E.G.Red Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Complete this season whenever and then next season whenever it starts only play each team once . Gate takings to be split 70:30 (this is double the normal FA cup split for the away club and may actually benefit the smaller club ). Games to be randomly selected but no more than half the possible games at home, and any clashes re local teams playing same day eg Liverpool, Everton , City, Rovers then one of the teams has to play their game away.

marmite Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 1 hour ago, joe jordans teeth said: that’s true but who exactly do you mean Lots of people who earn just a wage from football, not megabucks. Catering staff, security staff, shop staff. maintenance staff, ground staff, community staff, coaches, scouts, and many more. Multiply them by the number of clubs and you have several thousand minimum. Lots of people earn their crust just making sure the game goes ahead. It might just be 3-5pm for us supporters but there is so much happening behind the scene. Loss of football affects them all but I still think this season wont finish anytime soon. Stay safe all.

Burnley, Man Utd are two who are paying casual staff eg. Premier League however, Leeds pay deferral will include help for them but it's piecemeal.

Guest Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 7 hours ago, S25loyal said: I know this is corona related and there is a thread, but it looks like there won’t be any football at Ashton gate (unless behind closed doors) till at least after July. The council have banned any mass gatherings till after July. (Waiting for someone to say “least rovers can play then”) Surely time to cancel the season? Ultimately, it's the government who set the agenda on mass gatherings. Suspect the jobsworths in councillors are coming out and they'll be put back in their box soon enough. As to cancelling the season, I don't see why there is a need to make such a decision now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this season is abandoned there could be legal action from the clubs that have lost out (eg Leeds, WBA) and the EFL will want to avoid that possibility.

My daughter was going to see another band in April who have called off their Cardiff gig. The tour has been rearranged for October/November and all tickets valid, refunds if you can’t make rearranged date. Another band she was due to see a couple of weeks ago had to cancel and refunds given as tickets not issued yet. I am clinging onto the hope that The Killers are trying to rearrange, but as they are doing stadium tours it won’t be until next close season, and we don’t even know when that will be.

OldlandReddies Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 If it's not safe for fans to be at the ground how can we expect players and staff to put their lives at risk ?? Even if the FA decided to play behind closed doors I'd expect the majority of players to refuse to play and rightly so. This season is finished. Null and void. Can't see next season starting until Autumn at the earliest. Sad but reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say it did finish in December, instead of waiting 7 months you could bring the Euros 2021 forward from June/July? Then start the 21/22 season earlier than usual, and finish it earlier, giving players a longer break before the World Cup 2022 (possibility to bring that slightly forward as well), which would give a longer break after the World Cup and start of 22/23 season?

Can't see next season starting until Autumn at the earliest. Sad but reality. If you're not starting until Autumn at the earliest then there's really no guarantee of fitting a full season in for 20/21, may as well finish 19/20 and the alter the rules of 20/21 and only play each team once for example, avoids many sticky legal situations.

Lrrr Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 7 minutes ago, Super said: I think you worry about this in a few months. Football is irrelevant. In the grand scheme of things of course it is, but those in power still need to discuss situations of what is going to/could happen. This naturally creates discussion amongst fans, to be honest seeing the news almost all the time you're awake at the moment over different platforms its nice to be able to talk about something else given the main subject at hand can be disheartening to read constantly.
