Or travel to Wigan and pay for a hotel, let all our fans travel, etc.Just makes me laugh that they think, to make it look genuine from our side, we would actually not play 7 of our players in the next game
You should be scared of Wigan don’t you know they are paying players 10k upwards a week we are tiny compared to themOh yes we are just ' so scared ' of playing the mighty Wigan ... .. some people
Maybe the team should have rolled up at Wigan and then mentioned there have been some positive tests, wonder what the reaction what the reaction would have been.I'm sorry to drag this up again...but please read this comment from a Wigan fan on their forum
'They travelled with 2 keepers,but cos the back up GK had only 1 covid jab and was a close contact of the positive players he had to isolate.But he's 19 years old,so that begs the question why has he only had 1 covid jab when they were available to lads his age months ago?Was he also conveniently not a close contact of the one or two that tested positive earlier in the week?
That still doesn't alter the fact though that they had 2 other U18 academy GKs available,1 of which, Fraser Barnsley didn't even get on the pitch from the bench from their academy game on Friday.There was more than enough time on Saturday morning to contact both of those lads and get them up to Wigan for KO.
Moreover Robinson says he tried to get an emergency loan GK on Saturday morning.Well he obviously didn't bloody try hard enough as there's over 20 clubs in the Championship and L1 within a 2 hours drive of Wigan.
I still find it hard to believe that when they were all tested on Friday night there was no positive tests and miraculously several hours later there where 7 after a few showed symptoms during the night.Usually when you get covid if you show symptoms they don't happen until a few days after you catch it,so surely if they were tested several hours earlier those tests would be positive?
By conveniently having all these positive tests at once on the day of the game,it made it easier for Robinson to get the game off.But the question is did they all test positive on the morning of the game or were Oxford hiding that some of the 7 were before that,giving them less time to get a replacement GK(s) and using that as an excuse.They may have wanted to wait for their academy game to go ahead too on the Friday, before confirming any positive tests to again try and make it easier to get the game off.
I see,surprise,surprise that their game with Fleetwood tonight is going ahead.At the very least our club needs to be compensated for lost revenue,both sets of fans that travelled long distances need to be fully reimbursed and a proper, thorough investigation needs to take place by the EFL against Oxford because the whole thing stinks'!

A forum where any non-home fans are barred - sad.
