Wigan

If the players infected aren't vaccinated, arguably it is their fault. ( playing devils advocate, no wish to spark a vaccination choice debate !)

 

Yip its us that upheld the integrity by playing with a depleted squad. **** em.

 

Unless Wycombe say so it won’t happen anyway.

 

This. I’m expecting it tbh

 

I’ve had a feeling for a while that this would become a possibility. Since when did the efl get a sense of justice? Level playing field? What’s that? It’s the way things seem to happen for Sunderland f.c. Am I paranoid? It’s supporting this club and the decisions of the efl that’s done it. After last season I’ll never again be surprised by their decisions. We can only hope that they do the right thing, this time.

 

I’d be amazed if they do, where would the time come from ? They’ll maybe have a week extra which won’t make much difference.

 

I don't know the stats so maybe someone can help.
How many games called off through covid were called off by Wigan and how many by the opposition.

 

That would be really interesting to find out!

 

There are 4 games being played in midweek in League One. Given that Wigan have played 4 games less than most, why are they not playing until Saturday. They can't bleat about fixture congestion if they are not prepared to tackle the problem at the earliest opportunity.

 

They have only called off one themselves

 

What about the clubs that don’t want to extend. This season’s competition had a start and end date, stick by it or there are no rules at all, in which case football is more ****ed than it all ready is.

 

Hoping to get new players in or injured back? You’d think they’d take every opportunity to close the games gap.

 

I think Wigan should be thankful of where they are.

 

The play off finals must be pre booked at Wembley. Doubt they would change the dates because one club has a huff on.

 

That is probably the best argument yet

 

The League One Final will start proceedings on Saturday 21st May 2022, before League Two and the Championship take centre stage the following weekend on Saturday 28th May and Sunday 29th May 2022,
respectively.

 

According to their fans the opposition teams all refused to play the game midweek this week

 

I was thinking about this when the thread first started. I wondered how far in advance Wembley needed to be sorted and if that would prevent them changing anything even if they wanted to.

 

If the rules around postponing games weren’t so vague teams wouldn’t be in this mess.

Clubs are obviously taking advantage of it, everyone can see that. Rules should be tightened up now to prevent it getting any worse with fixture pileup. But that won’t happen obviously…

 

If the EFL did agree to say, extending by two weeks, surely that would have to be for all teams so that the last games all play on the same day. ( That could be a help to the other teams who will have more rest time between their remaining games.) Surely they wouldn't let Wigan play on after all but their opponents were finished, they would probably be playing mid table or relegated teams who will have minds on holidays and will show little interest in competing
