There has been a lot of criticism levelled at the club this season, but the thorough approach to COVID testing should be recognised.
They are clearly taking their duty of care to players and staff very seriously and it has to be said, more seriously than large a number of League One/Two clubs.
Other clubs haven’t tested since the mandatory test prior to the season start and are no obligation to do so from the EFL. (Steve Evans admitted this weekend Gillingham haven’t been tested since 48hrs prior to the beginning of the season.)
Credit to Swann for footing the bill for regular testing at £5k a pop, but it does seem as though we are being punished for going above and beyond what the league deem acceptable.
