Harrogate

[Tomo]

Harrogate have asked the national league to postpone tonight's match.

[Broughton Bluebird]

Tell them to get on with it. Yorkshire *******s

[Tommylad]

Could be a pivotal moment in both clubs seasons that.

[xerxes]

Why?

[Tomo]

They say they have 4 people with the virus

[Tommylad]

Why?

A win tomorrow takes us 7 points clear with more fixture congestion for them

[Jonty]

Why?

Because the season may not be able to be completed?

[Holkerbird]

Was this a televised game too?
If they have people testing coronavirus positive then thoughts are with those for a speedy recovery.

[Jim]

Sympathy with them of course, but isn't it a bit late in the afternoon to ask for a postponement?

[barrowfan]

I suspect the Trophy games will be postponed as it’s an FA competition.

[Steelworks End]

Sympathy with them of course, but isn't it a bit late in the afternoon to ask for a postponement?

Depends when the four people concerned tested positive, I suppose.

[Jim]

Now confirmed - match off.

It is with regret that we have had cause to apply to @TheVanaramaNL
for the postponement of our fixture this evening with Solihull Moors

We have four employees currently under self isolation and we have a duty of care for the health and wellbeing of players, staff and supporters

[Holkerbird]

If this was due to be televised the decision won't have been taken lightly. Loss of tv money etc.
We are all in this together, no club against club.
Serious times ahead.

It doesn't say anyone tested positive, just that they are under self isolation. Anyway it's moot now.

[Broughton Bluebird]

I reckon they just heard about Adam Rooney signing from Salford....
