My gig cancellation was announced- but went in my spam inbox folder! It hasn't been cancelled yet. They will find a replacement of some variety.

The Fun Factory Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Just now, TheMelvillan said: is it even possible to arrange an alternative team at such short notice or do you think it will be played at a later date if we do get an alternative? I guess we will find out. Either its tomorrow or not at all with 1 week to go for start of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted August 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6, 2021 1 minute ago, dont_do_it_doug. said: How on earth would I know? Agreed. It'll still happen. Miserable. But it has happened before due to weather conditions, so it won't be particularly unique. I haven't expressed either support for or against restrictions, just wondering why you think 21/22 will be defined as the 'covid season' as opposed to the last two seasons? i disagree. i think games will go ahead. got some covid cases in your team? tough tits. games are actually seldom postponed for weather...we played bolton during the beast from the east. it takes very extreme weather to postpone a fixture nowadays so i think it will be the covid season because players will be isolating due to covid but teams will be required to play the fixture.

alreadyexists Posted August 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) Wolves are playing Celta Vigo tomorrow… if they cancel too that would be a relatively easy one to organise Edited August 6, 2021 by alreadyexists 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 There's a good chance that our U23s were due to play someone, probably a non league side, whoever it was if anyone we could ask them to play our first team instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastmix Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 This is so depressing. I don't care if we have to play the U18s, just give me a reason to use my train ticket. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted August 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6, 2021 Thing is we can't get a Football League club as they start tomorrow. It's got to be another PL team or another foreign team who will be prepared to travel last minute. Solihull Moors maybe? They're supposed to be playing Leamington, maybe we can send our under 23s to Leamington or something At least with the gate receipts we can probably offer someone some decent enough wedge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastmix Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I would imagine we have to play somebody tomorrow. We've had nowhere enough pre-season games, irrespective of fitness from international competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Bolton game should absolutely not have gone ahead. Not that I am complaining particularly, it was an experience! We had two other games postpone that month, IIRC? Having Covid will be treated like a short term injury. Even if you're not ill, which is ridiculous of course but here we are. I don't see the impact being anywhere near as great as it was the last 2 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Gutted was bringing the fam too. I seem to be cursed with this kind of thing! Hope something else can be sorted especially given the high attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Man City "friendly"? We could make it a Grealish testimonial, maybe ask if Ciaran Clark(e) can come in and play in defense for us Honestly thou this is terrible news, our pre-season has been absolute shambles. We are not alone in this thou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
