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

Listening to Dyche interview he wants the game to go ahead

What is the latest time that the game can be postponed?

The Burnley game in the week was postponed when the players were already in the ground eating their pre match meal.

I hate to be cynical but with "injuries" being bought up alongside the positive tests I think there is some chicanery going on here to engender a mid season break of sorts, particularly with so many games this month.

Perhaps our manager and his opposite number will now see our game as an opportunity to steal a march on other teams?

I still think it will be off though...

The EFL has revealed that only 59% of players are double jabbed, I would guess the numbers are similar or worse for the PL. I think Klopp has confirmed all his players double jabbed and I think Dyche has taken a similar stance at Burnley.

If you wanted any further evidence of how Pro footballers think.

Weird when you think they work in an industry where being at the peak of physical health is kind of important.

With infection numbers rising astronomically, 42K people, 95-99% mostly maskless crammed into Villa Park (based on matches so far this season) and more worryingly, the concourse.... Is anyone as concerned as I am that the match going ahead is a really bad idea?

Let's face it - It's Burnley. I certainly won't lose any sleep if this one gets postponed.

Personally, I'm fairly confident I'd be okay if I caught the 'rona (but you never know), but with Christmas and family gatherings just a matter of days away, is this not a recipe for disaster?

It may well be postponed but having missed the last 2 home games due to having Covid of course I'll be disappointed if it doesn't go ahead.
Our normal pre match pint has been ditched and I'll be wearing a mask in the concourse areas so will be doing my bit but I accept that we're dealing with human beings some of which are knobheads.

It should be FULL Vaccination AND a negative test as fully jabbed can still spread the virus . Does not make sense

You do know that shouting makes it easier for the virus to spread?

Yes I understand this point, I’m having a good think about what to, probably just go straight to the match.

It's almost impossible to contain it at a football match. With everyone so packed into the stands, there's no way that it's not going to spread.

Masks in the concourse isn't workable either - Most fans are in there to eat and drink, so masks won't be worn there either?!

I guess they are subject to all the stuff on Social Media, they are sheep like as well. If say Ronaldo and KDB said we have been fully vaxed they would be queuing up for a jab.
