This Saturday game at Accrington is off because of recent positive COVID-19 tests
BBC website and Only1argyle Twitter account have the details

going to be huge fixture backlogs this season if it is completed,i feel if you have a squad you should play the matches even if you have to put the "kids" in.

As expected.

The isolation period for the Swindon players should finish on Monday so hopefully our game against them on Tuesday 3 November goes ahead.

Probably a blessing in disguise as it gets Argyle off the Saturday/Tuesday merry-go-round and they don't have another long trip up North again this week after trips to Lincoln and Wigan last week.

Should also help with player recovery from bumps and bruises, etc.

However, the Argyle Coach driver is going to miss out on his Green Shield stamps this week when he would have filled up the tank for another long old jant.

Trouble is this could well become a midweek game in height of winter.

only fair for the integrity of the division to let teams hit with covid to postpone games and not force youth teams playing, in my humble opinion

PL2 3DQ · Oct 27, 2020

The next free Tuesday for both clubs is in December or if both clubs are knocked out of the FA Cup it could be played on Saturday 28 November.
Accrington are away to Tranmere in the first round.

As Andrew Parkinson mentioned on the fans forum there could be some games played on Thursday's later in the season.

Don't they give out Green Shield stamps in the middle of Winter?

demportdave · Oct 27, 2020

But will he get them in time for Christmas?

Keepitgreen · Oct 27, 2020

They've just released a statement saying that a total of 19 players and staff have tested positive.

Not sure about the Club (Accrington) not saying what Staff are positive, what if others have been in contact with them. The track and trace isn't 100%
