TBH I can understand our club's concerns. It seems like Crewe did not do full squad testing after Wintle was +ve and only took this action after Beckles +ve test became public. More players then did test +ve last week so I can understand that we would want some assurance that the squad coming down Tuesday had current tests. If there was any ambiguity or lack of clarity over that from Crewe then to protect our players has to be paramount.
The behaviour of Crewe on 3rd Oct probably undermined our confidence that they are following protocols and thus raised our concerns to a higher level.
So who was responsible because someone is LYING
It's looking that way but as a previous posting of mine said, what is needed is a CLEAR AND ACCURATE STATEMENT FROM THE EFL EXPLAINING THE REASON(S) FOR THE POSTPONEMENT.EFL/PHE gave Crewe an ultimatum - if you cannot give assurances of X, Y & Z, then the game cannot go ahead.
CRewe were unable to give those assurances, so the game couldn't go ahead.
Whether that means that Crewe called it off because they couldnt give the assurances or the EFL/PHE called it because they weren't given the assurances, is sort of immaterial and a matter of semantics - the outcome of the conversation was the same either way...
Mind you, it does also raise the wisdom of re-arranging the game so soon after the first one, and before any outbreak had been dealt with....
Very well said.Ok - so if (and this is not officially confirmed yet) Oxford did report Crewe to PHE then what is the harm in that? I know from seniors at OUFC that they were genuinely shocked at the lax attitude of Crewe officials regarding the first postponement. PHE presumably would then talk to Crewe and ascertain if C19 protocols have been followed or not. If they have, it's game on, if they haven't it's game off and KR has every right to start questioning their behaviour and whether points should be awarded. Given the first episode, I'm not surprised that OUFC asked PHE to check that all was well at Gresty Road.
I'm not trying to score any points here (no pun intended) but what in the above summary could be deemed poor behaviour by OUFC? If I have a concern about the safety of my employees at work due to a third party's actions, the first thing I would do is seek the intervention of the right Executive Body to ensure that regulations are being adhered to. Indeed, not to do so could be seen as a dereliction of my duty of care responsibilities to my staff and could land me in hot water and facing legal claims.

But they played Wigan 4 days previously surely questions have to be asked about that as well if our game was called off.EFL/PHE gave Crewe an ultimatum - if you cannot give assurances of X, Y & Z, then the game cannot go ahead.

Unless evidence of the conversation was within the messages, of course.

Would love to know why @Crewe is still adamant that his railway set team have done nothing wrong. Surely from the many posts from various posters and attachments added they’re either all lying or Crewe have acted diabolically..... I knowSheridan thinks so:
Wigan Athletic boss wants answers over Covid controversy
John Sheridan says he has left the peculiar case of Crewe Alexandra's Covid controversy 'in other people's hands' after Wigan Athletic's visit last weekend.www.wigantoday.net
Excellent. So we agree that I was telling you things I was told.Which is what I said...................... in the bit you quoted.
I`m sticking with my assessment that there are so many "mis-truths" (or blatant lies) being told all the participants can no longer tell their proverbial a*** from their elbow.
Crewe have called a game off, twice.
They forfeit the game and we all move on and maybe get the season finished.
Ummm, in regards to not following regulations, unsure. On the face of it that would seem to be the case, but Artell says in the press conference that no PHE regulations were broken by Crewe.So it looks like we (oufc) checked with PHE that crewe were following covid regulations and werent so the game was called off. That correct?
In one of the articles released today (not sure which one) Artell says the EFL called it off. I was told PHE called it off, and the EFL relayed that to the club. So that differs slightly to what Artell said.
However artell did say PHE had been into the training ground this week to check the clubs protocols. So PHE have definitely been involved. So it seems to me that they have lent on the EFL. I was told ‘we can’t play again until we get the squad tested’. That has got to have come from PHE.
