    good news that they're still having promotions and relegation. can't see any system that could be used here that wouldn't see us promoted if they went down that route.

    Other than owning the freehold is it anything to do with the council? Not sure how they could step in without offering the same help to other businesses.

    What's everyone watching while on 'lockdown'?

    Was worried the second series wouldn't live up to the first but it was brilliant. Think there's plenty of scope for a third series if he wants to break the habit of a lifetime. Definitely more to be told with Sandy's backstory. Some cracking one liners in there as well.

    I've got no idea when football will restart, wasn't aware I'd suggested I had. But when it does I would assume the rules still apply. Does it even need social distancing to end? You're currently allowed to travel to a place of work and HSE say distancing should be maintained where possible...

    Wasn't aware of footballers were requesting PPE in order for games to go ahead but yes, absolutely, they should be able to sue if they are forced to play in unsafe conditions. Or the better option would be for the PFA to step in and say nobody will play if the FA and EFL put forward something...

    Its a tough watch tonight. Sure I'm not the only one who is raging at what I am seeing. Even some of the basic stuff like counting each individual glove as a piece of PPE equipment and counting regular cleaning supplied. So said when one NHS employee said they get called so to make it ok when...

    This money they're giving to the relatives of key workers who have tragically died. Are they going to have to sign paperwork which means they can't sue the government for negligence if they receive the money?

    League rules mean even if a loan ends they can't play for the parent club: Rule 53.1.4: “A player whose standard loan expires (or terminates) at the end of the season of the transferee club but prior to the completion of the league matches of his parent club (where it is a member club) will not...

    Odd that they're taking questions from the public given the way the Conservative benches acted when Corbyn did the same in PMQs.

    This is the key line, many football clubs are financial basket cases without something like this coming along.

    Think contracts are supposed to be standardised to end June 30 so we've probably got until the end of May before that becomes an issue. If you started on or before June 1 should just about get things done. You'd need a couple of weeks for the play offs which would run into July but I can't...

    Be interesting to see if clubs start picking up released players for next season. If all clubs do the same as Colchester it will be a complete free for all when its confirmed the season is starting. Is there anything stopping them offering contracts that have a small retainer and / or wage...

    Higgs was going to cost millions (£7m?) to adapt to their needs. They didn't have the money and so wanted a sponsor to pay for it, not surprisingly they couldn't find one. The housing was land next to Higgs which was quietly sold off. Just a thought, didn't the Saracens stuff start unravelling...

    Isn't it sensible to look at other countries? I'd want to know what another country was doing differently to us if there were appearing to have a greater level of success.
