BREAKING NEWS ...

John Travolta was hospitalized for suspected COVID-19, but doctors now confirm that it was only Saturday Night Fever, and they assure everyone that he is Staying Alive.

He had chills that were multiplying.

Many times, way back in the 60s the football program was halted for weeks because of snow and ice I think our third round. cup-tie v Lincoln was a record for postponed matches and we played the the fourth, fifth and sixth round games in a month, and the fourth round match v Pompey went to three games.
Of course if there is a total national lock down and people movement affected that’s possibly a different issue.
But if the worst scenario was to happen and the football season was unable to finish, it won’t, the final league positions would be down to points per ratio of games and we would be top.

The worse for us would be be any delay - time would give injured players the chance to recover - must win game against the Shrews - need to be as far up the table before any major decision is taken

I was thinking that as well. Some bloke from Accrington Stanley is calling for a complete pause. I wonder how many injuries they have?

They would have to win by a big margin to make any difference.

Different pitches, no under-soil heating and no love TV rights or the same money in the game.

Whole different ball game.

It was regular in times gone by hasn’t happened for a while, global warming perhaps, but could any winter in fact perhaps we are overdue one.
Just this scaremongering on here about season not finishing is laughable to be honest.

Think Shrewsbury will be the last game, for a few months, we attend. By the weekend we play Lincoln I expect games will be behind closed doors. And a week or two after that a suspension of games for a month

For those who think that Football began with the premier league, this has never happened
For many on here who still recall 87, it wasnt that long ago
The issue this year will be the Euros which they will not want to cancel

The Forest owner has announced he's got coronavirus. He was at their game on Friday vs Millwall and met the clubs players and staff, as well as taking selfies with fans outside the ground.

Unsure if it's been shared, but EFL admitted in Gov meeting yesterday that they don't have the insurance that would cover clubs' loss of funds from going behind closed doors.

Would be absolutely brutal for the small clubs that rely on gate receipts and refreshment sales to keep the cashflow up over the summer.

why bail any of them out? The powers that be would be daft to. They never have and should not start now regardless of the outcome.

You mean why look after lower league football clubs if their income is drastically cut because of games being forced to be played behind closed doors?

And this is how it starts in the football world. You have to think now that Forest are going to be candidates for self-isolation if they all met the owner recently. And if one team can’t play, what then? It’s just a matter of time before players and club staff start testing positive. If that happens they’ll have to call the season off, surely?

I’m really not sure how you can ‘pause’ an entire league for weeks or months and still hope to play the games.

It has to be PPG. Only fair(ish) way.

They would have to temporarily suspend it and then hope in a couple of weeks it has all settled down.

I would think they would do it for two weeks and then review. They wouldn't just call the season off.
