    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    First reply to that is from a Tranmere fan "shows clubs are all out for themselves and integrity/fairness counts for nothing", you couldn't make it up!

    65,000 excess deaths but a few more lycra warriors on the roads. Why would you even mention it, there's no way you can say that and it not sound callous.

    Sky Blue Trust Letter

    Thanks for posting that as I haven't received anything from them,. As I've said many times when Fisher has opened his mouth and promised all sorts of things actions speak louder than words. There's nothing in there we haven't heard several times before from the Trust and nothing has ever...

    George Floyd

    People who are wondering why things escalate so badly should think what would happen if the police went into the naughty corner swinging batons at anyone in sight and hitting pensioners and people defenceless on the ground. You have to wonder what happens that we don't see when this is all...

    Can't be true. How many times we were told we held all the cards and this would never be allowed to happen?

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Would agree with that summary. The Lincoln proposal actually makes sense, the rest are just self interest. As the idea seems to be to create a rule that can also be used in the future if required surprised nobody has suggested a minimum number of games that need to be completed, unless that's...

    Could be. Would make a mockery (again!) of the claims of 'following the science' as the science doesn't change dependent on somewheres charitable status.

    Championship favourite fixtures....

    The company I work for applied, and got, a covid loan but they had to put a hell of a lot of work in to get it approved as they have to prove they are a viable business and will be able to repay. And that was to borrow, in the grand scheme of things, a relatively small amount by a company that...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Apart from the EFL proposal and the Tranmere one do we actually know if any others are being voted on? I can imagine some owners giving up on Tranmere's without even reading the whole thing. There's pages of it and it starts going on about mathematical formulas and all sorts of crap. A lot...

    The government's plan to rebuild document targets July 4th for the reopening of the hospitality and leisure sectors including food service providers, pubs, hotels, holiday parks, campsites, cinemas etc. If they're all fine to open why not zoos? Appreciate it was published on May 11th and things...

    Doesn't that mean more than one option could get over the 51% needed?

    This makes no sense to me. You'd struggle to find a business more suited to social distancing yet the government is forcing them to stay closed. What happens if all the zoos go out of business?

    Pretty sure he didn't need planning permission for that. Personally I wouldn't be doing anything that doesn't maintain social distancing. To be honest I haven't changed my behaviour at all since the restrictions were eased, would rather wait and see how it plays out. That said I think a...

    Might be a problem there. If you're going to go on national television and tell everyone you were staying in a cottage on your parents land probably a good idea to check somebody thought about getting planning permission before they built it. Cummings' lockdown-trip cottage plans investigated

    Transfer Rumour Callum O'Hare - Confirmed

    According to the Birmingham Mail, although not sure that's anymore reliable than the Telegraph, even if they get relegated and Grelish goes he's not next in line. How many times will Villa go back with increased offers to a non-first team player?

    Does todays number of deaths mean the 7 day average is going down again? Think its started to rise the last few days sadly.
