    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.

    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...

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

    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.

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

    Seems the clubs have the choice of the EFL proposal, which is consistent across all divisions, maintains the play off format, maintains the correct number of teams in each division. Or the Tranmere proposal which could end up with something different applied to every division, completely tears...

    Transfer Rumour Callum O'Hare - Confirmed

    Unless a Prem club is in for him I'd say we've got a good a chance as anyone. Wouldn't have to move across the country, playing for a manager he knows and knows has faith in him, excellent chance of being a first team regular.

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

    The EFL proposed regulation change was about 10 lines, Tranmere's is 7 pages, no wonder people can't understand it! Also the point of the EFL change was to permanently have a solution. Tranmere only want this to cover the current season.

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

    You've only looked at L1 teams, it would need to get past at least 51% of all EFL clubs first. If it does then L1 votes and if they decide to play on Tranmere's proposal doesn't come into it. Can't see why Oxford, Portsmouth, Peterborough or Fleetwood would vote for the Tranmere method. That...

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

    There's a clarification on the Tranmere site which makes it even more batshit crazy than I originally thought. The whole point of the proposed regulation from the EFL is that a rule is but in place for consistency across the divisions. Tranmere are now saying their proposal allows each division...
