Bit gutted but as last seasons final hasn't been played yet i doubt this seasons' will be completed any time soon.

Should have scheduled Trophy to have been played after leagues had finished, is time allowed.

It’s all about money.
Looks like two year’s final on the same day

Don't know the circumstances of their covid cases but H&W are now playing a league match tomorrow so that shows they would have been able to fulfil the Trophy tie. Presumably the rest of their squad is not required to self-isolate under the covid protocols whereas our entire squad is.

it’s unfortunate we get a negative test when it’s a cup game and not a league fixture. We’re well in front with games played in the league and wouldn’t have been a great hardship to move a fixture until later on. Oh well, that’s life. Hope we can get enough games played by everyone to reach PPG at least. It’d be a great shame and a lot of wasted time and effort if the season was scrapped.

Using your detailed knowledge of the particular circumstances of each club, please explain why.

The rearranged fixture didn't help them - lost 1-2 to Eastbourne (remember them ?)

Don't worry about not getting to Wembley in the FA trophy 🏆, we'll be there in the play off final instead! 😉

The fevered celebrations after Hampson's goal last week don't look that sensible now.

If we are all being completely honest, playing football at all with the virus raging out of control is a high risk activity. It is a contact sport. On this basis, it's a lottery which clubs are and aren't impacted and it seems to me most clubs will be impacted at some point as long as the games keep on being played. 

Its just plain bad luck it hit us before the Trophy game, but I don't believe it would have been a priority for us - consolidating and attaining a respectable, stable footing in the National League is.  Just imagine how gutting it would have been had we got to Wembley for the first time since 1986, and none of us could go because it was being played behind closed doors.

As we have all said, the timing of this was a real shame.

Now I know this is a left of field comment, but say most of the squad have come into contact with the player who tested positive and thereby developed asymptomatic corona virus, would this not massively reduce the chances of this happening again later in the season? Wild speculation I know... but a potential silver lining?

How did the positive result become known ie via club testing or an individual test?
