When Football resumes..

[Tuerto]

If it does for this season, then it's going to feel very strange watching football in June. We've got nine league games to go, so say it got going again mid April, (Can't see it) then the season could go into July. It's going to be very odd and unseasonal which could add to a very strange atmosphere. Personally i don't think that the season will be completed, i hope not just to **** Leeds fans off. Just noticed that anything below national league has been cancelled for good and all results wiped out.

I cant see the current restrictions being removed within 12 weeks. Therefore mid June earliest.

I just cant see it.

Its a question of write the season off or re commence whenever they can even if thats later in the year.

Nor me. I suspect that we prepare for a longer term than 12 months of restrictions.

I meant weeks.

I reckon the season will resume in the summer and I wonder whether that might be quite....good?

Why do we watch football in the depths of winter? Easy to forget now but a few weeks ago we were watching games in storms and rain. Not much fun.

Let’s get our tops off and for goodness sake let people take a beer into the stands. Live a little

No. No. No.

NO!

The rest of the domestic league season can be completed within a month, or even less, if need by. I'll be surprised if we see football being played any time soon even if things go better than expected in terms of controlling the virus - I still think a reduced 20/21 season is the best way to go.

I was just about to suggest the same thing Paul. There's no football anyway until 30th April, unless that date changes. It would be best to complete this season and have a reduced, or more compressed season next year. Maybe just play each team once ? But maybe clubs will want the full season played. I know I'd want full value out of my season ticket. They'll have to finish early as the Euros will follow in Summer 2021.

They have to finish this season, even if it is October. Too many games have been played. Next season can be cancelled and replaced with mini-leagues, 3 PL teams, 3 Championship, 3 League One and 3 League Two type format.

Explain the format, don’t quite get it, only 12 teams competing?

Sorry - maybe not exactly 12 teams in a league, but multiple leagues.

So, for example

League
Newcastle
Norwich
Man United
Leeds United
Cardiff
Charlton
Stanley
Doncaster
Peterborough
Newport
Carlisle
Crewe

There'd be a few leagues set up like this.

Gate receipts shared 40% - 40% with the other 20% going to a hardship fund.

Maybe the winning team from each league then plays a playoff with the games at Wembley. A bit like that Centenary tournament that took place in 1988.

These leagues would take the place of the "missing" 2020/21 season and ensure that clubs lower down the pyramid get a share of money. Problem could be attendance and weakened sides, but I'm just hoping there is a festival atmosphere once this is all over and everybody will work together to get us back on our feet.

I'm a fan of both of these options

Summer football? Not so sure, probably because of what i'm used to, although it may bring extra people out and there probably is something to be said for not having to freeze your bollocks off for most of the season. Who knows, maybe players would improve with better conditions.

Lee Tomlin may be fit for for the re start.

If you look hard enough you will find some kind of positive in every situation.

I think that they'll have to finish the season, it'll cause mayhem with contracts etc and players who are on big promotion bonuses, plus the revenue lost due to cancelling nine games.

NML may be fit and he likes playing when it's warm.

[Der Kaiser]

Season will be finished no matter what, next season however, the format will be quite interesting to say the least. League cup and Football League trophy should be scrapped to free up playing time next year.

[tforturton]

Chances are they will play two or three games a week, to get them finished asap.

[MOZZER2]

I can see this season becoming void like the national league and below

just think Manchester city being the only club to win domestic honours this season or would that get that taken away from them ?

How can it be taken away from them when the competition was completed?

[Des Parrot]

They've set a precedent now, how can they apply different rules? Some teams in the lower leagues had as few as 5 games left, yet there season is cancelled & expunged.

[NYCBlue]

If it starts back up, the games will be behind closed-doors. And probably played at a rate of 2 a week.

......we will still be rubbish? 🤷*♂️

[life on mars]

To be fair to mankind , and to elevate the stress for Leeds and Liverpool fans lets wipe out the results, its not fair they should suffer this not knowing wait ,let's give them a release .
