The best part is we have only had 2 players with COVID, where other teams have had over a dozen infected but they did it properly, you can't make these things up.

Yeah, but ours was in September when infection rates were low.

It shouldn't do. We did make a profit last season.

Should come out of JF's pay off if there is any justice.

As stupid as the club have been what sense is there in the club being fined £18k plus told to play compensation? What if we weren’t such a prudent bunch of penny pinchers? This level of fine at our level could force a club out of business, ludicrous.

In reality there were other clubs, Stevenage?, who had players test positive but still played on but this  stance suited Hollowords and Days rhetoric that the season shouldn’t be taking place so we don’t want to play hence we didn’t have a pre-season.

The Man from EFL: Please can we see the Club’s risk assessment in respect of Covid 19?

Fenty: The Football Club’s risk assessment is done on the field

The Man from EFL: So you haven’t got one?

Fenty: That’s defamation. You’ll be hearing from my solicitor. Philip...Philip...?!!  The Man from the EFL just tried to touch me in my special place

From the BBC website:
"Quite honestly this should not have happened," chairman Philip Day told BBC Radio Humberside after the club were fined £4,880, which is suspended until June.

"We're disappointed because, prior to the players returning to training, we had put in place protocols which were approved by the EFL and we gave a full morning's training to the staff and players to ensure they were fully conversant with the protocol.

"The protocols are there for a purpose and they must be complied with. They're all adults, but sometimes you've just got to reinforce the message time and again."

Day also said the playing of darts was "unknown to the board and senior management" and was "really beyond the protocols".

"Olly [Holloway] used the playing of darts to build up team ethos and sadly he shouldn't have done it," he added.

Grimsby are also facing other costs, including an EFL bill of £13,000, believed to be the cost of the investigation, and reasonable costs incurred by the teams they were due to face at the time - Cheltenham Town, Bradford City and Hull City.

Obviously didn't work did it

So Bradford were right all along despite the bitching on here. It’s genuinely interesting just how many times our fan base end up being wrong.

It's a suspended fine though, just to June, so as long as we're good boys we won't have to pay it? Isn't that what suspended means?

It's a slap on the wrists really, more embarrassing than anything.
