Coronovirus

The National League have today asked the FA if the season can now be finished main reason being quoted so that they can look at contracts and prepare financially for whenever football starts up again. I for one think they are proposing a sensible way forward mainly because if football doesn't act soon as businesses a lot will just not survive.
 
seems to me a sensible way to go for small clubs, how will it work for the lads who are on loan.?
 
I personally think football at all levels should make the sensible decision season null and void which as every day that passes becomes more obvious due to players health regarding behind closed doors games were does the 2 metres rule work, officials and club employees well being forget Liverpool won't win it so what people's lives at stake here make the right IMHO decision now.

I would rather finish this season - at some stage - and lose next season to be honest :)

When I say lose next season, I mean find a way of shortening it, 1 round of games maybe??

Do something with the cups??

Granted, we do not know when football can start again, so it is hard to make plans, but null and voiding what has gone, would be the last thing I would vote for... just my opinion :)

The best scenario would be for the outbreak just to blowover but it's looking unlikely the FA,EFL and whoever else control football have to make a decision soon otherwise a lot of clubs will fold. If that's the case then whatever system they conjour up will be irrelevant anyway, null and void would be best way to protect the critical clubs.By the way Germany,s big clubs offering big money to help lower leagues their can,t see that happening here unfortunately.

You are more than likely correct, but, maybe, just maybe, this terrible situation, might just focus people...... let us hope :)

STAY SAFE PEOPLE
 
Interesting article in today's LET about Bacup Borough who play in the North West Counties league their chairman Brent Peters who talks a lot of sense says it takes around £65,000 a year not making a profit to run Bacup for a season.No revenue streams coming in he says Bacup will only survive if his personal business can stop operational but he remains optimistic.
 
It's been announced this afternoon that all leagues below the National League & National Leagues North & South have agreed to end the season now & for all results to be expunged ready for a fresh start once this nightmare is over

Personally think that they have done the right thing, Barrows manager saying that they should be allowed promotion to the football league otherwise they might not survive but apparently their chairman has thrown the preverbial kitchen sink financially on gaining promotion thus gambling with the club,s future this and other arguments like it further up the pryamid shouldn't sway authorities decision,s and null and void this season and start again with what clubs remain and it's safe to do so is the correct way.

Barrow might still be going up. This decision only applies to leagues below the National Leagues.
 
Whilst I can see the sense in that decision, does that mean Bolton start on -12 next season, otherwise this seasons punishment will mean thay have got away with it.

Does it honestly really matter I love football as much as the next guy or woman but get real NHS staff and essential workers will have to put their lives on the line everyday they go to work while this crap lasts football really doesn't matter at present it will hopefully resume at some point in what format will do for most fans I would hope.

While I agree with you Andy that, putting things in perspective, football is way down on any list of priorities I also think that it does us all good to still discuss things as we usually would, to give us that bit of normality in times which are definitely the most 'un-normal'
