The matches are the two games in hand.

A full fixture list would then be played on the weekend of 19-21 June.

Just a cautious thought. It was reported that:
"12 people have tested positive for coronavirus after 2,752 tests across the league".
Doesn't sound much, and indeed under 0.5 (0.436) percent - but if this sample were representative of the wider population, 290,594 people would test positive.

I fancy Liverpool to win the title

So essentially, for many, their lives have pretty much returned to normal...let’s face it, it’s a league for armchair fans anyway

Doesn't feel like there is that much to play for. Top 1 is certain, Top 4 nearly certain. Bottom two look doomed.No big clubs in danger of the thid relegation place. Sheff Utd finishing in the top 5 is about the most interesting thing. You could more or less take the league table now and it will end that way. The Championship is a bit more interesting and the prospect of us and Hull being only a division away whenever "next" season begins

Championship will be a better watch (as it usually is).I hope that the testing results from both divisions are reflective of society in general. Quite encouraging numbers.

Let them be the guinea pigs for our next season whenever that is.

Will be interesting to hear the players now that there will be no crowd noise, i wonder how much more swearing, general dissent and pathetic screaming will be audible, i reckon within a week the players will suddenly realise what arshols they sound like when they can be clearly heard with no crowd masking them.

Also i wonder if the pace of the game will slow without the crowd urging players on.

Personally I am pleased it's back on but only for the money that will hopefully be generated and passed down to ELF club's from it. Don't give a shite otherwise. In the long term could definitely be a negative for us and other smaller club's with people starting to watch premier league footy and getting sucked into that rather than going to the game. If people start to crack open a few cansofbeer and watch th match on the box for weeks they may get into the habit of doing that.

Probably won't change behaviour if it's a few weeks to finish off the season but if league 2 struggles to get started again by September or October it might...

I'm happy about this, now I live on my own I may watch the odd game if I'm really bored. It will be strange with no crowds though, I may have to play YouTube clips of the travelling gtfc fans to make me feel more comfortable watching 😂

Only the other hand if crowds return first to lower league football then it might work our better for us. Watching games on TV without crowds is not much a draw. I was watching the NRL game on Sky this morning and they have recordings, it just feels fake. So much of televised sport is the crowd which is why we keep getting shown shots from the stands.

If the clubs have to perform behind closed doors, why don't they play at lower league clubs, pay them a gate fee - that way they still get their TV money for fulfilling a season, and the lower league clubs get a vital lifeline and TV exposure.

I see that there was a cricket match played in Guernsey with 84,000 watching on youtube. Maybe this will be the new normal for a while with sporting fixtures.

why cant fans return if they are to wear face masks and ppe gloves, surely that's as all that is needed than not having anything at all.

I also see that horse racing resumes shortly. As Carole Cadwalladr notes, the MP for Newmarket - one Matthew Hancock, the Health Secretary - has benefited to the tune of £100,000 this year from the racing industry. Anyone else think the two issues are unrelated? Cheltenham any clearer for folk now? It's an old adage, but usually spot on, just follow the money.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.
