If the league said that we couldn't postpone the game under those circumstances, that is ludicrous.

I read a story once about a Northwich game in the 80's when they were so short they asked some some fans who played Sunday league to sign on for the team before one match (though I suspect that wouldn't happen these days). As I remember, the fans played well and they got a draw!

That's right. If I recall correctly, one of them was having a pint in the club before the game.

The press picked it up as an amusing story, but the Alliance Premier League/Conference (not sure what it was at the time) were not amused as it made the league look amateurish.

We'll be getting quite a few players back for the Cup game, would I be right in assuming?

God help us if not...

Assuming Kosylo, Mullarky, Hampson, Whitehead, Dinanga and Colclough were the Covids. Hoping any of Furman, Thommo, Jackson or Mooney return.

Have I missed anybody? White, Digie and Kirby definitely out.

Might be useful to arrange a practice match on Tuesday if so many players are expected to return.

Hampson wasn’t at Eastleigh so he’s not a COVID case

You missed Leitch-Smith who is on the injured list.

TT was at Woking and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him start on Saturday.

Thommo took part in the warm up and took a few corners/crosses for Gould to catch, can't be far off. (Takes a tidy corner btw!)
Gould did ok for me though yesterday, the outfield players are more of an urgency.
