Its needed for point D, any teams upper margin of error that would see them finish 6th against other teams actual would see them invited to the play off tournament as there's a decent chance they could still get to the play offs seeing out the season. This would probably mean in the championship we'd be involved in a play off tournament given how close to Preston we are. In reality its to pander to the likes of DMaC so they support the idea because the idea includes no relegation as the leagues will need a solution to be applied should the league not be able to finish the season (second wave, localised lockdown stopping too many areas) and the likes of DMaC and other chairman/owners of teams around them would favour a plan that gives them a shot of play offs. So you might end up with anyone down to maybe Cardiff in 9th who lay a claim to playoffs. What happens then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea is 3rd to 9th then enters some form of play off competition, as said its to try and appeal to as many teams in league 1 as possible to save their ass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much, there's no way to please everyone, if her suggested in the champ included Cardiff you'd get arguments from Blackburn about why they should miss out being 1 point behind Cardiff if they hypothetically had an easier run in etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne allisons tongues Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 If it was in championship with margin of error I think it would go down to Swansea in 11th. Derby in 12th 6 pts behind already so would miss out. Think in L1 Doncaster in 9th would be as far you can go. Ipswich in 10th 6 pts off already so would just miss out.

zombie Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Assuming the season restarts, which is looking more and more and likely, does anyone know if the club has made plans for our away game transport? Obviously there isn’t any chance to stay overnight, so good planning for games like the Boro one is paramount. Obviously more planning is required for Blackburn, Boro and Forest than Swansea. After playing 90 minutes in 30 degrees the worst thing the players could do is sit on a coach for 6 hours. They’ll need to probably make stops, at least one, maybe two for a stretch, I’m sure our scientific approach and staff will have thought of everything. Good recovery is essential anytime, especially when the games will be coming thick and fast. I really hope for the longer trips they have considered tour buses, no bands are using them this summer obviously, and they have the ideal space/capacity for social distancing and space for players to be comfortable on their return to Bristol. I trust our staff and club to consider most things, hopefully they have this, modern tour buses are perfect for what we require, unless Steve can fly us up some how. There might be a finite supply in he country, no need to get in a bidding war with prem clubs if we can secure them early. Anyone got any info on our plans or contacts in the tour bus industry?

Bournemouth was last week! Probably in the same way that normal folk who have been following the rules have caught the virus. From the 3 rounds of testing, I’m sure the total number of players or staff who have tested positive is still less than the number of players who tested positive in just the first round of testing in Germany.

Lrrr Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Phil Thompson saying there has to be a limit to the amount of cases of the virus a club has before postponing fixtures. I hate that I have to question the ethics of football teams but odds on a team in the drop zone saying a lot of their players have symptoms and are isolating.... Remember Spurs years ago when most of their squad went down with some sort of illness which cost them a top 4 spot, nothing made about that then and was tough luck.

Yes, assuming safety / transmission isn’t compromised, I say they are treated like injured players. In most cases they’ll be back within two weeks...or quicker with a negative test. Sounds a bit harsh, but that’s why you have a squad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunsupport Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Well as a big surprise (as literally in every country they state that maybe fans can't be at the games even next season) the Hungarian government announced that from THIS Friday, 30/05 fans can go to outdoor events with limitations. Every second row has to be closed and only every 3rd seat can be taken in the opened rows, so it means that around 4000 fans can be at an Ashton gate sized stadium. Logistics for this has to be prepared of course but maybe a few ST holders can watch live footy as early as next Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daored Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Out of interest if a player tests positive and with the new test & trace system in place: ‘If your test comes back positive, you will be asked to give details of people you have been in "close contact" with. That is defined as people you have been within two metres of for more than 15 minutes without protective equipment. Those people who have been in close contact with you will be contacted by NHS Test and Trace and told to isolate for 14 days, even if they are asymptomatic.’ Phase two of 'Project Restart' will see players "train as a group and engage in tackling while minimising unnecessary close contact", the league said. If a player from Club A has a positive result, does that mean effectively a number of players will need to isolate for 14 days who have been training in a group with said player?

Well under the guidelines I'd say they probably haven't been within 2 metres of a particular person for more than 15 minutes overall in a session?
