I get the feeling that more and more people who basically oppose the idea of cancellation / deciding promotion are now accepting it, some are suggesting tweaks which they see as making things more fair but virtually no-one thinks we shouldn't be promoted.

Support from an unlikely source Ex-Sunderland striker and prominent EFL pundit proposes this intriguing solution to decide League One promotion

The report in the Independent Premier League clubs told season must be decided ‘on sporting merit’

This is good reading, I assume it hasn't been posted anywhere yet. The FA ruling that will delight West Brom and Leeds United

If we are talking about being relegated, or struggling in a division we haven't even been promoted to yet, than we might as well give up. IF we do get promoted I'm certainly not going to be thinking about relegation before a ball has even been kicked. Lets wait and see, if we do go up, what we...

How insane would that be I said in another post Fleetwood played Portsmouth in games 31 (Feb) and 35 (Mar)

I really can't see how they could do that, for example Fleetwood played Portsmouth twice in the league in the second half of the season. On 10th March (game 35 for both teams) and previous to that, on 22nd Feb (game 31). Not all teams play everyone once in half a season, so that would defeat the...

Many people were talking about the serious possibility of non league football 4 years ago, or even worse, liquidation of the club.

If it does happen at least they will have a different reason to moan about us, can't blame this on kicking off late.

To be fair, if it happens as he said, it's not possible to prove it was BS. Maybe we will see in the next few weeks if he really is in the know.

I know it's the Sun but an interesting read Prem 'blackmailing' clubs into playing with relegation threats, claims Neville

But wouldn't medical staff have PPE? admittedly anyone likely to come into direct contact with players would need testing but how many is that in reality? do the media come into contact with players? and aren't they a nice-to have? 22 players + 10 substitutes, 2 x Manager, 4 x officials, 10 x...

I can't see how the figure of 60,000 tests has come about. There are 106 games left to play in L1 not counting the playoffs which would be an extra 5 games. Even at 100 tests per game (which would probably be more than enough) it only comes to 11,100 tests. That would cover both sets of players...

In reality, it shouldn't go to a vote. If it is deemed safe and practical to start, it should go ahead as per the required rules. Any team that can't or doesn't want to field a team should forfeit the game(s) 1-0

Plus, it can't add up. It has us losing 2 and winning just 1 of the remaining 10 games, yet predicts 11 points. Not possible

The massive flaw in this has been highighted by their own article. A computer system that can't do basic maths. Their write-up has us losing at home to Oxford and losing away at Wimbledon. They then state that our sole win is against Burton. That leaves 7 games, and it's not possible to get 8...

11 points from 10 games, with 1 win (Burton) and 1 defeat (Wimbledon) leave 8 draws - from 10 games??? Idiots!!

Whoever wrote the program has assumed we have had a lot of lucky 1-0 wins and have not seen us play

That's complete rubbish. There is no basis at all for that kind of prediction.

But if the void this season and clubs have to play next season BCD until at least January won't that happen anyway?
