Rich Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 As per title. I've worked out a foolproof way to finish the season for all leagues, from Premier down to the fourth tier, there is no fifth tier. It's also a plan that I don't think anyone could object to on any sound grounds. Lower tiers could also adopt the format. I propose that all teams only play their home fixtures. Obviously it would still have to be behind closed doors but, think about it. There'd be no worry about social distancing from the opposition teams. Hopefully no injury or disciplinary problems. There'd be no need for teams to travel, so less expenses. You wouldn't get away supporters traveling and causing trouble. Here's the best one, we might get enough points to reach the play offs, if we can improve our home form. Obviously there'd have to be some sort of official observer, otherwise you'd get some teams cheating and saying they've won a game, instead of pinching a last minute equaliser to actually draw the game. Are there any other benefits you can suggest for this idea of mine? I'm thinking of putting it to the EFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to think of others more and less of ourselves and who we are in terms of money earned. Therefore, I suggest we put my above mini-rant into your proposal. The amended proposal would only change one word which is to substitute home with away! All fixtures are based on the remaining away games. It will be difficult to arrange! Consequently, is BCFC putting other teams first in finances and travel? Yes Of course this amendment has nothing to do with our away form.... not at all.... not in the slightest!
