So disappointing, I really was looking forward to watching this one.

The season can’t continue. Take the top three point per game records and promote them, pick a new season back up again in summer. 

The season will finish

I have no idea where football can go from here. I suppose they will have to do daily tests therefore ones on the day cannot really be avoided. From 10 Championship games today, 8 are off.

I don't think a circuit break works because that relies on Covid not being prevalent once the season restarts. The current system of playing as much as possible seems pointless when so many games are being called off, when can they be replayed? Unfair on fans potentially calling games off so late too. You can't do points per game as it is far too early to justify that. And to null and void the season would seem crazy too, unless the alternative is behind closed doors rubbish. There is no answer that I can see.

Wouldn't surprise at all...and the Hudds game too!

[neophox]

Everyone Will get covid anyway...

Dacks words: Shambles

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

There has to be consequences for this. There won't be though 

[neophox]

Is it worse than the flu if you are vaccinated?

Behind closed doors I'd wager. 

Imagine our best season for over a decade and it gets cancelled 

[cesus]

Change will only happen when the TV channels start kicking off when they keep losing their live content. At the moment only the fans are pissed off so the leagues have nothing to be worried about.

no,this new variant is just like a bad cold,runny nose and you feel slightly unwell,it appears the virus has become less dangerous but more virelant,it is however lethal to footballers,politicians and journalists😉

Where do you get the idea from that the EFL or Premier league give a flying F*** about supporters

Thats my point he.n. Get the proper people in to make the right decisions. This season to continue like it is without proper rules in place is a disgrace on football authorities.

Behind closed doors would not solve the problem in that it is players getting covid so much that is causing the cancellations.

Hull took lateral flow tests at 12:30.

 

Pathetic

Absolutely unacceptable that Hull put a process in place where they can jepordise the game so close to kick off.

As others have said, testing should have been done yesterday.

Hull fans on Twitter saying they've already tried to have the game called off previously. The cynic in me is thinking Hull have done this deliberately.

[neophox]

IF you are vaccinated you Will probably get it anyway as a minor flu or just some symptoms.....

[rigger]

 I got to the M62, My nephew phoned to say the game is off. Bugger, I was looking forward to being second !

So IF you have players with the flu you Will have to play... shambolic

[windymiller7]

Well that was fun!! Horrendous driving conditions going over the tops on the 62, starts to clear a bit around Leeds & my daughter informs me of the latest tweet from Rovers! You absolute fecking ham shankers! 

Off at the next junction & back home again! I'm absolutely livid, can only imagine how the fans who were already there feel. Will we be compensated? Will we shite! It's a disgrace.

As others have said, I'm not exactly convinced by the results of the LFTs coming out of Hull. Nowt to stop the same bloke taking 10 tests to make sure it's called off if you're without a couple of key players.

Fuming!

Would there be anything to stop a team submitting more positive tests then there really were? Let’s say they were down to 14 fit and knew they were weakened. Send same players positive test in several times, bumping up the numbers. 

The tests have serial numbers, but it would be easy to cheat.

Hull offer an apology.

Thats nowhere near enough. Those travelling fans deserve proper compensation at the very least.

Trivial words as always, lay on free coaches for away fans etc etc, actually make amends, tossers.

[arbitro]

Just back home after turning round at Huddersfield. I can't quite understand a process which is far more detrimental than it is helpful. Who on earth allows the testing regime to be left so late that it leaves thousands of people frustrated and out of pocket? Ian absolute nonsense and the people who bear the brunt of this are the fans. It has been clear for some time now that the authorities couldn't care less about the fans and this farce just reinforces that view. The late postponements have had an effect on hundreds of thousands of fans recently and still clubs are allowed to test their players too late to prevent supporters travelling unnecessarily.

The footballing authorities in this country are a disgrace and absolutely not fit for purpose.

Awful, really feel for fans that have lost a huge chunk of Boxing Day on the road for nothing 

Be keen to know if these are all confirmed cases / isolating or if embellished by ‘injuries’ like Everton 

Gut feeling is a few players missing and then flesh it out to avoid having to play with a weakened team 

No sympathy.  If people are willing to give up their free time to watch a football game that's their loss

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Preston's game already called off this Thursday, we knew Hull's coach had tested positive, an absolute two fingers to fans.
