My expectation is that they will allow elite-level sport to continue. The government will want to retain as many positives from these dire circumstances as possible which don't have a great overall impact on Covid transmission. I imagine top sport and television programming will fall into that bracket.

Whether it is ultimately viable will depend on whether clubs van keep enough players free of the virus to consistently stage games, something I think is increasingly in doubt. That mess will be left for the Premier League and EFL to sort out, no doubt.

I'd be surprised if Boris puts the kybosh on the season tonight, but much less so if it is forced to fizzle out all by itself.

If it means the season is abandoned with no promotion or relegation then I'd take it!

It is much more likely to be based on points per game as last year, very bad news for us

haven't you watched any of this season's games?


btw - as i said in another post, just as important is what happens to the National League. Not elite , and the majority of clubs haven't even played a third of the season.
fingers crossed for the season to be null and voided in all non league footie

There’s over 20 games left. It would be harsh for any team to be relegated just yet. I’m not just saying that because we would get the hook, I’m saying even if Scunthorpe were bottom it would be unfair.

Plus Lincoln would be promoted. (Shudder)

Surely they won't do that this season, with less than half the games played.

I would think that if the football season is stopped then this season will just be declared null and void.

Unfortunately Lincoln are going up mate, it’s the new normal. Let’s just worry about ourselves (and I do worry about it, intensely).
