    New Zealand are lifting all restrictions from tomorrow but it has zero cases on Covid 19.

    New Zealand locked down quickly, got testing right, PPE and track and trace. However, in the UK....

    I understand what you're saying but we are months behind New Zealand for example and it wouldn't shock me if we have a second wave here.

    It won't be that creates a second wave. We need to get people back into offices and then see what happens. It's that which is more than likely going to create a second wave but we need to find out where we were at now.

    New Zealand have had no new cases for 17 days. It will still have its borders closed but we still more concerned about opening borders.

    So for me we need to get people back into offices now, crack on and see whats what.

    EFL clubs vote for EFL decision to use PPG. play offs(as normal) with promotion and relegation.

    Now guess what? Another meeting for div 1 and 2 to decide if they want to end the season.

    Div 2 vote to end the season. AGAIN!

    Stevenage down!

    Swindon(Champions) Plymouth and Crewe up

    Exeter, Cheltenham, Colchester and Northampton will be in the League Two play-offs as a result of the curtailment to the season.

    Disappointing season for us because we should have finished in the top 7 in this week league.

    So fans need not to expect a rush of signings by clubs now as clubs still need to know what's happening for next season.

    Heard Fleetwood chairman say clubs will need a bailout or will go under with no club safe. Called for PL, government or PFA to help.

    PL are not going to help, so it's down to the government or PFA I suppose. Tough road ahead still.

    Thankfully it’s done. Let’s get the rebuild going now.

    Next step should be club to offer fans some options with this seasons remaining home games I’d say. I wouldn’t want anything as cheap as they are but keep some goodwill going from a dire season and give fans the option of a refund, money on a card to spend in shop, money off next seasons ticket etc etc. Just come up with something and not assume no one wants a refund

    Technically League 2 isn't over as relegation can't be decided as yet because possible action against Macclesfield.

    Think the club have to come out and be extremely honest about their financial situation plus if Rupp is going to fund us.

    No mate. It's on sky yellow box.

    Think if I am honest they're trying to delay the Non league.

    Their site says this for main ST refunds:
    "Ticket refunds to include;
    Season Tickets – 2019/20 season ticket holders are entitled to a refund of 4/23rds of the season ticket price paid."

    I would imagine that's how we will go but ours would be 5/23- so approx £32.60 potentially due back.

    Now if say 8.000 out of 9,000 (guessing we have that many) adult ST's refunds were donated back to the club (as Northampton fans are already doing) that would be approx £260,800 not taken from next seasons budget. That's a considerable amount.

    Could be the difference between having an average squad and a decent one next season.

    That would allow those who want the refund to still get one but still leave the club with a decent budget.

    How do you know it will be going towards their transfer budget?

    As i say in terms of Bradford City we need real honesty about our finances. How we going to pay for testing? Do we want to wait for fans to come back then the season can start? TV season ticket and playing behind closed doors?

    Just come out Rhodes not Ryan and be totally honest because if Rupp is just going to loan us the money then that doesn't sit right with me at all.

    Football clubs have no income coming in from the end of this month. Those thinking about transfer budgets need to seriously think about clubs financial side but the club needs to do the right thing and offer refunds to fans.

    If fans refuse refunds the club needs to come out and say what the money is going to go towards. If it's to Rupp's back pocket I am not interested and I would want my money back.
