Total Lockdown

[drfchound]

Not if with our game in hand

Mate, two teams above us also have a game in hand.

[Janso]

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

It was only two weeks to begin with last time.

[anton123]

The way things are they may as well scrap the concept of a season lasting a s centen amount of time and just keep stopping and starting TIL all games are played even if it goes TIL next Christmas then when all is done av 6 weeks off and go again

The more lockdowns and chaos, the more EFL clubs will struggle and the more likely the top Prem clubs will be able to press ahead with their restructuring plans

that might be true but we cant slow this horrible thing to take total charge we need to stop it and stop it now, lives come befor any sport and money

[elmsallrover]

Will next week's cup game go ahead

[Ye-Aul-Tavern]

According to sky, the premier league and other "elite sports" can continue. This would mean the league would continue but not sure if FC United would come under this category?

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. 👍

Not if all the others win their game in hand

Actually we would only be three points off the top if we won our game in hand and Charlton and Sunderland won theirs too.
We could only be in the top six if one or both of Charlton or Sunderland failed to win their game in hand.

I can't see how the Football League can continue in a lockdown. It's not just about the players, it's about all the support staff for the games as well; groundstaff, media, stewards, ballboys etc.

The lockdown restrictions would prevent these people getting to fixtures let alone carrying out their matchday duties.

The fact is, much as we all love it and want to watch it, football just isn't an essential service. It shouldn't be given special treatment.

Statement tonight from the EFL .

I’d say groundstaff, media and stewards can all work quite easily while socially distancing. Members of the media can travel alone and have a whole stadium to space out. The players cannot Social distance but these are elite physical specimens and not at high risk.
The masses need a distraction or they will find other things to entertain themselves which maybe won’t be as covid safe.

[DRNaith]

The wording was something along the lines of, if you can work from home you should do. Footballers can't work from home, so maybe it will all continue

[VivaRovers]

"...football, beer, and above all gambling, filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult".

Horse racing is being allowed to continue.

[drfchound]

Golf is probably one of the easiest sports to apply social distancing to.

The rules say professional sport is allowed. FC Unoted are semi professional so does that only there professional players can take part 😉😉

I’m really hoping golf can continue even if only in 2 balls. I don’t enjoy the wet courses but at least it’s something to look forward to playing.

Stick to Thorne If you want to get better, if you can hit the fairways there you can hit them anywhere, a short course, bit can punish you if you are not accurate, played it loads of times, only a mile or so down the road from me, don’t like Kingswood much though

I absolutely love Thorne mate.

The only reason we’ve gone kingswood more is you can play 9 holes which is all I can manage most of the time with work and a 3yo.

[Prez]

Kingswood is dreadful. Bulit on clay. Just joined Bawtry, fairly long but back 9 is easy.

Thorne is also built on clay but is more established than Kingswood with much better drainage

You could probably hit the car park of Thorne from one of the greens at Kingswood with a 5 iron over the railway and trees 😂

[mushRTID]

I agree kingswood isn’t great but back in May I could hardly swing a club so it was ok get started with and it’s cheap.

Will look at Bawtry
