How much will Coronavirus (COVID-19) impact Aston Villa's season?

Reckon it'll be off

I'm beginning to get that feeling, I have to say.

Can't see it unless it's a blanket cancellation of games. Pretty sure it was said Burnley-Watford was off more so due to Watford cases and they didn't get to the ground so no mixing with Burnley players.

I can see xmas schedule being disrupted though so just a case of one less game having to be re-arranged.

Pretty likely season will have to go into middle of June I think.

Leicester v Spurs is off tonight.

According to the Telegraph, the Man United Covid outbreak has gone from 4 to 19 positive cases. I think our game will only be called off if there's a sudden jump in cases like that.

Bit early to be speculating that football might need to shut down completely like in the first lockdown.

Where are the pre-match protocol emails?
Too tight now I think

Indeed. It's going to be a worse pile on than a Cup final. And the website's shit enough at the best of times when hardly anyone's using it.

Has anyone had the registration email yet?

The email that was sent at about 5pm yesterday said:The form for Burnley will be sent over the next 24-48 hours. This must be submitted prior to three hours before kick-off. Please ensure your email address and preferences are up-to-date.

It's not just the games themselves though. It's fans travelling around the country to attend games at a time when the virus is spreading more quickly than it ever has done before.

Football isn't the most important consideration here.

Aston Villa "In dialogue" with Burnley.

What does that mean exactly? The Premier League Board decides whether to postpone games or not.

Is a joint approach to the PL Board by clubs more powerful than individual ones?

It means absolutely nothing. Clickbait

As a general rule of life I absolutely will not believe anything I read in BirminghamLive.

More disruption likely. https://twitter.com/JPercyTelegraph/status/1471472392149082119

I have a feeling the rest of this year will be postponed, potentially returning to action for Brentford, or maybe FA Cup weekend. I won't lose any sleep over postponing our upcoming fixtures tbh. Far too many numpties not taking things seriously and flouting the medical recommendations (*inc. the fucktards supposedly in charge of this country).

On a related note, I went to watch the new Spider-Man film at the IMAX in Rubery yesterday. It was a pretty horrendous situation to be in tbh - A packed out audience, with around 80-85% of people not wearing masks in a small confined box - Super spreader special!
