use points per game average for the rest of the season promote the teams on that basis no relegation so increase the leagues size until next season will sort the possible legals out.

So next season more games to play, high likelihood of disruption from new lockdowns to manage cases for health service So people aren't going to be willing to buy tickets due to the uncertainty (that's if we're even allowed in or if there might be massive capacity restrictions to enable distancing etc) or we play the entire season BCD selling 'tickets' to watch online which would be the bizarrest circumstances for the players - like every game was a training match. Atmosphere won't be there and it'll be largely a damp squib as players can't find the same level of motivation.

Plus what if a player is diagnosed. Will the entire team either get tested or have to isolate again affecting fixtures. So higher likelihood of fixtures being called off mixed with more games to play. Can't see that becoming a disaster can you?

You may not think you're viewing it through Sky Blue glasses but the fact that you suggest promotion still occur but not relegation just shows you are. Either both occur or neither. Can't just cherry pick what best suits us.

There was a professor from Warwick University on 5 Live the other day talking about the various scenarios that may happen when the lockdown is realeased. The method he favoured was that young people (those under 35?) could be the first group realeased. His rationale for this was that statistically, this age group are by far the least at risk with, I think he said, only 3 deaths in every 10000 confirmed cases, and even these people are likely to have had some sort of underlying health issue. (I’m not sure he is correct here). However, if this was a method chosen by government it is possible therefore to see young, healthy footballers being among those allowed to return to work. Obviously there are others working in football who are outside that group, the coaching staff obviously. With the government keen to get some sort of return to normality under way, and with football being a major distraction for many, perhaps there are ways around this.

The New season could also start behind closed doors who knows how long this may go on!
High risk people have been told it could be a year.
