Aston Villa v Chelsea - Pre Match Thread

[N'ZMAV]

Just wondering when is the last moment to call it off .
You would think that the tests are all back in by now, so if we get past 1 it’s on.

probably about 15:30 knowing the stupid Premier League

So no covid declaration forms required for season ticket holders according to the club website. The one filled in for Burnley, the one one that was supposed to be match by match, is now a cover all for ST holders and covers the whole season.
Someone is making this shit up as they go along.

It was stated from the outset that one form would cover the rest of the season so they are not making it up as they go along.

That may be true, but it renders it a pointless waste of time.

Rumour is Spurs Palace due to be called off.

Don't listen to rumours - it's ON

Spurs are waiting for clarification from the Premier League apparently.

No it didn’t.

It was going to be match by match, but they were working to ‘try’ and come up with a solution that meant all games would be covered by a single declaration.

The FA have rejected Crystal Palace's request for postponement.  Will take something really dramatic to get the Villa game off at this point.

More likely BT wouldn't let them…

Probably our strongest team based on fitness, illness or isolation more accurately not withstanding.

No reports of further positives since last Saturday beyond Gerrard himself. He says a few who were not available should now be available. I suspect those who are not haven't been double jabbed and therefore cannot adopt use of 7 day isolation.

About as strong as we could hope for. Still going for 2-0 unless Chelsea suddenly have a full team to pick from

Last week we had the test results in the morning and the game was called off by 1pm. So going by that I'd say that if it's still  on at 1 o'clock it's safe to assume it's going ahead.

Have you tried emailing them to ask if you can do another one?

Yes, no response

Just got a text message from AVFC Saying not to travel if you have Covid symptoms and spot checks stuff

So I’m presuming it’s definitely on
