reported that English Premiership will be suspended this week. Coronavirus: English rugby union's Premiership set to suspend season

Because football doesn't exist outside the PL as far as most of the media is concerned.

French closing restaurants, cafes etc. from this evening. Just driven back through centre of Budapest and it is very quiet - normally rammed. Supermarkets here putting out automatic hand sanitizer dispensers that have to be used before you can enter. Finally closed the schools. Govt apparently...

Knew West Ham would be the first club to want the season null and voided. Brady in the Sun spouting off. Bet they still demand full TV money etc. Also be running to court if BT and Sky say they're not paying all the money as haven't had required number of live games.

Don't see it being null and voided. Not just promotion and relegation but also the PL prize and TV money would be an issue. Then you've got the issue of European places which again has big money attached.

Does link back to your thread what money a club brings to the local economy

Brazilian official who met Trump in US tests positive. Fingers crossed :)

Police enforcing the quarantine here in Hungary atm, Now a criminal offence not to self-quarantine or report if you have come from one of the banned countries. Our neighbours , Slovakia, closed the borders today, banned all flights in and out apparently.

I like the fact he got 2 tickets 1st time around but only 1 the 2nd time. Billy No Mates :)

Prem got their TV money , EFL don't. Seems PL are happy to play behind closed doors (with modifications on live TV games), EFL aren't happy to play behind closed doors as they don't have that financial lifeline.

We can go on about promotion and relegation issues but EFL clubs are going to lose around 20-25% of their home games income if they go behind closed doors. Could actually put a fair few into administration

Local team I'm involved with in the Budapest league got an email last night saying fans banned from watching games (Inc parents for the junior games!!! ).

We've got all people from Italy, China, South Korea and Iran banned from entering Hungary from midnight. Any Hungarians coming from those countries will forcibly quarantined (and I do mean forcibly!!). Border controls to be enforced from Slovenia and Austria (the main road routes from Italy)...

track down Sickboy (unfortunate username in the circumstances) on here he lives there

Doubtful EFL would have given permission for the 3 years without factoring in the possibility of promotion.

Ride it round Small Heath a couple of times :)

Get promotion, enjoy it for what it is then worry about the financial reality of Championship football (that it's all down to owners with deep pockets rather than a few thousand extra through the gates).

That cup period was a unique time. Started from the top with Snoz and Curtis who genuinely loved the club. Snoz was an infectious character and passed it on to the players for a "happy" squad. It played good, entertaining football. Cup run with all those away games was a special time. That was a...

People like this are a menace perpetuating incorrect info and winding people up.

Hasn't Duggins basically said that on several occasions? Perfectly good stadium available and should be there, not in Birmingham etc. CCFC Ownership the problem, nothing else....
