As we all know Covid and its variant is spreading at pace around the country, affecting society in every way.
Professional football is no exception and yet with all the precautions, players, staff and families are also now being affected.
From the Premiership down match fixtures are being postponed in large numbers.
I think there will need to be an enforced 'circuit-breaker' temporary shutdown sooner rather than later.
Any thoughts?
Look at the matches called off in league one recently. If the premier league with their amounts of money are having trouble trying to contain it then what chance do lower league clubs with less resources?
If you remember at the fans forum there was a fear if Argyle didn’t play their games, even when they had Covid-19 positive tests back, that there could be repercussions.
So Argyle now sit in league one having done all the right protocols. Except there are teams with games in hand over us who now have the advantage of the January transfer window with these games in hand.
Another issue is the length of the season. Argyle were worried about a backlog of games. Teams would be at a disadvantage with fixture pile ups. However, l fully expect because of the sheer volume of clubs affected over the coming weeks with Covid-19 that the season will be extended. Again, taking Argyle’s advantage away by making sure they fulfilled their fixtures.
We benefited last season. I think this season might see us on the other side of it.
