Roadrunner Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 All matches on the last day of the season, must be played and ko times the same. So no one gets an advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 1 hour ago, Dolman_Stand said: I can see crowds being back before the end of this calender year, one option available to the club maybe that only season ticket holders (that have bought them to date or up to a maximum number of say 8 - 10,000) for next season could be allowed within the stadium as a starting point. You would then need to space those people out i.e. only one in every three seats are to be used, this would obviously mean moving people from the seats they have paid for in the interim and there would also need to be heavy distancing restrictions around the concourse areas but its a possibility. Bet my seat in the Dolman is next to a cardboard cut-out. A cut out with a weak bladder, a bus to catch and a putrid arse. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 They will be played in the intended order. Match week 38 through to Match week 46. We could end up playing 12 games in 41 days .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Believe this was the intended schedule prior to the hiatus. If they go in order then keep an eye out for the Notts Forest game, and then of course the final day v Preston which as others have mentioned could be an all or nothing shoot out. We finally threw it away in the third to last game v Derby last season. Maybe we'll go better this time around.

OldlandReddies Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Think Preston could fall away. Their form was very poor over the last few games before shutdown. I'd be more afraid of the likes of Cardiff and Swansea pipping us for a play off place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an article on Bristol Rugby in which they said they could accommodate 10,000 inside AG, social distancing obviously and one way systems around the concourse.

Maybe but I can’t see it personally, it’s still way to many people in one place.

Mr Popodopolous Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) I see Sheffield Wednesday are moaning about the start date. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52907396 Wouldn't be anything to do with the EFL hearing meant to be in July, would it. Looking at some survey, Villa fans also would prefer the season not to resume. Think Sheffield Wednesday fans not mad keen either. Could be wrong but most clubs- focusing back on our League now- as clubs (fans who knows) are broadly favourable aren't they?

Hunsupport Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Cheer up everyone, the time is closer than You think when fans can go to a football game again. Our cup final starts in 10 mins with 10.000 (!) fans at Puskás Aréna. It will seem as a very few in this huge stadium but still its 10.000 on a sporting event. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8385597/Premier-League-NOT-offered-EFL-clubs-financial-help.html Looks like the PL won't at this time be offering much help-indeed it's a cut in solidarity payments. This cut is surely due to the advance we saw for part of last seasons solidarity payments earlier in the year. The lack of help is a) Due to cash flow on their part b) Same as usual PL or c) Perhaps leverage being put out there early for any discussions that may arise over an EFL wage cap, or exclusion of parachute payments from income for FFP purposes or a general abolition. Seems reading down the page, the 25% cut is part of contingencies, and again cashflow as I thought- in case the PL have to reimburse broadcasters if the season curtailed. Parachute payments may also need some repayments or partial repayments. I stand corrected on one bit- apparently EFL clubs did NOT accept the advance on solidarity payment earlier this year/season.

Lrrr Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Something needs to be done otherwise the EFL is ****ed, Wycombe have told some staff after furlough ends in October they'll have to seek new jobs. Clubs talking about finding it difficult about playing out this season without fans income, what about the whole of next season IF fans aren't allowed back in? This can't be a question for later and needs to be looked at now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
