Covid & Teams

Hi All.
Just wondering what are clubs starting to think about the season with Covid numbers growing? My gut feel is that its going to be a shit show of a season with clubs opening and closing. There is no doubt, all clubs will get outbreaks.

What happens if half a dozen people get it? Does that mean we are shutting down that team/ club for a few weeks, and then it happens all over again a few weeks later. How can clubs manage that and stay in the competition?

Are clubs thinking about not putting in lower grade teams to combat player number disruptions throughout the season.?

Be interested to see what clubs are thinking/ doing?

Under current restrictions it will be a nightmare and I could see a number of lower grades being knocked out for the season as too much strain will be placed on clubs. However, if restrictions ease then it maybe able to go ahead.

PFL would have to be flexible and think outside the square. Maybe have the option of 15 a side or even less for clubs lowest teams? Especially for lower grades having a game albeit 3 less on the field is still better than no comp at all. Some country comps operate with less on the field why cannot the city do it for at least one year.
