We've played Rotherham twice. In this scenario we would have 3 games to play
Would guess it would work out that most teams had 3 or 4 games but I'm not going to work them all out!
So it would be a tournament of 14 games per club but we'd start having played 10 (W4, D5, L1) on 17 points. Oddly our 4 remaining games would all be at home against Rotherham, Oxford, Peterborough and Wycombe.
If the mini-tournament idea is being considered, and I'm not sure this isn't just something Sky have made up, then I see no reason we should play games we have already played this season.
I think the problem is that if there was a shortage of testing equipment available and it was used up by footballers, I think there would quite rightly be uproar.
How about if any team is >6 points ahead of the play off places based on points / game (two wins ahead being the logic) , they go up automatically. Next 8 play 6 or 7 games depending on what is needed to get two more teams. So 4 games in R 1 2 in R 2 and final if needed.All the teams would have to agree to it, can’t see it happening myself seems they have the promote 2 and no relegation how would that work out for Bolton??? And also no bury..... seems not all the info has been released!
The number of cases so far wouldn’t come into it, they’d have to do testing prior to each game, I’d imagine you’d have players demanding it. I can’t remember what it is but the estimated number of tests needed for every game across all the leagues is actually quite high.There have been hardly any cases among clubs in our league or others. The number of people at each game would just be players, officials and some staff-perhaps 50?
this is why i think Premier league will play on, EFL will notThe number of cases so far wouldn’t come into it, they’d have to do testing prior to each game, I’d imagine you’d have players demanding it.

Take your football specs off and it’s not hard to see why they’d be anger amongst the general public about it.
I agree, unfortunately...I think our main hope is going to have to be PPG based on home and away.this is why i think Premier league will play on, EFL will not
323 people needed to run a premier league game ( i think that was the number) including broadcasting it
There are benefits to society for keeping the premier league going, I dont think the same will be said for league 1
The problem with pure pints/game is that we know it doesn't work so simply in real life.
That's possibly because not many have been testedThere have been hardly any cases among clubs in our league or others. The number of people at each game would just be players, officials and some staff-perhaps 50?
As some have played 36 then just play so everyone plays 36 games. We would be champions and it would sort out relegation and the play offs and I think that also means Scumderland wouldn't make the play offs.
It was more of a joke than an actual solution.How would that work? Some of the games in hand would be against teams who have already played more games therefore making it pointless and never ending
Wycombe and Doncaster have played 34 games this season and played each other twice already. Same with us and Rochdale

It’s not so much about logistics but more that if you’ve got the general public who aren’t being tested for whatever reason but footballers are it’s going to cause anger, which is entirely understandable.I can understand the logistical challenges but I also think it can work.
How did they manage to lay they’re hands on that amount of tests ‘got to be at least 25 tests there,That's possibly because not many have been tested
Portsmouth tested all their players after they had been exposed to Mikel Arteta and 5 were positive although most were asymptomatic
You would expect all the talk to be about them though, it’s just whether or not we are being affordedIt’s not so much about logistics but more that if you’ve got the general public who aren’t being tested for whatever reason but footballers are it’s going to cause anger, which is entirely understandable.
The best we can hope for is PPG, IMO. League 1 is not going to be a priority for the footballing authorities, all of the talk is about the PL and the £££.
They will of bought them from a pharmaceutical company same as the NHS. Robins said the club had bought 10 years in case they were needed.How did they manage to lay they’re hands on that amount of tests ‘got to be at least 25 tests there,
How come the NHS have the capacity to test more than they actually are ‘when there are stillThe NHS can currently test more than they actually are, the problem people are having is getting to the test centres to be tested which could be 50 miles + away.
The Coventry testing is at the Ricoh I thinkHow come the NHS have the capacity to test more than they actually are ‘when there are still
Frontline medical staff who can’t get the test, surely they aren’t required to travel 50 miles to a
Test centre ‘I’d always presumed they would be tested in the hospital they work at.
Up to recently tests were either at hospitals where NHS staff and patients were tested or at regional sites where care home staff, GPs and others working at at surgeries, pharmacies and other front line staff could go to be testedHow come the NHS have the capacity to test more than they actually are ‘when there are still

In the case of L1, Cov go up, next eight play knockout but you don't need a final as two places up for grabs. In that case 9 teams would have been involved, City plus 8, and this should pick up any club with a realistic chance of getting to the play offs. Max 7 games so two stadiums and all done in a week

Has PPG been used anywhere yet in the world? All I’ve seen is void
The Scottish Championship promoted and relegated but not without any controversy as one team could still have stayed up
I agree totally with what you are saying regarding players being tested in advance of the public but they too will need and have as much right to be tested as much as you or me. The fact is giving the players the tests can be seen to be a positive sign the country is now coming out of this by sport being played and providing a positive mental boost to many.It’s not so much about logistics but more that if you’ve got the general public who aren’t being tested for whatever reason but footballers are it’s going to cause anger, which is entirely understandable.

I’m 99% sure the games will take place in June and July when hopefully the infection rate has gone down to an ‘acceptable’ level.Do people seriously think the leagues won’t be finished here ?
Come on lads not a chance they will be voided

I’ve stated before that my concern is loss of momentum.
