September
Crowds by October
You heard it here first!
I read in one of the Sunday’s end of September mentioned which seems a bloody long time but I suppose the later it starts the possibility of some spectators being allowed. On radio today, talksport, 10% of capacity at first then slowly progressing from there was mentioned.
But on the flip side we can recruit and get set long before they can knowing what division we are inWe’re going to have to get our pre season spot on as we’ll be disadvantaged from the start. Along with Rotherham, we’ll not have played competitively since March - that’ll be six months if the season starts in September. Championship clubs are about to get 9 league games under their belts taking them up to August, plus the play offs for 4 teams of course. A massive advantage for teams already in the Championship.
That is one point of view. The championship sides will have a 56 game season for most and a 58 or 59 game season for the play off teams. Our season will be 46 games and fresh.We’re going to have to get our pre season spot on as we’ll be disadvantaged from the start.

That’s very true, and towards the end of the season it may well start to show amongst some teams. The important thing is to hit the ground running as the rest of the league will already be raring to go.That is one point of view.

Time will tell.

Could go either way couldn't it? Be great for players having a break-and with a pretty young squad with a core playing most games, that should help us. Will help Jodi with giving him longer to recover and get up to speed with the group in pre-season rather than rushing anything. My slight concern is that some of the older players might take a while to grease the joints and dust the cobwebs off, but we don't have that many of them.I wouldn’t estimate the value of having a long lay off.
Your point made me think of something I hadn’t considered: how long of a break will the teams get between the end of this season and the end of next?
The lack of a good break could seriously impact teams with injuries, fatigue and so on.
