Traf Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 I think it's more to try and instil some hope rather than an attempt at reality. Quote

For now we all have the prospect of losing around a quarter of the season, which is bad enough, but if all this had happened 6 months ago, there would be a very real chance of losing the entire season. Absolute financial carnage for most clubs from the Prem to the lowest semi pro clubs. So its disastrous for the rugby clubs to be losing upto 90% of their season. From the outside looking in, it could be curtains. County Cricket clubs presumably in the same boat, presumably every chance they won't play this year and Lancs probably wont get any Test match income. Quote
radcliffe white Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 All football off till at least 30th April Quote

Take Hunt Off Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 Cant see this season being completed as the 30/04 date will probably get pushed back again . Questions are: Will they scrub it & go back to 'as you were' or come up with some crap plan that relegates us ? Can we survive financially in the scuppered season scenario ? Will I , being a owd tawt , survive the virus anyway ?? Quote

birch-chorley Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Talk of finishing the season whenever they can Let’s say August they get back together for training ahead of the season re starting in September You've then got 2-3 months of football to fit in which takes you to Xmas, before a mid season break so clubs can get themselves set for a new season When are you starting the following season, March? Likeky have another round of social distancing when this virus kicks off again mid winter Quote

Johnnyrotten Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 We've got to be realistic, there's not going to be any football this year. Even if the virus is clearing in a few months, what government is going to say its OK for 50,000 fans to go to a match? And as said above, if there's likely to be a further outbreak during winter, its even less likely that they'll speed that up by encouraging crowds to gather. Best scenario is the virus is clearing by say Sep/Oct, enough to mean a winter increase wouldn't be a huge setback to the underlying trend, and by this time next year the country is moving on from it and gradually normalising. Football (and rugby etc) from March 2021 so that this season would simply end a year late, no need for messing about with starting a new season in winter. Quote

If that's how it pans out we would be out of the embargo before the transfer window for the first season in League 2 Quote

Zico Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 never mind a new football calendar, reckon we'll be going BC and AC when all this is done Quote
