Oddly I recall teams playing each other twice in a season before the clocks went back. I hadn't realized this was no longer the case. Out of interest does anyone know when this principle was introduced?excessbee wrote:Agree. The less chance of cross-contamination the better. Who knows, the fixtures could even reflect that. Three blocks of eight teams, home and away fixtures, use those fourteen matches to allow clubs to get organised. Although, as I said before, the idea of each team playing each other once in each half season would have to be ditched for that.
Despite many worrying about the opposite being the case, at this rate only the Welsh clubs in the EFL will be able to host fans any time soon – and do so safely, not recklessly, assuming Wales continues to manage this far better than England.Collars wrote:Listening to Boris just now I no longer hold out much hope for fans any time soon. It will be interesting to see if the EFL thinks that Leagues 1 and 2 can still operate without any fans coming through the turnstiles. Worrying times!

If our board knew about a global pandemic on the horizon when they issued those contracts in July 2019 then they really should have told someone...Stan A. Einstein wrote:Prudent? Perhaps.

No. However 17 players on two year contracts is clearly far too many. It leaves no room for manoeuvre. A pandemic, an economic collapse, a winter like 1963 and so on.halfmoon wrote:If our board knew about a global pandemic on the horizon when they issued those contracts in July 2019 then they really should have told someone...Stan A.
