Currently we may be the only game playing. 7/12 games are cancelled: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55470632

I think we need a reset. We've hade to play through players having covid, other teams are getting their games called off.

Fans' Brief .... club website.

Oxford manager Karl Robinson looks ahead to the game .... Oxford club website.

“It’s not going to be easy, not least because they are in Tier 2 and can still have fans in. We have seen at our own games what a positive effect that can have and how fans can influence the games so we will be aware of that but at the same time it’s great to play games where there are fans, whoever they support."

Any other ST holders have the 'subscribe now' button showing, instead of the normal 'you already have access to this match'?

Let's hope the Oxford goalie doesn't have such a good game as he did on Saturday!!

The Hux is now the ref. He's been ok in recent games, especially when compared to a few years ago.

I reckon those attending tonight should make the most of it as I don’t think any fans are going to be setting foot in Home Park for quite a while after tonight’s game.

Exactly! The new tier levels are announced tomorrow and Plymouth is likely to be placed in tier 3 meaning no fans for the Gillingham game.

Think this will be the last game i attend for the season as we going further and further backwards in this country.

Shocking really and annoying but not Argyles fault. The clowns at the number 10 dont have a clue

Who does in this world other than the Chinese, who SEEM to have brought pandemic order to their population on the end of an automatic weapon. Personally, I do not want to see that form of pandemic security on the streets of Plymouth or Newquay.

The "clowns" who don't follow the rules on social distancing, travel etc are more to blame. Probably the same clowns who complain when their tier is increased then moan that the virus is spreading!

Anyway, I agree about this likely being the last time fans will get in for a while. The way the virus seems to be affecting so many clubs now I wouldn't be surprised to see the season paused for a while at some point as well. This new strain is a huge problem and eventually a country-wide full lockdown will probably be required to arrest the spread.

I agree. It's the "clowns", although I don't find it one bit funny, who are to blame not the Government. It's just like normal up here in Wales with people just ignoring advice. God help the situation once they all party on New Year's Eve...

There's pubs in Cornwall closing the doors after the irresponsible behaviour of people coming down from Tier 3 / 4 areas, staff getting grief from people who shouldn't even be there after they've been asked to leave. It's that type of clown that messes things up for everyone and forces Football to close the doors or stop again. Even the most able Government would struggle to plait sh8t.

Ah yes not the Government's fault at all for screwing up test and trace, reacting too slowly, giving mixed messages, allowing senior Government figures to break the rules, underfund the NHS for years, not having enough PPE etc etc.
