One thing that needs to be sorted is the COVID testing shambles. I understand the league issued one dog eared page of guidance for clubs in the form of a flow chart.

It tells you what to do if you have players who test positive, but doesn't mandate clubs to test in the 1st place - So if you don't test you don't get positives. We have some clubs routinely testing and others not doing it at all?

Confirmed now that non-elite sport is suspended until at least December 2nd, including all those games in step 3 and below. www.skysports.com/football/news/12040/12122542/coronavirus-fa-announces-non-elite-football-in-england-to-be-suspended

Women's games are yet to be decided.

Still subject to a parliamentary vote, and then detailed guidance from Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, but FA guidance issued this morning confirms suspension of matches and training for Women's Football at Tiers 3-7 in the Women's Football Pyramid.

The Academy fixtures are similarly suspended, but may continue to train under the "School Sports" exemption.

However those below Step 3 that are still in the FA Cup are classed as elite until they are knocked out so they can continue to train and play in the FA Cup. Some common sense at least as earlier in the day they said they couldn't train. Would have been tough on those clubs.

scorpioeyes: I predicted a relegation struggle with a totally inexperienced manager. Hope I am wrong, but it doesn't look like it. MG is out of his depth,that's obvious. Sept 3, 2019 22:59:54 GMT

ggl: So are we now saying we have a manager who is not in favour of bringing in loan players and if the board decided to part company with him they cannot afford to do so ? Oct 23, 2019 8:21:42 GMT

historyboy: So sorry to hear about the passing of Eddie Clack. I Remember him well. Oct 24, 2019 17:13:12 GMT

historyboy: Sad to hear of the passing of Eddie Cack, I remember him well. I think that the said photograph publishsed by the club, of him sitting next to Dave Hermitage, isn't him at all; I think the picture shows Micky Goodall. Compare other pictures of both. Oct 24, 2019 17:27:34 GMT

scorpioeyes: It certainly would be 'convenient' for Dover to have the season washed out. if they fail to turn up tomorrow,we should be awarded the game and 3-0 to our goal difference.Why should we be inconvenienced by any attempts to rearrange the game? Feb 15, 2021 10:45:15 GMT

Burtie: Hello chaps. Is there any intelligence about the crowd situation for the game vs Hartlepool on 22 May? Does the club have a position on supporters? Apr 24, 2021 17:02:01 GMT

scorpioeyes: I think these odds are quite amazing. If I was a neutral looking at the recent form and upcoming fixtures,I'd make hartlepool or perhaps Torquay as fave for the title. To have 'pool at 9s and us as evens is bizarre. Apr 30, 2021 17:21:02 GMT

scorpioeyes: yes,'arrogant' is the right word. No objectivity allowed! May 8, 2021 12:10:13 GMT

valiant: Hello again! Can you tell me where the away seating is please? I thought it was behind the goal next to the away terrace but looking at the film on Quest I can't see it! Thanks. Oct 5, 2021 11:00:22 GMT

pinewalker: There is a temporary stand at 45 degrees to the pitch behind the NE corner flag, and there is more away seating at the east end of the main stand both accessed via the away turnstiles. Oct 5, 2021 14:33:57 GMT

holmesdale96: Sorry to hear of Danny's death, a real loss. I saw him regularly during the 90's at his home in Streatham, always charged the same small fee for years, an absolute gentleman with his dear wife Rose. RIP Danny Sept 13, 2023 21:01:09 GMT

scorpioeyes: So we have a situation where people from both sides of any argument can say they are 'uncomfortable' in the presence of the opposing view. Who is to say which side is correct or justified? Sept 2, 2024 16:49:19 GMT
