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

[ChicagoLion]

So disappointed that the game on Saturday was called off, especially as I had parked near to the ground when the postponement was announced on the radio.

The people in the car parked behind me had travelled from London to see the game! - they were really pissed off.

Still at least I was home by quickly!!

I am sure the game will be re-arranged for an FA Cup weekend in either February or March

4th round weekend is a stick on if it goes wrong at Old Trafford. No idea who Burnley have got but their cup record is pretty woeful under Dyche so deep in a relegation battle they won't last long in FA cup either.

My wife recently had the COVid - she was poorly but thankfully had the jabs so it was like a bad flu, despite living in the same house I did not get the COVid - very strange, maybe I am immune to the virus?

same here , my son and GF both having the CV but I never got it .   But I do thing at times I am not human .

wouldnt mind a Manure cup game with no crowd.

Lets hope that the remainder of the season is played behind closed doors and we can watch the games at home on the television and it will save me time and money travelling to the games, and I will get a refund on my season ticket.

And then what happens next winter, the next greek letter variant comes we all stay home, stop our lives again?

This isnt ending if we carry on this like we need to learn to live with it or we might as well stop living.  Just do all the saftey protocols they are suggesting masks in busy places, isolating if infecting etc. Thats all we can do.

Glad to hear your wifes ok.

Yep, learn to live with it. Unless you're one of the unlucky/vulnerable ones, and then you could perhaps be really ill and/or die from it.

Unfortunately there isnt much we can do for that group. My gran is vulnerable and she has had all her jabs so she says to me i just gonna live my life as sitting at home all day isnt living and no point of being alive if this is going to be my life.

Its purely based on what that person decides case by case

Yes there is, that's what all this is about, you (along with quite a lot of others in the country) just don't want to do it.

Let's not write off the FA Cup weekends just yet, hey.

Do what? Im so confused?

[chrisw1]

Was absolutely fuming.  Arrived at New Street Station and was told by a distressed looking family that it had been Postponed. Many had travelled from all over the country and  even the world for this match and to call it off at such short notice was an absolute disgrace.

My Hangover is even worse now with the extra 90 minutes of Drinking too.

Hopefully the Chelsea game is Called Off tomorrow as with the alarming rate of cases it just isn't safe

Such a shame, couldn't have happened to a nicer poster.  Those bastards at Villa protecting themselves and thousands of people from what many people have died from.  The fuckers.

So you reckon Flinstone is the only person unhappy with the late cancellation?  You don't think these things could and should be managed better?

In your race to have one more dig at a poster you have made your mind up about you are losing sight of the actual situation here.

I’m at the London International Horse Show today (don’t ask). All the competitors have been PCR tested and got their results back today. If they can do it why can’t Billionaire football teams?

Then like any at risk person would do is take extra precautions. From the start all the focus should of been on the frail and the ones who medically needed protection - rather than isolate and scare everyone else into blind panic.  If we lived our lives on "what ifs" and computer calculations we would never leave our houses again.


I would like to know how many of the players / staff who tested positive (the reason games called off) were actually ill.

Because maybe if we dis not test so much the actual cases causing significant health issues would, i assume be much lower that the doomsayers are predicting 

[Hookeysmith]

Oh and we had been on duty an hour before it was called off and we then had to wait to clear all the corporate boxes etc as they are in a lot earlier than regular punters.

Terrible shame - lots of kids crying as the game was either their first or an early Christmas present.

[Lastfootstamper]

How would the number of actually ill people be reduced by testing less? Surely cases would go up as asymptomatic people freely mingle?

[Smirker]

No circuit breaker confirmed. PL to continue as normal.
