However if the season is to finish, with the peak outbreak apparently 10-14 weeks away (14 weeks takes you to mid June), I would think the most likely scenario would be to finish the season in August and September (and poss even October) when next season would originally have started, ie during a period when clubs would have already expected to host matches. Start and finish the new season later (if coronavirus not around next winter of course). I think you need to create a transfer window between this season ending and next season starting however so there will need to be a break between the two seasons in my view. Reduce the matches next season (maybe play each other just once) and / or scrap all the domestic cups for a season to free up dates and get things back on track for a year.

I would be amazed if the players are any different than the rest of the population and that by the end of this outbreak at least 25% of them have had this. Oh dear. Isn’t that the same thing?

Robbored Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Thing is tho.......most of us get colds during the colder months. Runny nose, sore throat, and a cough. Ive had those symptoms within the last month. I thought nothing of it. I did what I always do and took 4 hourly paracetamol and I’m fine now. My point is that I could well have had the coronvirus but had no idea. Just a cold as far I was concerned............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Billy Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 If the season does start again in April then I can’t see there being any issues. A few extra fixtures to fit in - it would just end up like the Christmas fixture list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love football in the summer and winter be the close season. You’d get better crowds - all day drinking in the sun with a football match sandwiched in between.

What about their families and then their families and so on. Do they all go into self isolation? When the self isolation ends do they all go back to mingling? On a positive note, my wife asked me if I wanted to go shopping. I told her it will be crowded and we are told to stay away from crowds. Thought I was clever and when I’ve finished, the washing, ironing hoovering and dusting I may laugh at my clever plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackofromSanJavier Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 So, do we think that we may have seen the last of kissing and hugging a goal scorer? Whilst it was just a brief handshake and a congratulatory drag on the Manager's fag back in my day, I can't wait to see the newly developed goal celebrations involving a discreet elbow bump when things get started again. Maybe our coaching team are getting the lads to practice 'safe' celebrations during these troubled times. To be fair, I only ventured over the halfway line a couple of times in my illustrious career so I had to supply my own ciggies. Ten Number 6's tucked into my undies used to last me the full 90 minutes during the Stroud & District League Div.6 days, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
