We have been in contact with the EFL this afternoon following further Covid test results. The Club has moved to “Red” protocols at the training ground, and continues to monitor developments daily, in addition to the outlook for players currently unavailable through injury. There have been a small number of additional positive test outcomes, but no more affecting players. With the return from international duty, and potential prognosis of the injury situation, we have informed the league we are in a position to host both Stevenage and Hartlepool.

There may be some small changes to how we manage the games but these are relatively small. There will likely be no ball boys or mascots, for instance. The Club is likely to decide to close off for spectator use the “tardis terrace” to ensure the two teams have separate exit/entry points to the pitch and don’t crowd space in the tunnel etc.

Tickets for the Stevenage game are on sale online here and details regarding tickets for the Hartlepool game will appear tomorrow (Tuesday).

Could we take this opportunity to remind all spectators of Covid protocols such that anyone displaying symptoms, or in receipt of a positive Covid test, must not attend any fixture.
