That’s a very good question Vicar.

Will a national lockdown actually mean a total and complete lockdown or will professional sport be allowed to continue.

If it does mean TOTAL, will this season be completed in full, because any further lockdowns in the new year will put the EFL and Premier League season in serious jeopardy.
Financially this would be the death nell for dozens of clubs unless an appropriate financial rescue package is put in place.

Over to the Premier League and the EFL to get their fingers out and come to a solution that is fair and proper with the interest of all 4 pro leagues and the National leagues.

Any one holding their breath? The oxygen is about to run out on so many clubs within weeks i fear.

On t radio this morn, it said the prem was safe due to the regular testing of the players and officials, and lockdown actually makes it safer as there's less folk walking around. How the teams outside the prem will be effected, who knows...

Are we in the playoffs?

Game in hand so yes probably.

Wembley here we come. Can we play Posh please. Would just love to beat them with a controversial penalty in the 94th minute.

My view is that if it's safe and responsible then it should continue .

We need something to look forward to and keep our spirits up ........... yes I know ...... but you get the gist of where I'm coming from

That would be a serious test of whether the Premier League actually care one jot about the clubs in the EFL.

Mmmmm, is this another thing that could be added to the health or economics argument?

Yes prem clubs all get tested but the players get that much money 💰 they think they can go and do anything they want and they are getting the virus by doing it. And championship teams down playing without testing is causing a lot of the virus spread

And as fate as something to look forward to just let’s all look forward to a life befor anything else

I'm sure I read a headline somewhere that 6 or 8 lower league clubs have been bailed out already this season by EFL?

That would be a serious test of whether the Premier League actually care one jot about the clubs in the EFL.

I think the last 7 months have proven that they don't, unfortunately.

I think we know they don’t care Alias. They have shown their true colours already.
Well the so called big 6 don’t care.

I think many clubs who have spent considerable time in the Championship and lower over the last 25 years probably can see the bigger picture.
I would imagine they genuinely want to help the EFL clubs if given the opportunity to have a fair way of distributing funds across all 72 clubs and i would hope the 3 national leagues also.

It’s not just the Championship clubs though is it.
You will know that Scunny have had big problems recently with Covid.
On Thursday they only had seven players available for training.
This situation is really becoming a big issue in football again.

After all the work to keep sport up and running I’d be very surprised that they could justify any lock down !

As it stands yes, two teams above us also have a game in hand.

Even if cancelled they would not have any promotion or relegation I doubt, surley they would have to be way past half way in the season

I don’t think any of us were being serious about a final league table after 10 games.

They should have come up with a plan in the event of this happening again so we all knew what would be happening if the season was halted at any time. There could have been different criteria once certain parts of the season had been passed.

Instead, we will all be left guessing again.

But it won’t happen as it’s only for a month

adamtherover · « **Reply #29 on** October 31, 2020, 06:26:21 pm by adamtherover »

Win the game in hand, and we r only 3 pts off top, I'm sure we would all have took that at the start of the season. 👍
