Watford game postponed?

[Tring Wolf]

Had a text from a Watford-supporting friend…

 

[JadeWolf]

Yeah I posted on another thread but my mate says all Wolves players/staff have been told too.

 

[Macman]

Im hearing this story too.

Thanks Jade. I hadn’t seen anything else anywhere so was a bit surprised to get the text.

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2022.

 

[clivewolves]

Oh, bugger.

Here is the email, which has gone round to club staff

[Oh When the Wolves]

Great for us really. Much longer time to prepare for arsenal who will be playing 2 games in 3 days

You too Tringy! x

CONFIRMED - due to rising case numbers in The Hornets squad.

Boxing Day Watford fixture postponed

Wolves’ Boxing Day fixture against Watford has been postponed after a request made by the visitors to the Premier League was accepted due to rising Covid-19 cases.

Or you could just lie in altogther - knowing it is going to be a 5-0 whitewash?

Is it not that barely any of their squad are vaccinated? Therefore they’re all isolating (from each other).

And that’s why they can still play West Ham two days later.

 

[sc91]

For ****s sake.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Sounds like we're getting done because Watford have unvaccinated players as Premier League confirm that they're expected to be able to play against West Ham two days later as many are out of isolation and had heard they were in this position. Not right.

 

[Netherton Wolf]

Oh ****, what do I do boxing day now

 

[JadeWolf]

Oh ****, what do I do boxing day now

Get drunk!

 

[MrwulfAndrew]

Another reason to dislike Watford

 

[Sketchead]

They'd have been able to play last week and Boxing Day if a decent amount of their players were vaccinated which would mean they didn't have to isolate. A shambles all round for them lot.

But hopefully enough games survive for TV/MOTD purposes. With us due to play two days later anyway, doesn't feel too bad.

 

[sc91]

What to do now then.

 

[GY Wolf]

Bloody Watford and their stupid unvaccinated players

 

[Bilston paul]

Oh ****, what do I do boxing day now

I think I'm still going to go up town for a few . The plan was my better half was going to go round the Sales while we was at the match then meet up for a drink after.

Oh ****, what do I do boxing day now

I was not able to attend the Watford game so resold my ticket back, according to club statement tickets for rearranged matches will be valid. I can probably attend the rearranged fixture date.....so what happens in this situation ?!?!

If they prevent me attending the rearranged game last time I will ever resell back to club !

Still having nightmares after watching the Ashes

At least Tring will still be able to take the pee out of his Watford supporting relatives.

I'm in the same position but suspect if the seat's been resold they will have to honour that ticket

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Probably for the best with London clubs at the moment,half not vaccinated its crazy really

 

[Wolowolf6]

Liverpool - Leeds game off too.

Great result for the visitors that!

 

[SmokeyGB]

No it's not right!
Do they have a U23's, U21's Youth team.. Any of them available you play the game.
Sorry but it's just does not sit right with me, not like we've only just heard about COVID and did not know how to work with.

It seems fair to me that the person who bought your seat will still get to go to the match. It might be that you get a seat elsewhere. It's obviously unprecedented so not sure what the policy will be. You're best to contact the ticket office.
Hard to get angsty with the club over this situation though.

 

[Tojo the grass]

I think it is going to be a chilling in the house sort of Xmas.

If it’s your season ticket, you should have the right to the seat for the rearranged date - prticualy since they only give you 50% of the money they sell it for

Doesn’t feel right to me either.

After watching? During, surely!

 

[Deleted member 8455jwf]

Yeah the Prem dropped the ball massively not getting clubs to vaccinate players, typical English mentality of "we are different". Best league in the world btw

I think I disagree... it is a difficult one admittedly...

• Consider the person who bought the ticket, looking forward to Wolves vs Watford... how could you possibly deny them the chance to go now that a season ticket holder has decided he can and wants to go?
• From the clubs point of view wouldn't it be easier to offer a ticket elsewhere to the season ticket holder in return for the ticket cash he received? It would just be tidier. You could move the purchaser of course but why make such waves when they're already booked in?
• The 50% thing isn't great but it's also not relevant to the debate. The season ticket holder knew the terms and on balance felt that it was the right thing for them to do.

Like I say, unprecedented situation so not easy and not a stick to beat the club with in my opinion. I hope DerbyshireWanderer and anyone in similar circumstances get to go.

 

[tamwolf]

Personally, I think if the game is postponed due to Watford having unvaccinated players, Watford should be made to play the fixture or forfeit.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Guy on SSN basically confirmed this was the case.

Without getting into the ins and outs, they are telling us to get vaccinated and then there's seemingly no punishment for not doing what they say.

Seems obvious to me that only players who test positive should be classed as a Covid absentee.

 

[JOSWolf]

Gutted but to be expected. Hope the Arsenal game doesnt go the same way but wouldnt be surprised if it does.

 

[Ned Stark]

Dammit just snapped up a ticket off the website this morning!
