What's unfair about it is its supposed to be a sporting spectacle to see if the underdog can defeat the big rivals. I know money makes a mockery of sport these days particularly footbal

I'm still not sure what Spurs have done wrong. You will have to explain. Make it simple so i can understand. Cheers.

We paid for their Covid-19 tests. Harry Kane sponsors their shirts. We have offered to cover all the costs of the game being cancelled.

There is literally no way to re-arrange the match. We play again on the 24th & 27th Sep with the 4th round of the Carabao Cup due on the 29-30th Sep. When should we squeeze it in?

On one of the free midweeks Spurs will have after they are knocked out of Europe

Very harsh to be knocked out. What would have happenned if the game got called off for heavy rain? They'd have found a new date. So there really is no need to throw them out.

Cant play the 4th round of the Carabao cup in May 2021 though?

Heavy rain? Not the same thing in the slightest and you know it. There are rules in place for this occurrence. What is the point in making a Covid rule and then not using it?

I mean in a rearranged fixture that apparently they can't squeeze in, why can't they play the reserves then? Seems odd to have the game essentially forfeited.

I don't get you, Spurs were playing the reserves anyway, that's not an issue, it's fitting the fixture in that is. With the fourth round next week it's simply impossible unless Orient play tonight.

If the rules allow for a new date for bad weather then they should allow for a new date for corona cases.

To me it's not any different.

Look I'm not accusing Spurs of any wrongdoing but the system seems ridiculous to me. A solution should be found that allows the game to be played.

Spurs to play 2 games in 24 hours perhaps? I will be interested to see what the reaction is on GOT if EFC find themselves in the same situation.

I’m sure that the game is being looked at being rearranged but for that to happen, our probable opponents in the next round (Chelsea,) will also have to agree for the game to be cancelled next week and the game has to then be fitted into their busy schedule.
Orients reserves don’t have separate factories so they will also be part of the whole Orient F.C. club lockdown of 10? days.
