    I think David Baldwin is due at the EFL anytime. That will bring some pragmatism to play.

    Agreed, discussed on here, no problem with that. The fact is that it isn't on the radar anywhere else and won't be, hence my comment.
    If implemented it shuts down the number of available promotion spots, limiting chances to play higher. In turn, after two or three seasons people will get bored with the lack of different clubs and attendances fall, one of the reasons regionalisation was abandoned in the first place.
    Not trying to shut anyone down and definitely not arrogant just saying it as I see it and believe the Authorities see it the same way.

    I'm arrogant enough to tell it how it is.

    It's a stupid idea!

    And after all the delay and messing about, indecision, lack of leadership, etc. Nothing will change
    L2 finishes with PPG determining play off places, as already known and planned and Stevenage relegated.
    Barrow and Harrogate promoted from NL.
    L1 determined on PPG with play offs as L2 with Bolton Southend and Tranmere down, even Southend Chairman says that is the fairest way
    Can't predict Championship but Leeds and WBA should go up barring disasters in remaining games which will play out.

    Well if we dont get a second wave after the last 2 weekends complete disregard for the governments advice I'd be delighted, although the figures are reducing even acknowledging the weekend numbers are usually on the low side.

    Looks like a decision we could have made 4 weeks ago but here we are. Let’s get this sorted and let clubs recruit for next season now.

    No it's not Fordy. I've been to a few of these in my time. The format is start with all clubs, 71 in this case.
    Deal with the main issues, in this case changes to Regulations, how final positions decided, amendments, etc.
    Then move to separate Divisional meetings with then a reconvene of all 71 to report and adopt individual decisions. Quite straightforward .

    Be funny if they voted to resume playing.

    It is what it is mate, but can't help feeling sorry for the Blunts, they'd be up in 5th.
    At least we've all played 29 now

    Personally I find watching live football on TV, can be quite tedious. At a live game, and in the ground, then there is so much more to see. I often look at other aspects of the game, when I want, rather than have the restricted view of the camera.

    Yeah I thought that was a massive mistake mate. Law was a decent player for us and for me would have got into our midfield last season. I think we should maybe consider getting him back. Is he out of contract in the summer?

    No one for getting ex players back but Law knows the league, done well and can help players around him.

    Do you just go out of your way to be awkward, fans buy their season ticket early and for doing that you want the club to give it back so the fans can buy next season ticket again, why ?.

    Most of the time it is but, for deliveries, I'm operating a 2 metre rule and I won't be lowering it.

    I don't want to miss part (or all) of next season but I think the return of crowds will come too early for me, so I'm hoping to watch the matches from home. But as soon as I believe it is safe (for me) to do so, I'll be back. Better to miss a few matches than all of them.

    Cheers guys
    Hadn't seen anything about it
    Good at least they are thinking but sadly a lack of publicity (again)
    A lot of companies have diversified into supplying PPE and are doing it well some admit it's "keeping the doors open"
    The club have a unique brand to sell just hope they can get the stock

    Non of those can come close generating the same as ticket income.

    We already run at a loss and a significant one at that. Everything else being equal how can it possibly work, especially with the potential increased cost of testing?
