I do wonder what would happen if these new Covid cases come about at a charity rugby match and not a football one.

Potentially more when you include different ages over men’s and women’s football. It’s a joke.

2 games v last season's champions called off for you and your team marra. We had a free week next week anyway with there been only 9 teams in our league

It will be sports affiliated to a national governing body - i.e. the FA, via local FAs. Kids football and non-league football should be ok, but a kick around in the park or even at a 5-a-side centre will be banned I would imagine.
 
So they'll be closing schools and workplaces again then yeah? Worst of it is the Durham FA have said that training is fine still. Does Covid know the difference between a practice game and a league game? Load of bollocks. It's either safe to be out and about or its not. You can go to work, school, the pub but not play football? What does that solve?

Its an absolute joke.
 
I've spoke to goals and beacon and they are still saying they're open and available for next week.

Be gutted if everything is locked down again, we'd just got to 2 games a week. :(

The lads are gutted, games against the best sides around are what gets you up for it. Whole thing stinks. Durham are hopeless.

It will take the death of a pupil or teacher before they’ll even contemplate closing schools.

I’m afraid you have a very one dimensional view about what constitutes training. Proper games are obviously full of necessary contact. But training is far from just playing games. Rather, there are many ways of training with and without balls which maintain interest and without players being close to one another. Just look on YouTube for football training and see the vast variety of training sessions shown to see how skills, fitness and tactics can be developed and enhanced without playing full or even mini games with player to player contact.
