Honestly don't know why the don't abandon the 20/21 season wait till its safe and finish this season make up the blank weeks with some local mini leagues for the lower leagues and Euro friendlies for the main leagues unless its money.

But that way all promotion, relegation issues get sorted cup comps finished and the first year of our ban gets written off

yep, and your way they write an entire season off rather than a quarter of a season.

unless you’ve got skin in the game, it makes no sense at all.

I 100 % agree. Mainly for moral reasons. It's highly possible this virus comes back. If the normal time taken for a full season is used for a quarter season I believe we may have the tools with regards mass testing and the ability to reduce risks at mass gatherings by asking fans the right questions. A longer time between games also helps with self diagnosis and more testing.

Yes and people stay safe

Yes and people stay safe

as if that was one of the considerations for those making the decisions

Why has this thread morfed into the coronavirus thread

I know @tolmie's hairdoo is beyond bullish and seemingly the mood for the top brass is we will win this case but anyone still think we’ll get a ban of some type? Surely UEFA haven’t just changed their arm with all this?

as if that was one of the considerations for those making the decisions

A colleague at work very much into his rugby got an survey from RFU - all sorts of questions probing what it would take for him to be happy attending the Autumn Internationals at Twickers.

Concerns about proximity of staff, etc.what he would feel was acceptable. He was pretty adamant that it was the thousands of other people (even with big spacing) that he would encounter in and on the way into the stadium, that concerned him, then added to the fact that space enough to be safe sitting would mean a crowd paltry enough to make it pointless going.

I get that enquiry may be necessary at some point, but right now it just felt like money grubbing agitation to the both of us.

The mood was we'd pass FFP in the first monitoring period, we didn't. I'd like to believe we'd win but having been convinced by the mood back in 2014, I no longer trust it. Bracing for the worst.
