Are self isolating. Trophy tie in doubt then. When this happened to us in FA cup....
From Chesterfield's website in response to their Covid 19 positive tests:
Next weekend’s FA Trophy tie (January 16) will also have to be postponed, although that is yet to be confirmed.
It is unclear whether this means Chesterfield will have to bow out of the FA Trophy and let the Pilgrims progress.
-
And they’ve signed Alex Whittle from Gloucester
-
Surely the rules for what happens is precedent. We had to forfeit the games when we couldn't play on the specified day so if Chesterfield cannot play next Saturday they will have to forfeit the game. I hope the committee that decides is not the one that said we had to replay the Darlington game. Also out of interest doed anyone know what is happening with the Southampton cup tie with Shrewsbury as that had to be called off, surely they are not letting that be rearranged???
-
I think you are allowed to postpone the game and play it at a later date but within a specified time period (not sure what that period is though for cup ties). I think that has already happened in the FA Cup and Trophey. In BUFC's case for FA Cup we could not play within that specified period and hence had to forfeit the game.
-
the rules look like there are 5 days to rearrange the match at either ground. After that it's a forfeit to the team that can't play.
However:
(c) The National Game Board shall have the power to vary these arrangements if it is deemed necessary.
Who knows. FA Cup seems to be allowing rearrangements now, as is the League Cup, but both are at later stages (I think it's in the rules that a League Cup semi can be rearranged).
-
The FA Cup rules have been consistent, in that it was in the rules that COVID postponements were allowed in the competition proper, but not qualifying (due to the minimal time between rounds).
-
I see some CN games are off this weekend. Can't we play one of the teams not affected?
-
The Chesterfield website match preview suggests the game on Weds evening will be a good chance to try out some of their new signings including Alex Whittle, however he has already played for Gloucester in 2 previous Trophy ties this season so surely the 'cup-tied' rule should apply!

Let them play him, we will then report them for fielding an illegal player.

Just checked the FA TROPHY rules on the FA website, and it clearly states that no player shall be able to represent different clubs in the competition during the same season/competition.
They make an exception to that rule if it means f***ing Boston United over lol.
-
Boston United be away to Aldershot Town or Solihull Moors in the FA Trophy fifth round on 6 Feb - if they can overcome Chesterfield on Wednesday.
-
Should we both progress, we'll be up against Ricky Miller.

It would be good to see him again but not in that context. First however, we have to survive the expected incoming heavy rains in order to play our match.
-
I would imagine most of the players signed from Gloucester, will be cup tied.

It has been confirmed that the Spireites have withdrawn from this season’s Buildbase FA Trophy.
The decision was taken following the postponement of Saturday’s tie at Aldershot Town and the subsequent return of a positive PCR antigen test, forcing the first-team players and management to isolate for ten days.
Under FA rules, a rescheduled tie has to be played within five days of the original fixture and the possibility of playing an Under-19 team was considered before the decision was made to forfeit the tie.

Thought they had the jab
-
That was four staff members who are either in category 4 or 6 on the priority list and 3 or 4 players that were handy to use the available vaccine up on as the training ground is beingused for vaccinations.
Thanks to the daily mail, the mirror, and a disgruntled prick of a former club secretary, it got blown up into all proportion. Staff at the surgeries involved who have been doing a great job of vaccinating have received hate mail / threats. There is a statement from one of them available that sets this out far more eloquently than I have here. However, well done daily mail. Just carry on peddling the racial hatred rather than pick on footballers, won't you. I take it that the players involved were mostly white, or no doubt that would have been highlighted......
