AFCW players hit with Covid 19, so their match with Barrow has been postponed.

Don't they have to forfeit?

Don't they have to forfeit?

That was my understanding too, the FA seem to be making things up as they go along !

Surely not?!

 

[Greyhound]

Flyde will be no mugs!!

Definitely not. Jim Bentley knows all about us, and they'll have watched us up at Morecambe.

If only on TV!

Think rules are different for qualifying and proper rounds here.

11d - re. forfeit was just for Qualifying Competition.

now under rule 11h.
If the competing Clubs are not able to play the match at the ground of the Home Club on the default date as specified in Rule 11(f) or (g), due to COVID-19 or for any other reason, the match shall be played as directed by the Professional Game Board and the Professional Game Board shall take such action as it deems appropriate (in its absolute discretion).

As CB says they can make it up as they go along

Some crazy results. Brackley blow a 3 goal lead and Borehamwood a 2 goal one. Both now in ET. Woking blow a 2 goal lead at gillingham and lost.

A few shocks today, ie Swindon loosing at home to Darlington and Sunderland also loosing at home to Mansfield! The Black Cats will not be happy.
Oh almost forgot, Grimsby loosing to Daggers - tears Les?
