New: Hammers Game Against Wolves In Doubt

Due to the rapid spread of Coronavirus 19, the advice being given by the chief medical officer is being updated on an hourly basis, consequently there is more than a distinct chance that West Ham United's crucial home game against Wolverhampton Wanderers due to be played at the London Stadium will be postponed.

If the match were postponed, it would be of far greater benefit to Wolves than the Irons, as Wolves will have played their Europa League quarter final in a behind closed doors game against Olympiakos on thursday. Olympiakos and Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has tested positive for coronavirus and is currently self isolating, ironically that game is due to go ahead whereas the weekend's fixture stands a very good chance of postponement.

There are some suggestions that the entire Barclays Premier League might be suspended or even curtailed in the next couple of weeks, if the season was brought to an abrupt halt those in the relegation slots would have an awful lot to say about the situation, and that is before anyone tries to address the nightmare of deciding the play offs!

Whether we like it or not, this 'C' word 'ain't gonna go away', so be prepared for a lengthy break from the trials and travails of supporting West Ham, some say it is a blessed relief to not have to endure the current relegation scrap, we will see, won't we? - Ed
