Away Match Day Thread 20/11/2021 L1: Wigan Athletic v OUFC - POSTPONED

[WhyteMustard]

I should imagythat the next two games will be off aswel then on the plus side at least we are out of the cups so shouldn’t be to bad

Gutted we were just past Stafford on the coach

 

[Manorlounger]

How many of the squad have still not had one or two vaccinations? If it is the case that unvaccinated players have symptoms then is there a case for making it obligatory? After all, those in the squad are bound to have contact with each other and, players from other teams.

was just going going to leave and had a quick check n here, going to have to take her shopping now - double disaster

you could persuade the driver to take you to the Stoke vs Peter's Brother game......

 

[ljs]

I wonder how many of the squad have been double jabbed? If they haven't been then it's 'disappointing '

including OUWFC who very recently were training with the first team squad

You would think so.
That said, but las we have been told many times by anti-vaxxers-you can still catch it .

The risk of catching it and passing it on is reduced.
Doesn't also the FL regulations mean that if you are vaccinated , you are able to play again quicker?
Some will hate this view, but as professionals, the players should all be double vaccinated (** unless genuine health reasons why not)

Somewhat of a relief. Stops me pacing nervously up and down the garage guzzling SKOL Super. Away matches tug at the nerves.

Is there a consensus of where fans are going, north midlands to see a game?

 

[OxfordYankee]

Got as far as Wolverhampton on the train.

Gutted is an understatement.

 

[unification]

Do a Crewe and say we’re happy to play anyway?

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Hopefully as young, fit men it won't effect them too much.

I appreciate people are disappointed with the game being postponed so late in the day (I'm sure it was done as early as possible) but the amount of anger directed at the club on twitter from fans demanding refunds as well as compensation is astounding and disappointing. I'm sure they all meant to tweet "get well soon " really.

 

[Mojofilter]

Does this mean Fleetwood could be off and also Rotherham? If so a fixture pile up is going to happen which we could do without

Good thing we're out of the cups then

Twitter is a very toxic, unpleasant place.

B*****s, sat in the Red Robin, just found out! Oh well, Ill have a trip to North Wales instead now.

 

[windmill]

Could this mean no home game until approaching Christmas?

 

[BrockBuster]

A deeply cynical person could say it's quite convenient from the sense of having had an extremely tough 120 minutes on Tuesday, even if the majority of the first didn't of course didn't play the entire time.

Obviously though, if we end up having to cancel a few and potentially be without players it puts the kabosh on that a bit.

Given how many times we had opponents postpone on us last season surprised it took this long for an outbreak to be ours. Sorry to those who travelled and get well soon to any of the players/staff who have tested positive.

Ouch. If the weather holds there’s always the Haigh Woodland Park?

Oh cheers
