Re: Next step?
16The more you think about it, the fewer reasons there are to restart the season unless they can do it w/e 3 April, and the chances of being able to do that look remote.
I agree with that except I'd do away with play-offs.newgroundrodney wrote:In my opinion. because different teams have played differing numbers of games, the only fair way is to use their projected finishing positions, calculated by the number of points collected per game, multiplied by 46.....then use GD to separate any two teams that have the same number.
So if the season were to be curtailed today, this is how I would place them:
TEAM NAME.......PLD.....PTS......
Swindon Town .....36........69........88
Crewe Alexandra 37........69.........86
Plymouth Argyle..37.........68.........85
Cheltenham Town.36.......64.........82
Exeter City............37.......65.........81
Northampton T......37.......58.........72
Port Vale..............36........56.........72
Colchester U........37........57.........71
Bradford City........37........54.........67
Forest Green.......36........49.........63
Salford City..........37........50.........62
NEWPORT CO....35.......46.........60
Walsall.................36.......47..........60
Grimsby Town......37.......47..........58
Crawley Town......37.......46..........57
Cambridge...........37.......45..........56
Leyton Orient......36........42..........54
Oldham Athletic..37........41..........51
Carlisle United ...36.........39..........50
Scunthorpe U......37........40..........50
Mansfield Town...36........38..........49
Morecambe.........37........32..........40
Macclesfield T.....37........30..........37
Stevenage..........36.........22..........28
Promotion Play-Offs could be decided upon by the drawing of straws for who goes up.
Quite righr Frank. I'd do it the other way around. Everyone under 60 should have to isolate themselves. They're the ones running around spreading the virus, and there would be plenty of toilet rolls left for us old guys.Frank Nouble 3 wrote:Well how daft is that.UPTHEPORT wrote:Just my opinion but I think this season will be written off

I am 70 touch wood never ever had a stay in hospital never had the flu.
Run 5k in 29 minutes and they want me to lock myself away for 4 months.
You cannot make this up.
I know unfortunately very unhealthy people 20 years younger than myself.
Have plans by all means but don't come out with daft ideas like that.

I personally can't wait perhaps us workers will be able to get doctors appointments now and get to the counter at post offices

If it gets implemented it might safeguard as many people of your age group as possible, is that really an unreasonable proposition?
No you totally miss the point, the risk of you jogging about your normal routine and bringing the virus home to your good lady? I'd think for every one of your apparent fighting fit 70 year olds, there'll be many more who still live as married couples, but one of whom won't be fighting fit and at extreme risk if their husband/wife carried on as normal and infected themFrank Nouble 3 wrote:You totally miss the point with your second paragraph.whoareya wrote:Look on the bright side - its given you something different to moan about.Frank Nouble 3 wrote:Well how daft is that.UPTHEPORT wrote:Just my opinion but I think this season will be written off

Vulnerable people are in every age bracket.
But most are in over 70 bracket you really can't see that thoughFrank Nouble 3 wrote:You totally miss the point with your second paragraph.whoareya wrote:Look on the bright side - its given you something different to moan about.Frank Nouble 3 wrote:Well how daft is that.UPTHEPORT wrote:Just my opinion but I think this season will be written off

Seriously all you need to do is have a look at County supporters over RP, so many look very frail and lots well under 70.Frank Nouble 3 wrote:Sorry but this is nuts.whoareya wrote:No you totally miss the point, the risk of you jogging about your normal routine and bringing the virus home to your good lady?

My good lady is far fitter than me, never had flu and had just one night in her life in hospital apart from the kids being born.
Why would a fit 70 year old bring home the virus to a very fit 65 year old anymore than any other age.
Correctly if you are vulnerable at any age take precautions but carte blanche 70 is nuts.
Just to repeat vulnerable people are in every age bracket.
Hiya Phil all im saying is the last death figures for flu where 17,000 in England alone don't know figures for Wales and Scotland or Irelandphil_in_npton wrote:Good Afternoon
Jim, has your viewpoint turned full circle? I remember you said flu is worse and merits more worry, and this is blown out of all proportion?
I’m not sure we can avoid what’s coming in the next few weeks, many people will die, that would not have done if this wasn’t a serious threat.
I also don’t think all the general public, older or not, will comply to instructions given out for the greater good. People are too selfish.
Until it affects any one personally, in close family or friends, it’s easy to ignore the severity of it. When it’s too late they might be saying “ if only he/she/they had stayed indoors”

Ps. Sorry Jim, it seems I’m targeting your opinion specifically, I just think we had a different viewpoint from the start. Happy to disagree, debate and stay safe together!
