That the players are off until May 16th. The article says there will be a short pre-season starting May 16th.
6th June Return ? (8 Viewers)

- Start date
Ah wasn't aware of that. Amazing there has been so many problems with it this season then. If you can get a reliable high quality service clubs can subsidise a lot of any lost ticketing revenue through streaming charges.

They have no idea, they learn from the virus as it rolls out, there could be a 2nd wave
We could well be fighting this virus ‘as and when it rears it’s head for years to come.
Would be ideal for SISU, no backlash over another season at StAns due to supporter restrictions, starve Wasps of income for another year

I think the playoffs should be abandoned, don't see the point of a playoff final at Wembley in front of no fans. They should make it the top three go up automatically just for this season.

If they are going to play the remaining games I think they should honour the existing format. No fans is a shame at any of the games.
I think they'll keep it as it is, will be grievance from teams in 6th, 7th, 8th that they didn't get a fair crack.
Could make semi's just 1 leg being played at the higher seed's ground although with no fans would that really make a difference? Doubt final would be played at Wembley also, neutral venue that suits both teams somewhere with a decent pitch with similar distances for both teams to travel. Could play all semis and final at neutral grounds in the space of 3-4 days similar to the final 4 of a world cup.
I think the whole behind closed doors thing could cause issues in certain areas however, try telling Leeds and Liverpool fans to stay in their own family household when they achieve their inevitable promotion/title.

No it wouldnt but I was just making a point.
Just because your pal something doesn't make you one.
I also have a few friends that support Villa now that would matter!

Even if games are played "behind closed doors", is everyone involved going to be cleared of being a carrier? Players, referees, linos, ball boys, etc. And I think that gobbing a greenie onto the grass or snorting out holding a nostril, should be a booking offence or stronger. I just think there's too much at stake.

Spitting is always something I never got. Even when I played, I never felt the need to spit for any reason.

There was talk of isolating players in World Cup style camps with no contact with those outside their camp. You might just about be able to do that for the Prem but I think extending it down to all Football League clubs is unworkable. They don't have the facilities or the money to do it.

Understand that but I was (and am) someone who produces alot of phlegm and it needs to be cleared. It isn't nice but it needs to come out.

That might go a short way to allay fears, but footy is a contact sport. Are players not going to want to go in for tackles because of a fear of contracting the virus? I know I'd be concerned.

Meetings around his charitable foundations mostly. Said some pretty stupid things about his prostitution conviction. So many prominent people are connected to Epstein in such a way it's hard to know who knew what. Can't take everyone with the same brush unless there is proof they were also involved. Seems he was pretty close to Donald Trump too, amongst others, for example.

The only teams that could be aggrieved are those who have played less games. Otherwise if everybody has played the same amount there is no disadvantage over anybody else.
There would be if they scrap playoffs and just promote top 3

It’s no difference in reality then if the season is actually voided anyway for those teams. I’m surprised the Scottish leagues have (almost) got over the line. Whereas the non leagues have most clubs complaining the season has been expunged.

Not necessarily true. Hypothetically if you had played all of the top half and your remaining games were majority at home to the lesser teams than you are more likely to be shafted by season finishing by someone who has the majority of games to play away against tougher opposition.
