Meeting with Government on Thursday, clubs on Friday, but I think you may be disappointed about a decision shortly afterwards if my updated info is correct.

The EFL do have a history of not being able to make a decision.This could be something else that drags on and on.
Am i the only one who thinks unless we have an antidote/vaccination it will just re-occur until this is found? Social distancing and other measures such as a form of lockdown will be the only way we can stem the death toll, far more important than whether i see matches i paid for via my ST or when/whether i get to see next seasons. I have always been a Rovers fan out and out but this is MUCH bigger....

The spread of the virus will go up and down relative to the relaxation and re implementation of lockdown measures.We could easily get to a point where football had restarted but had to stop again.

My guess is it will, later this year, but with sever restrictions in place.It will also look different to how it looks today, fewer players, lower salaries etc.

Talk about contriving a situation to suit your own means and ambitions lol:https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52670556
