I have a friend who lives in Madrid. He's been sent home from work and told not to come back until further notice and he's heard that Spain will soon be on lock down.

I can see England / UK following suit soon.

Wonder if they will cancel the play off games and revert to the top 3 getting straight promotion!

This will ruin a lot of clubs finances who are already struggling to make ends meet.

If the games were played behind closed doors, would you want your ticket money back?

I am not playing a game, I'm just judging things on a day by day basis based on the current situation.

Why to you think there's and end game?

Nope, but have seen tweets from fans that would. Think the clubs will need every penny.

I’m not being disparaging and everyone is in a different situation but I can’t get inside the head of anyone that would do that & do even more damage to the precarious finances.

The Times article suggest that there is a penalty clause in the Premier League broadcasting contracts meaning that if the season was cancelled the Premier League would have to pay out hundreds of millions to the broadcasting companies, hence the eagerness to keep the games on.

Totally agree. They’re going to lose all the walk-up and non season ticket revenue anyway.

There is no real reason for the NBA to susptheir season but the USA isn't gave a good virus and isn't very coordinated but they do basically play every night and they play indoors.

Be interesting to know if the club have business interruption insurance to cover things such as this. I’d hope so but you’d hardly envisage something like this happening.

Happy for the club to keep the ST money, it’s out of their hands at the end of the day and will likely need propping up. May even need to look at additional fundraising options.

Think an early announcement saying all outstanding league games are 0-0. Fair overall (although bound to be some who will feel disadvantaged). FA Cup/other cups - who knows? Knock on effects for next season - negligible, except that some of the cup winner entitlements will have to revert to league places (e.g. European qualification). Said it on another thread, can you imagine the outcry at e.g. Leeds if they were denied promotion this season as a result of EFL decision. Lawyers !! (I deliberately didn't include us in that scenario !)

That won’t happen, imo the worse it will get is playing behind closed doors, should this get worse the season will get extended into May.
Also I’m certain there will be rules in the EFL rule book regarding points ratio per games played as there is in the amateur game.
