Its not like we're talking 10 games to finish the season, if they start a new season that's a commitment to 46 games with potentially no gate income and the need to get loads of new players on longish contracts, and get them all tested every week? Not going to happen. Me personally I think crowds will be back around September time on a reduced capacity basis, but yes even that will hit most lower league clubs the days of the longer contracts will be done be loans and kind of rent a player set up imo Quote

Johnnyrotten Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 Agreed, its by no means certain there'll be 24 teams by then. The mess would come if the season starts behind closed doors, or heavily reduced crowds, and a few clubs go to the wall mid season. Ideally every club would be presenting a business plan to the EFL to prove they can survive the season before they are included in the fixture list. Impractical though in the time that would be available between deciding when/how to restart and actually starting. The EFL is going to be a soap opera for the next year or 2, it would justify open top bus parades just for being in existence in 2022 never mind for winning anything. Quote

dave2980 Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 More than one game a day and not quite a game every single day but most days Quote
Lt. Aldo Raine Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Surely they'd have to have a break between matchdays? I'd thought there has to be a sense of there being separate rounds of fixtures. Quote
Roger_Dubuis Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 It seems that from June 17 - July 2 there are ten matches free on the BBC or Pick that don't involve Liverpool. I'm quite looking forward to watching some of the relegation battles and FA cup ties Quote
Steejay Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 I don’t give a fuck about any of them. Can’t wait for Barrow away. Quote

First 5 away games next season Tranmere, Barrow, Mansfield, Port Vale, Salford. Quote

To be honest though looking at the current L2 teams bar FGR (and who knows Vince might want a go), you could make a case for everywhere to have potential for a bumpy ride. Definitely big cheese. Maybe Bradford will reignite that non existent Twitter rivalry again. Quote
Biggish Dave Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Can see quite a few wanting a pop next season, maybe even Colchester Quote
