windermereROYAL i think the logical thing to do would be postpone the leagues, then play the remaining games late May and June because I think Euro 2020 will be put off till next year.
Start next season in September and cancel the cup comps.


Its going to be very strange stopping the season for 2 months and restarting it isn't it? Agreed it might be the only option - but aren't they suggesting May is when it will peak here? Are we just giving up on trying to contain it at that stage?

Going to be strange with player contracts as well - I suppose do-able if we finish in June

Going to completely mess with my year's routines this virus :(


You cant stop it for 2 months.....its crazy......Many players wont have trained properly still, the virus may still be around and some players may contract it late, theres going to be some very bitter club owners and fans after this......

All FL games postponed, currently until weekend 3/4 April.

Stoke, Derby and Brentford games now to be rearranged.

Presuming the next thing could be the cancellation of the Euros and extension of league seasons.

Could be issues for non league clubs with cash flow if those leagues also do the same.

Sorry if anyone's asked this, what happens to our bets? I betted on Reading ending up in top half. If we don't get to finish the season at all will I get money back? If we had been 12th or above would I win anyway? Hoping it's the former!!!

Cancel the season now. I'd be happy with that.

In reality, given the predictions as to how long the virus is likely to be around for, I think we've seen the end of this season. Furthermore, I can't see any way that they will be able to implement promotion/relegation on the basis of a partially completed season and imagine the litigation if they did!

So at this troubling time, please try hard not to laugh at Leeds! :lol:

I see that's an archaic form of the past tense.

Thanks for educating me.

Thou shalt ne'er catch me making such an error again.

Sadly I don't think there is a chance in hell of it starting again in May, particularly if the Government have made the wrong call in going the opposite direction to what virtually every other country is doing.
