No football for up to 4 months

[Nero]

Following through on this mornings announcement on over 70's self isolating for up to 4 months in the coming weeks. The obvious implication is that there won't be any mass gatherings for that period of time.

Theres no way that the government would tempt the werther suckers by rearranging us v Forest etc. 

I know we could close the South but away fans would have to mingle.

Seriously, its gonna be a long long time before we see sport again in the UK.

Only a little bit longer than the usual summer break with no World Cup or euro competition. I’m sure people would cope

You're probably right. It is what it is and we all need to do as we're advised. We all know people who need protecting and that's what we must do.

Think they’re showing bowls on some channels mate 

 

Have you got sky? I’m sure they will be showing 24hr loops of premier league years for the next few months

if it's on sky it's more likely to be b@11s than bowls.

And according to Boris last week, we're about 4 weeks behind Italy in terms of number of infections. If that's true, we could be looking at beginning of June for us.

Another day without football !

 

Found a lady sitting on my sofa a few moments.

 

Apparently she’s my wife.

 

Seems pleasant enough - I think we’re going to get on quite well

The great irony after all this is that big benefactors like DC (however chaotic and controversial) will be a Godsend to the EFL and especially smaller clubs.  Restrictions will be lifted and the EFL will welcome money into the game however it comes. 

[Swiss Toni]

It will be the end of the season. Won’t see any football again until next season at least. If they start up football again in 3-4 months time it wouldn’t work as the majority of our squad will either be out of contract or returning to their parent clubs before that date meaning we couldn’t field a team.

[S36 OWL]

We havnt seen any football since August at Hillsbro, so another four months won't make any difference. 

[handworth52]

I don't see there will be any sport by august and maybe not at all this year. I get that there is nowhere near enough respirators , but with sensible actions which don't include locking us all away for months life can get back to normal . I also don't agree with some nonsense about restarting this season in sept then starting next season in January just to suit fifa and there bl**dy world cup . just wont work . looks to be best case scenario would be starting again with same teams in same league in august . if the predicted 500000 dieing in uk is true then why haven't 5 million died in china? already?

Was reading yesterday that premier league clubs will be fine as fan income only covers 10% of their season income 

 

League 1, league 2 will be the worst affected 

Time for the fa, EFL and Premier league to step up and help out the lower leagues

Many player contracts will expire before a season could be finished.
