Here's how I see it going:
- Games announced to be behind closed doors very soon
- Uproar from lower league clubs who say they could go bust without the income
- This weekend's games all go ahead with no fans and streaming allowed
- Infection rates keep increasing, some EFL players diagnosed, meaning whole teams have to test and quarantine
- EFL season delayed for two weeks

But surely different players could catch it over an extended period, so the 2 week/longer delay could keep repeating itself?

They can keep my bury ticket money too! Dont want a discount next season.

If all season ticket holders agree to this, would be an extra 50k.

Absolutely they could. That's where it becomes a big ol mess. But it seems people are just hoping at the moment with no actual long-term plan.

Efl should be releasing a statement daily to the clubs/fans to keep them in the loop about their short term thinking after their discussions with government.

Already clubs are losing thousands in lost revenue due to the uncertainty.

Closed doors games would mean city save thousands in having to pay to have the away end toilets fixed every other week

I’d even go further. I think they should charge £10 STH and £20 the rest and stream every game. Would imagine the viewing figures would exceed a normal crowd and if the club made, say £10 per viewer they would hopefully not lose much dosh, if any. I’m sure loads would get in a tizzy about that mind, but shit happens. I’d be happy (well not happy but you know) to pay it.

I live in Copenhagen, yesterday they took the step to partially shut down things (schools, Uni's, people told to work from home, etc). They have around the same situation in terms of numbers as the UK. I do not know why the UK seem to be so slow on the uptake and quite frankly why Cheltenham is going ahead is mental!

People can call it a media frenzy or whatever but if people just took action early then we'd all be back to it much much quicker!

Today’s COBRA meeting may well be the point where the UK introduces further measures. Anyway, just off to stock up on bog roll and lube.

The population of the uk is much larger though so the % of population is a factor they look at.

I went to the supermarket here yesterday (massive sainsburys) and there were quite a few gaps on the shelves, definitely less stock than normal (still had bog roll though!). Given the rumours of impending lockdown I suspect this morning will be rather busy in the food shops.

Surely banning social gatherings over a certain number of people would require legislation? If so, the Government couldn't implement that as soon as the weekend. Maybe from Monday.

Looks like the trip to Lincoln is out then.

the thing is, if you're going to stop screening football matches to prevent people gathering then surely weddings, parties etc would all have to be cancelled as well?
And there's probably more people in the City arms on a Sunday afternoon than there are across the road in the Albany club watching thee football so do you shut pubs altogether?

I think in Italy they are only allowed to open bars / restaurants if they can guarantee a meter gap between people? Families sitting at different tables to eat etc.

That is as you say a typical telegraph report where they gave written a story based on another story.

Everything is coming from the Tines piece which stares could be but everyone is amending that to be expected to.

It will most likely happen but we are a way behind where the other countries were when they made the same decision

Officials in China have declared that the peak of the country's outbreak is officially over.

Mi Feng, a spokesman for China's National Health Commission, said "the increase of new cases is falling".

Today there were just 15 new cases logged across the whole of China, and Hubei province - the epicentre of the virus - logged just eight new infections.

This is the first time the province has recorded a daily tally of fewer than 10 new cases.

Over the last seven days, the progress of coronavirus in the country has slowed markedly.

China has been enforcing strict measures on traffic and the movement of people in an attempt to stem the spread, including effectively putting Wuhan on lockdown.

As the virus has slowed, authorities have cautiously started easing restrictions and businesses have been reopening.

Earlier today, Hubei officials announced that travel restrictions would be further loosened.

Taken off BBC, will we take it as seriously as China though? Still very positive how they have manged to control it

1. There's something we aren't being told
2. This has everything to do with ensuring we don't have half the population off work with sniffles for 2 weeks
3. It's madness

The EFL has an arbitration committee. As far as I read they have the power to finish the season whenever. How this would be done may be decoded by an arbitration committee.

EFL Official Website - Section 5- Fixtures

‘Rules’ means these Rules of the Competition (as updated, amended or replaced from time to time).

It’s great news IF that’s the reality. Who knows. The key is whether the virus ‘reappears’ (not sure I’m of the medical term !!) and becomes widespread once the restrictions are removed though

Pathogens do reappear though, the 2009 pandemic actually lasted for around 18 months
