It's not possible on the 26th and the 28th. We need help with the fixtures. We have to talk about if we can carry on or not, but we can't carry on like usual.
I'm fine with that if we don't play anymore and have a break. They said before corona that we were busy. corona gives us a proper punch and tells us we can't carry on like this.
What are the rules for postponements?
The Premier League board will only allow the rearrangement or postponement of a league match in exceptional circumstances according to the handbook.
The board makes calls on a case-by-case basis, and by way of guidance, the league says that permission for a postponement will not be granted if a club has more than 14 players available.
The ability of a club to field a team, the status of the Covid-19 outbreak at the club, and the ability of the players to safely prepare for and play the match are some of the factors that will be assessed by the league.
The board must consider the risks to the opposition and other people who the club may come into contact with.
