Can I just say, then, Martin, just what is the EFL doing about it? Do you think they are going to let most of the Clubs in leagues 1 and 2 go to the wall? If that is truly the case, then it kind of underlines where the EFL’s loyalties lie. Or am I missing something fundamental?Everyone knows there’s plenty of money in the EPL ( Chelsea have already made a huge signing for next season, the value of which could have eased The 46 teams problems in leagues 1 and 2). But there is quite a chunk to be had in the Championship, as we’ve experienced ourselves in recent times. But the single most damaging fact of the matter is there is this totally lob-sided reward for Clubs getting relegated from the Premiership. Until something is done about that, I can’t see much changing at lower league level. Just what are the EFL doing about the knock-on effects of this pandemic on (especially) the Clubs in leagues 1 and 2? These are unprecedented times and it calls for unprecedented measures. Where and what are they?
This could be the perfect time for the board to suss out either new owners or selling part of the club to the supporters to invest in . Or not in either case but I’ll keep my STs going for next year any ...in for penny and all that !

The response has been overwhelming!When we first sat down to talk about it we looked around at what other clubs had done and decided to do it even better. We still had to wait for the EFL to decide what the outcome of the season was going to be, but once that was done it was just a matter of putting things in place.What happens now, and in the next month or two, depends very much on how we as supporters can continue to support the club. The budget, players and staff being retained, will all be shaped by what we can do with no football to watch. It really does depend on us to a much larger degree than it has before.The good thing is the response has been really positive if social media is anything to go by. Well done all!
Tbh nobody would real want to buy drfc as we don’t have anything worth selling. Can’t sell cantley park or the stadium the players are only worth what some other club is willing to pay.If someone does want to buy the club they would need to invest 10s of millions to get to the premiership then sell potentially for some sort of profit
