I see the football season being null and void - no promotions or relegations.

That will only work if EFL (& PL) do the same.
The whole pyramid will need to agree.

Not good news for Barnet fans...
Aldershot players and staff now accepting reduced wages. Tip of the iceberg, I feel. :( :(

TV rights are already established so it'll never happen. Great idea in principle though.

If, as many suspect we will not be attending plainmoor again this season and the football league still suggesting the season could finish by playing the games behind closed doors, why not stream the matches at a rate of a tenner a time, the home team getting two thirds of the revenue, if you take a game like Notts county, while they may bring several hundred fans to an away fixture I would suggest several thousand of their fans would pay a tenner a time to watch their home town club, add that to our two thousand plus and it would bring in sufficient revenue to keep us and many like us afloat.

Hopefully the latest loan options announced by the govt today should give some reassurance to clubs.

I notice today that Barnet have given notice to all their staff from back office, players and management, they, like us have no revenue without the crowds and have stated they have done this to protect the club, I suspect they are the first of many in similar circumstances ,while Torquay may arguably had a few saleable assets in terms of players there value has now been reduced to zero in the short term, no football, no buyers, It may be that the season is already over and with no real guarantee of an August resumption I feel that the next season for us and many clubs above and below us will look very different.

Looking forward to the day that football resumes, (next season maybe), Covid-19 will still be around. So these points from SUSD (and others) will remain important - " . . . stewards touching multiple people and that any goal celebrations by the players are non contact."

Spitting should be a 'yellow card' offence in future - (it'll be NO loss to the game). Take care all . .

I doubt that the game Notts County will go ahead tomorrow but if it does I would expect the crowd to be well down. If it does I hope that the club suspend searches as we should haven't stewards touching multiple people and that any goal celebrations by the players are non contact.
