Chitty fucking Bang Bang. Cheers Hull! 🤬
