Knowing the Football League they'll transfer points from us to Chef Wendy.ForeverAddickted said:Knowing the EFL it will be us who get the docked points10 -
There seems to be a slight conflict between the football specific procedures, with access to testing that the rest of us can't get, and the government self isolation rules. It was confusing how Chuks could test positive without the whole squad needing to self isolate, ditto the situation where Deji needing to self isolate, despite not having the virus (and how were the rest of the squad not in close contact with Levitt?)

I assumed (or maybe it was confirmed can't remember) that the players had stayed in a hotel for Burton and Oshilaja had shared a room with Levittkillerandflash said:There seems to be a slight conflict between the football specific procedures, with access to testing that the rest of us can't get, and the government self isolation rules.

But then Deji was on the bench for the Burton game, so when did Levitt feel unwell as he wasn't in the match squad for that game?MattF said:

From the SLP at the time ' “He was away with us but he was ill and got sent home,” said Charlton manager Lee Bowyer. “He had a bit of a temperature and when someone has that now then they get sent home.'killerandflash said:

Not really sure what that means in terms of when he would've come into close contact with anyone as surely more than one person would've ended up isolating if they'd already travelled

Presume it reflects the dressing room, sitting on alternate spaces, you’d still come into ‘close contact’ with at least 1 other teammate who is within 6 feet of you for over 15 minutes (the definition of ‘close contact’). Arguably playing they don’t come into close contact with anyone based on the time element0

How is the league table looking on a points per game basis?1

Yes, a lot depends on the testing days, but much of the time the results will come back within 24 hours of a match.PragueAddick said:
So is it standard that they are all tested befor each game? If so that needs to be done so that results come back at least 24 hours before each game, not lesst to avoid the situation you’ve described.Sage said:The only other way is that they had already travelled. Then they got the results from their last test when they’re in London, and because they’ve all been together, the players can’t play so down to 16 in the squad. Then others have to self isolate so in theory, may not have had enough to play the game.
West Ham, for example, had got their results back around an hour and a half before kick-off a couple
of months ago. That’s when Moyes and others had to be sent home.
The testing and procedure of it all needs to be clearer and more straightforward. They have more access to testing than anyone, so why can’t they get results quicker?0 -

So if we lost, we would not be in the top 6 in a PPG league table. Still, I think after scoring 5, we would have been buzzing but with Charlton, you just do not know.0

It'll be interesting if Sunderland play on Saturday. The Rovers case does sound quite genuine, the training ground will be shut until Christmas Eve0 -

As mentioned in the article; Tisdale made absolutely no mention of it in his press conference on Monday

Sunderland have postponed their next 3 games0

Wimbledon may be a bit worried as well as any team playing them. It might be safer if their next game was postponed too whilst the situation is monitored.0

Is Plymouth definitely behind closed doors?I am 99% certain it is but I have gotten so confused as to what we can and can’t do and when things will be changing or not changing.0

The five days of Christmas allowance is for families to meet up etc. not to attend sporting events0 -
Peterborough has moved to Tier 3, so no home fans for when we play there either2

Thanks, if London is still in Tier3 then it’s behind closed doors.ForeverAddickted said:

Was just musing how some teams now have a slight advantage being in tier 2 & having fans into the ground to the majority of teams being in tier 3. Just checking League 1 & I think only 6 teams are in tier 2; Swindon being one of them. So we go there on Saturday & they have 2k cheering them on, but when we entertain Plymouth a week later we can't have that home "advantage" anymore.
Level playing field......not anymore it is.

Could argue that wasnt the case when Charlton were in T2 though and Gillingham in T3 for example...golfaddick said:Was just musing how some teams now have a slight advantage being in tier 2 & having fans into the ground to the majority of teams being in tier 3.

It made me smile the other day when Frank Lampard was saying that T3 fans should be allowed to attend games, what with Chelsea now in a T3 area
Funnily he didnt seem too bothered about it before then did he?3 -

What's the deal with masks in London. ? Saw pictures of Regent Street packed and hardly anyone wearing masks. Is it not mandated? It is over here in Massachusetts0
