With a good manager (not I know my onions) and players in place before the pre-season I would fancy our chances for staying up. This season was a joke with only having kids for the first several games Good post, mate. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatanGreavsie Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 If someone with a magic wand gave me the choice of starting next year on -12 in L1 or having a season in L2 and getting promoted (in a revenge playoff final against Tranmere) I'd definitely go the latter. But, of course, there ain't any magic wands and promotion would not be guaranteed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season was a joke with only having kids for the first several games I wouldn’t be too sure about the embargo. It’s the same punishment as the points. So if the points can be applied it’s folly to assume the embargo wouldn’t restart. You may well be right but unless you have confirmation of that I wouldn’t count on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted May 8, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted May 8, 2020 The only fair way to decide the league table - average home support and average away support. I'd be quite happy not taking our place in the play offs though, safety first for fans and players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want Lincoln away on matchday 33 or something like that, we might be allowed in then! *FWIW I want a crack at L2 but mainly based on doing more of the 92, but if we cant actually go until 2021 its pointless and therefore keep us in L1 but on 0 points, please.

That would get the tv audience in. Not sure if it would be on a fan v fan basis, or maybe a tag team job - a fan, player, board member, manager (or assistant/head coach/director of football) and backroom staff on each team. If Kent Walton of the old World of Sport wrestling is still alive he could do the commentary: "So there we have it grapple fans, Sharon Brittan of Bolton triumphantly holding aloft the severed testicles of Rotherham United's manager Paul Warne. If I were Coventry's Mark Robins I'd be seriously worried about my family allowance for their upcoming quarter final clash. Have a good week 'til next week!".

I don’t think Leagues 1& 2 will play any games behind closed doors - what’s the point? Their main income is from match days, whether it’s season tickets or POD.

I dont know how they'd get by playing behind closed doors but I also cant see how it'd be feasible not to if PL and Championship gets 4, 5, 6 months down the road playing matches before L1 and 2 started again. Certainly have to do away with all cups if it went that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the season were null and voided, and I'm also pretty sure it won't be, then I imagine we'd still start with the points deduction but we'd be half way through the embargo.

RUREADY2ROLL Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Spectator sport will be back October latest as long as they don't substantially release the lockdown measures too quickly. The rate of infection is already low outside hospitals and care homes so another two months and we will be down to almost zero deaths per day. With the measures they are putting in they should be able to control it. So start the season end of September and hopefully we will still be in League 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErnestTurnip Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Watched a bit of that K-league on BBC before, closed doors, not allowed to talk on the pitch, subs/managers etc all in masks. Absolute gash, we can't possibly go down that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marple whites Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Fine - we were in league 2 in 88-89 so give us your worst and let’s go again and see where we end up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombwfc Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 From a Wanderers point of view I'd rather take the PPG route and go down, rather than re-do this season back on -12. By far the fairest thing to do however, would be null and void. Nobody can argue that they've been arbitrarily moved up or down, because nobody won or lost anything. And while we're at it, the Premier League clubs (particularly the six being granted a stay of execution) can help keep the bottom two tiers afloat until the crowds come back.
