Even if they vote for a continuation there is absolute no guarantee it would actually happen. I'd say there is a very good chance that we're up.

I don't want to put the kibosh on it but I'm positioning the pyro in an appropriate location for igniting and filling the champagne bucket with ice.
Surely this has to be it now?

Did you actually get one?! If so where from? I'm interested. I bet your lad has plenty stashed for such an occasion

I genuinely had no problem with Peterborough before the season was suspended. Now I really am annoyed by the way they have handled this with no grace and sense of entitlement.

Trawled the opposition's forums to gauge feelings and happened across this on the Oxford forum (made me laugh!)

Witnessed totally disgusting behaviour at the beach today.

A man and woman arguing in front of a load of kids then she smacked him one on the head and it all kicked off between them.

The police turned up and the policeman ended up using his baton on the bloke but the man actually managed to get the baton off the copper and started hitting the copper and the woman with it.




Then a crocodile turned up and stole all the sausages.......

Just saw a pop up on sky saying league 1 to be decided on unweighted PPG.
edit: with Stevenage relegated for league 2.

edit 2: it’s just saying this is what’s likely to happen.

edit 3: bullshit.

12 votes needed for us to be guaranteed promotion into the Championship. That's all it takes.

Does anyone think the below 12 will vote to end the season now on PPG?

Coventry
Rotherham
Wycombe
Fleetwood
Burton
Blackpool
Lincoln
Shrewsbury
Accrington
MK
Rochdale
Wimbledon

got some the other week of some wedding website! They use them for effects on wedding photos but I've deleted the e-mails from them.
Amazon had plenty when I was searching for them but I fucked off my Amazon account.

Surely only Posh, the Mackems, Donny, Ipswich and Gillingham will vote for playing out the season now?

Just checking I've got this right. There will be a vote to accept these as the new regulations and then assuming that passes a vote on if this season should be ended now?

For the vote to change the regulations is it 51% in each division or 51% overall?

'4. The Board considers that the majority required to curtail the 2019/20 season in any division should be 51%. Determining whether or not to curtail the season is a decision for each division to take.'

So each division is decided separately

So at the moment the Championship has started testing today, with the intention of resumption on 20th June.
If the vote goes the way of restarting, I would guess L1 would be up to 2 weeks behind that date by the time it is voted on, and testing could be arranged, and results returned.
So realistically any restart could well be 1st week in July. Then we would have to play 10 games in, say, around 25 days to finish by the end of July. That is roughly like condensing a 9 month season into 4 months.

Maybe Tranmere too. I guess any team in the playoffs could if they thought they could catch an automatic spot.

Is theirs bigger than Sunderland's 12Mil?
Peterborough's must be up there? 8Mil springs to mind.
Educated guess, ours is sitting around 3-4mil.
Massive that those 3 fall short....
Oooops...

Sunderland only have themselves to blame for being 7th. If they had won against Bristol Rovers on 10 March (not too much to ask is it) they would be 3rd and would now be pushing for PPG at all costs. Instead they laid an egg (matter of fact they trounced Bristol Rovers 3-0 just a few weeks before at the end of Feb). Even some Sunderland fans don't think they deserve anything from this season and agree they are shite.

Doesn't make any sense. Sure there are lots of clubs that made playoffs in final weeks and won promotion. It's only the final league table that matters

In this case ppg is best option we have but don't tell me clubs should be happy about it if they are not in playoffs in March

Its just as and silly and as dumb as the ref is against us comments that we saw on here so much during every single game

Football tribalism has its drawbacks too

I get that but that is part of the "draft framework that would be adopted into EFL Regulations". The press release also says "the EFL Board is recommending that the League adopts the original framework with the amendments as identified".

To me that reads that these proposed amendments need to be accepted and then in line with them a vote to end L1 can take place but looks like I've got that wrong.

Hopefully we immediately offer 500k for Toney just to rub salt in the wound.

Now on the Beeb ...
English Football League: Promotion and relegation to remain if seasons curtailed

Incidentally, the decision to complete has to (IMHO) rest with the government on advice of Public Health England, not some selfish football chairmen.

Are these options from the EFL board or after a meeting of clubs?
