Distancing measures introduced by government and being practiced in supermarkets etc:- could be enforced for up to the end of the year nobody knows we're this is going or when it will end, if and when football and sports return can't see it being the same as when it was shut down.

What’s your take on the contracts that expire 30 June if the season extends into July ?

Which July Twenty Eight 2020 or 2021 this is serious **** I think in the coming weeks football authorities will have some alarming issues to deal with unfortunately I can see a lot of footballers being out of work.

if that case goes the same way for sporting events then this season may carry on till 2021 before it gets back underway just to finish it. for supporters it will go two ways. one that they,ll watch any form of football and others will have lost the habit for life. at the moment i,m bored to death and it isn,t like summer where you are used to lack of football anyway. in history football has only been around a relatively short time and people must have found other ways on their 1 day off a week to amuse themselves.

Aware of the Rangers "issue" but never saw the paperwork
Not aware of anything with P
The only one I was asked to "sort" sat in a drawer for 6 months as the FA and EFL said such agreements were of no interest to them. They couldn't enforce them and it would be a private matter between the 2 parties

That's the uncharted area which would cause the main issues, hence the thoughts are to conclude the season, if at all possible prior to then

Will that be possible or sensible?? No idea but reducing the risks and closing as much down as possible seems the only solution at present.

Are people still renewing or buying season tickets with all this uncertainty?

andyd · 21-03-2020, 15:02

Championship clubs talking about capping players wages at £6000 a week to help them stay afloat during this crisis.

Steady away, which is a massive help to the club with no other regular income

Magnificent gesture

Hi family-hope you are all free of this pesky virus. With talk of declaring the season 'Null and Void', it made me wonder if the decision to expel Bury FC becomes 'Null and Void' as well? Anyone know?

pifco · 21-03-2020, 19:52

I've not thought of that Kiwi but to me it has been a dreadful season, to start with the problems at Bury and Bolton caused a great deal of uncertainty over League 1 and how many teams were going to be releagated and then when Bury finally went I felt very sorry for them as we had been in similiar a position to them on several occasions. The season started without Billy Kee and then realized that he would probaly not return, then McConville was seriouly injured and, whatever you think about him, we are not the same team without him. Finally Coronavirus comes and ruins what was already a difficult season. So yes I am missing the football and feeling pretty down.
