Your timescale sounds about right to me. Gloomy sporting outlook based on the last 24 hours.

Looks like we’ll be playing pre-season friendlies behind closed doors for the next three months at least

The clubs should start the season behind closed doors. And allowed to screen their matches live and keep the money they make.

Alternatively scrap the season and the table decided in alphabetical order that would have us in the play offs at least ;D

Just so unnecessary.

Witty and Vallance feed us bullsh*t figures - they said based on Spain and France where the death and case sets are plateauing, but turns out if so will be far less cases and deaths than their prediction, which they didn't call a prediction.
90% of positive tests are false  (Oxford uni centre for EVIDENCE based medicine and 3 independent t studies in USA, Dr Mike Yeadon etc etc)
C19 deaths now just 1% of all deaths, flu is significantly higher
Daily  C19 deaths about 20 out of 1500-1600 daily deaths.
Deaths and hospital admissions from respiratory illness s increase this time of year every year - this is no exception.
No evidence to say watching matches in open air stadia will make things worse (Fan Roan, BBC)

Just in this last week I have spoken to 3 ppl with friends/family that had C19 on their death certs.
1. Had long term COPD, but never diagnosed with C1o
2. Fied of old age (95) in a home with no cases of C19
3. Died in a motorbike accident.

Also spoke to worker from an NHS hospital: half empty and they are "Encouraged," to put deaths down as C19

If the season does get  put back  or cancelled  you would expect the playing staff will still need to be paid unless they had  new contracts with Covid discounts involved , could potentially cost a fortune with no income for  some clubs not necessarily Alty .

Good old JD, copy/pasting his conspiracy nonsense across multiple threads now.
Have you forgotten about the off-topic thread created for you and Hugh?

It seems to me that pay for view TV is the only way forward unless NL gets reclassified as non elite sport where these restrictions currently dont seem to apply ?

I can't see much chance of that happening after the National League's appeal in June to be classed as 'elite' level football.  You can't just change your mind if and when it suits unfortunately.

Agree on PPV. It might work well as many teams would get more away fans paying to watch games on TV than turning up in person.
The definition of elite sport was widened to include NLN and NLS to facilitate playoffs so it's quite unlikely that the decision would be changed in the opposite direction. Whether the 5th tier of football should ever be considered elite is another matter entirely.

The stats are all from ONS! No conspiracy theories, just facts and the opinions of highly regarded scientists.

If you can't handle the truth...!

"But it will infuriate sports governing bodies that insist it is much safer for fans to be in highly regulated, socially-distanced often open-air venues and stadiums than watching on the TV in pubs for instance.

They are not aware of any data or research which proves the return of fans would increase transmission. And they point to the fact that countries like Germany are allowing thousands of fans back inside grounds."
