Of course Orient want a postponement not a cancellation - for them it’s the difference between £125k and £0 when every penny counts.
The rules of the completion are clear though - Orient should forfeit if they can’t field a team; and Public Health England should stop them fielding a team given the sheer number of cases in their organisation.
Orient’s recklessness in playing Mansfield despite the entire team being unwell yet not covid tested is a separate issue, but it certainly doesn’t make me look at the main issue above with much sympathy for them.
