Wizzard1867 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 No news then, other than the fact this thread will hit 300 pages this evening regardless of any news from the EFL. I HATE THE EFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I just really can’t see them giving us a point deduction this season with only 4 games left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxtongent Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Several things have come out of this. One is the flak that DC has taken, and is still taking, about selling he ground. 'The ground is ours' is the cry from many supporters. Sorry, Chaps, it is NOT. The only thing that is yours by right is the opportunity to watch football matches (from certain seats if ST holders). When you pay to go to a football match, you do not pay to buy any part of the club, purely the entertainment that is put on. It's like saying 'I pay to go to the pictures regularly, so I own part of the Cinema.' The club is not ours. We don't employ the players or anyone else.. We simply pay to be 'entertained'. As for the signing off of accounts, maybe we should plead precedent. We have spent a number of years as part of the EU - who's accounts have not been 'signed off' for about 10 years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our people will argue it isn’t fair as it doesn’t give us time to make up the points. It would basically be automatically relegating us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taximark Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 3 minutes ago, Essix Blue said: Why? Because they (EFL) now have the ability to relegate us should they wish too with only 12 points to play for. I feel there has to be a fair cut off time and imo that time has long gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) I was watching the Leeds Stoke match earlier and they bought the bottom end of the table up and it was almost farcical talking about how many points Stoke were above the bottom 3 and what they needed to do to survive knowing that the table wasn’t even accurate with potentially 2 sides facing hefty points deductions before the end of the season. To be going into the last 4 games of the season and sides not knowing what the accurate league table looks like and what they have to do to stay up is a joke. It’s an absolute farce and doesn’t look great on the EFL. Potentially next season if we don’t get a deduction this season, you could see points deductions for us, Villa and Derby... again the actual league table won’t be accurate. Anyone remember when football used to be sorted out on the pitch. Edited July 9, 2020 by TrickyTrev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a cinema though mate ...peoples dads, grandad, great grandad has been going for years ...its in their blood. I get how people feel and how they somehow feel attached, yes as a buisness you are correct although you put it across in a very cold tone. Football clubs and grounds are sacred to some folk in the community. Edited July 9, 2020 by TaxiMark 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know the difference between a fan and a customer. How sad. If we were all just customers, the business would be dead because the product is expensive poo and continually lets us down. What's that got to do with the EU accounts anyway? (For the record, they've been signed off as "Fair and Accurate" since 2007 by the Court of Auditors). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
