The Premier League, EFL and PFA agreed that difficult decisions will have to be taken in order to mitigate the economic impact of the current suspension of professional football in England and agreed to work together to arrive at shared solutions.


Interesting part of the statement just out.

I may have missed it, but where are the official league tables, goalscorers, results etc for that period?

tbh quite a big article on ye olde Wikipedia, that’s where I was reading about it anyway - not sure if they’ve that level of detail though..

So keeping with the April 30th idea for the league to return.

Well it is undrstandable that for some EFL clubs voiding he season will hit them hard financially, but after the FA cancelled the non league it will cause a lot of division and resentment if the top 4 leagues complete the season.
Add to that time frames, how does the non league season start again in august whan the prem and EFL may only just be finishing.

If the season does carry on behind closed doors it will be shite.

Even if the games are played behind closed doors ,home fans fans will turn up en-mass to the grounds anyway and given that Liverpool win the title thousands will go to the ground on the last day of the season , I’m not sure the cops could stop it ,
