Preston was due to be the last game of the season. Picture the scenario City need to get something from the Preston game to confirm the play offs. it's hard not to imagine fans congregating outside the stadium in anticipation and similarly in the play offs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nottingham Forest away is also a possible six pointer though maybe they're a bit too far ahead? Would have to check! We're often in last two seasons better on the road though...no fans will negate that for home and away sides though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) Wealth vs health is an interesting one. I'm conflicted as to whether behind closed doors football such a risk. With fans different story but they will be tested regularly, they will be in a very clean environment, a heavily sanitised environment- with the right precautions I think it's one of the lower risk things to restart. Fans would have to do their bit and stay away though, just stay away! PPG to settle if interrupted again IMO, ie whatever PPG is at the time of 2nd stoppage.

Will the three month hiatus for coronavirus be treated as the “pre-season”? I would guess that all clubs will want at least a month long transfer window; before new season starts ? Therefore September at the earliest, would be my guess. Edited May 31, 2020 by The Gasbuster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 I’m starting to understand and have sympathy for Liverpool fans. It began to dawn on me just how unjust it would be, for this four year journey with Lee Johnson to be robbed of it’s 11th place finish. A sickening blow indeed, but thankfully now a reality again 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that was in today's Times. Got mentioned on the Sky TV Sunday Supplement programme. Would be incredible to win the play- offs and be playing in the Prem perhaps within two weeks. What sort of odds would you get on staying up?! Some talk of the transfer window being open to October. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRL Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 ******* crazy decision. Everyone 2 metres apart please.. apart from footballers, get touch tight spit and sweat all over each other for 90 minutes. Noooo it's its perfectly safe it's nothing to do with money!

Awful decision. I hope there are lots of players who refuse to play. Couldn't find on the right way round, but the equation is similar. In an ideal case anyway. Players have had it quite easy in this pandemic. Yeah, the Bundesliga has been terribly beset by Covid 19. Two weeks in now, the next few weeks will be instructive but not heard of anyone being ruled out due to Covid in the last fortnight yet. Got little sympathy personally. If you can point to a spike in infection in the Bundesliga...be my guest. Edited May 31, 2020 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And remind me again what the social distancing guidelines and measurement is again... for everyone? I was possibly a bit harsh but Germany has done very well in this pandemic- us, not so much., 7-14 days isn't it? Yeah, ideal to hold fire but it resumed IIRC a fortnight ago and there seems to have been little yet. Still worth seeing in a few days but I thought it was 14 then it's so far so good at this stage... I get that bit, but it's the same in Germany- I believe football will be one of the safer environments. In a stadium, in the air- not celebrating goals in the same way, no spitting surely- there will be steps taken. Nonetheless the players have had quite an easy pandemic- so I can't get too sympathetic on some levels. The environment of a football match will be amongst the safest IMO. My tone of irritation wasn't aimed at you so much, more at the thought that rather cossetted individuals would refuse in good numbers- when fans will not receive what they have paid for, deferral not cuts etc- feels like a lot of footballers have had it too easy.
