This season we ask for it to be dealt with in the way we suggested it be dealt last season. We don't take any part in trying to drive that through though. Either way, we get promoted if we're top of the league if and when the league is called due to precedent or an outbreak of common sense among a majority of other member clubs.

It’s a likely ratio up here - which will mean X number of players will need to isolate. I think some clubs won’t be able to field a team Like in England some games might be in jeopardy while infection rates are at the current high levels but that doesn't mean the whole league needs to stop. If teams get 3 or 4 positive tests then they'll just need to make do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s face it none of us know the running costs of a football club - yes non playing staff and policing costs etc will be down but I’m sure there’s others than have increased. Nothing replaces hate receipt money for these clubs. I’m pretty sure sponsorship money will have disappeared as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially but your are forgetting hospitality and all the various match day and season sponsorship- even things like advertising boards at the side of the pitch.
