The game's postponed according to Rovers Twitter feed 8 players have tested positive for COVID says they will now be subject to an EFL investigation. They played Fleetwood on Tuesday, does that mean their fixture on Saturday is also now in doubt if the self isolation rules have to be applied.

Disappointing but understandable, protecting the health of players, coaching staff and officials is paramount.
Hopefully the Accy players that have tested positive make a swift recovery.

As mentioned, surely that is their next 3 league games postponed due to the isolation period?

For me, this reinforces the need to get points on the board early. I can see this becoming more and more common, possibly to the point where the league has to be cut short again, with points per game etc. coming into play.

Aside from the sense in isolating the whole squad anyway, if they call off games for 3 international player call ups I dont see why anyone could have a problem with the same number of sick players leading to a postponement.

At least we won’t get our annual battering at Accrington then.

Time to have a chicken pox party. Ridiculous that a pro game gets called off because off testing. 1000’s of games will be played this weekend. As a complete guess there will be at least 500,000 players playing competitive football min. About 1% of them are being tested, only because they in the higher league have too. I personally know a ex sh** head (he’s still a sh** head)Tested positive, That’s the only reason he knows he had it. No symptoms. New slogan is simple. Protect the Elderly, Protect the vulnerable, Chuffing crack on. You don’t want to be protected, don’t shield. Your choice.

Surely they’d have to have at least 6/7 positive cases to have the game postponed. Positive tests are something we’re gonna have to deal with , it’s them this week , another club or two the following week and then it could be our turn. Doesn’t matter anyway how many players they’ll have out.... they’ll still beat us 1-0 with a 79th minute winner And there's me 'championing you for match day thread ! Awww let’s be fwends 😢

Yes agreed but if this keeps happening, as seems likely , will the season finish ? Before anyone jumps on my back I’m not saying it shouldn’t of been called off but this season is going to be a total furk up ain’t it ?

Where teams have covid in the squad games need to be cancelled,we wouldn't have wanted the disease to be spread to our players. Keep the virus up north not our fault that the Northerners partied in the streets and ignored guidelines .

Your friend may have had no symptoms, but I know people that have caught the virus months ago and are still struggling with the effects to the point they’ve had to take time off work. This is very much a virus to take seriously especially considering that middle age men, probably the largest demographic to use this forum, are one of the groups most at risk from it. Don’t think just because you’re not elderly or have a record of health issues that you’re immune from the severity of it because you’re not. Opinions like these will only see cases rise further.
