Late again Newsy - I think most of us knew that we'd suspended our footballing activities after the Hull City game.....
Let the music and comedy threads commence... Come on, we'll all need something to keep our spirits up, if there's no League One to look forward to.
That's made my decision to not go tomorrow now. Doesn't say much for the prime minister that yesterday public events can go ahead and less that 24 hours later the football league ignore his advice.
To be fair to the buffoon (and it does pain me to say that) I think this decision has very little to do with concerns about large gatherings and more to do with the number of players and others within the game who are or appear to be contracting the virus.
No idea what is going to happen now - Hard to see things being much different in 3 weeks time. Probably the best idea is to knock the Euros back a year and extend the season after a longish break maybe restarting in May - delay the start of next season and possibly drop the cup competions next year - though it would be good to keep the FA cup Scrapping this season isnt fair on anyone - neither is deciding the season with games never played or arbirary 0-0 draws or similar so the right thing to do is find a safe time to complete this season - then figure out how to do next year- if it has to start late then so be it. We could for one season scrap the playoffs and just have the top 3 though it would be better to keep them if possible
two days ago put bet (tenner) on us NOT to be relegated - odds 7/2 …………... (Odds on being relegated were 1/6)
