    Ticketmaster Refunds

    There is. Ticketmaster have to process each refund individually and they currently have $3billion worth of tickets for cancelled / postponed events to work through. They normally say up to 7 days to process refunds but it’s currently up to 28 days.

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

    Er, the definition you've given there is what I thought it meant hence querying how it could both be voided and promotion decided on PPG.

    There will be a tipping point where the death doll from keeping everyone in lockdown will overtake that of the virus itself. Problem is those will be deaths in the coming months and years and will therefore be reliant on projections. Does anyone trust that the government to work in the best...

    Chris Whitty said today "Majority of people will not get this virus at all. Of those who do, some of them will get the virus without even knowing, with no symptoms. Of those who get symptoms, 80% will get a mild disease, but not bad enough to go to the doctor. An unfortunate minority will go...

    Quite funny seeing people on social media giving it 'are people stupid, it's clear what he said' followed by something that goes against the advise published on the government website.

    Well I know that and you know that but the PM has just announced to everyone on TV that it is.

    Think someone needs to explain to him what voided means.

    So after weeks of being told to wash your hands about 50 times a day Johnson is now saying it can be in the water supply?

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

    25th May is the key date. UEFA have said domestic leagues have to have their plans in place by then. Either to continue or how they are going to terminate the season. EFL have said season can run to the end of July with current contracts (not sure how when they expire 30th June). Have also said...

    In the U.K. we are basically making a rough estimate as we aren’t carrying out enough testing to give an accurate R number. We’re taking the data we do have, such as deaths and hospitalisations, and trying to extrapolate that to give an R number but who knows how accurate it is. Some...

    That was the issue the first time round. In reality it was take this or potentially lose your job although you'd assume if they wanted to start making people redundant they couldn't just go with people who refused furlough and would have to go though the usual process. My concern here was it...

    Won't be happy if that comes in. Like many others I had to agree to be furloughed as my employment contract didn't cover it. There's a big difference between people getting 80% of their salary, which once you take off the cost of commuting for a lot of people isn't a huge hit (obviously the...

    Thought similar. The worrying thing is that was prerecorded, presumably as they don't trust him not to mess it up live. But given its prerecorded and therefore could have taken multiple takes the implication is that was as good and as clear as they could get it. Johnsons performance was like...

    Just seen a useful summary of tonight's speech so I thought I'd copy it here to help everyone understand: Stay alert. If not staying home. Stay home if not being alert. Go to work. If not working at home. Work from home if possible. If not working from home don't use public transport to get to...

    If nothing has changed why has Johnson made an announcement about it? At present you're allowed to drive for exercise and the police have been told to operate on the principle that the time exercising has to be longer than the time driving. By making an announcement that you can now drive to...

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

    Wouldn't that be more related to contracts and insurance than competition rules? In any case it would likey need epidemic or pandemic to be specifically mentioned. Will be tricky to argue it as an unforeseen event given its been at the top of the National Risk Register for years as something...

    Birmingham don’t want us

    Whoever runs that account is an idiot. They've also claimed its not possible to start next season at Birmingham and then come back to the Ricoh. We came back from Northampton part way through a season and Boddy has previously said the Birmingham deal allows us to come back part way through a...

    Ignoring the morals of it etc there's a huge flaw with what IDS has said. The person who is furloughed isn't the one making the decision, that's down to the employers.
