Anyway, you might think that they've thought this kind of eventuality through? I guess they have, only Orient doesn't want to forfeit, the game can't be played or rescheduled in time for the 4th round and no one seems to have conclusive info on what is going to happen. Kick off is supposed to be in 2.5 hours.
Wasn't it cancelled the night before? I know not officially but all the journos said it wouldn't be going ahead

The most ridiculous part was ollie holt saying how dare spurs take advantage of orient and get a bye to the next round, this will kill smaller clubs

Well ollie, spurs paid for their covid tests, and the spurs captain sponsors their shirts... maybe pick a different example
