Not sure how many of the squad are affected but I guess this will also impact upon training let alone pre season friendlies. Don't think even Sword claimed it would get this bad so quickly. No I didnt but I will say we have professional players,as long as they are fit they should be able to play football,if they cannot then they shouldn't be pro footballers. As far as I am concerned 2 more friendlies should be enough, Will we get 2 more friendlies? That is a another question.

Whatever, where there's life, there's hope. BUT Stones seem to being hit worse than other clubs and pre-season is massively disrupted now. Looks for sure that we will start the new season under-cooked. Can it get any worse ? Unfortunately, yes. But there is always hope - todays infection figures were a much smaller increase than recently. Only one day, but if this turns out to be the begiining of the peak being reached, Johnson's gamble could yet pay off.

Probably impacts Hak's decisions on certain trialists too.
I'd hope if we're back by Tuesday we'll have enough time to still commit to a half-decent pre-season, but must be very frustrating so far for the squad.

Sadly, Stones have very been badly hit. What other clubs have suffered 3 cancellations already ? It has smashed Haks pre season training schedule and the trialists have been stuffed. Not good at all. The forum's doom and gloom merchants seem to have called it right.

The forum's doom and gloom merchants seem to have called it right. I've been called a 'doom and gloom' merchant or similar on here. I prefer realist. The numbers speak for themselves and the amount of people catching it is evident. Fingers crossed things even out at some point but at the moment must be a nightmare for the management teams plans.

On the plus side, if our squad of healthy young men have already had the disease that will almost certainly do them no long term harm, they should be fine for the rest of the season.

What we need is for the team to go on a pre season foreign tour. Wonder how many teams there are on South Georgia, South Sandwich and the Falklands?

Can't help thinking there's a bit if an overreaction here. It only takes one squad or staff member to test positive for the whole club to have to isolate. Seems some on here are assuming half the squad has come down with covid.

Generally speaking, a lot more people are catching it, not just specific to the players or staff.

Mate, your creeping Johnson into every thread I haven't posted on every thread and when I have it hasn't been about Johnson. I'm happy to see your data analysis. I know it's a lie. You will have to admit you are lying. Over to you
