Well that's that all football suspended until early April but realistically there's no chance of it restarting then. Shrewsbury Town just announced by not playing their remaining home matches they will miss out on lost revenue to the tune of £250,000.
Unless the Football League put together a rescue plan then a lot of clubs including our's won't survive, although i guess we will all have more pressing demands on our home/worklife!
Very best of luck to you all hopefully see you all in the autumn club and family intact!

Just taking a quick look at the bottom of Div 2 I understand that Stevenage, Macclesfield, Morecambe, Oldham and Carlisle are all in financial trouble. I think you're right - this could well be the tipping point for any number of Clubs. Including ours. Fingers crossed.

I’ve been self isolating since 2015 as I’m in the at risk group with little to no immune system & I really couldn’t care about me but I care fir others. Just be sensible and do not panic. I too, wish all of you the very best of health and luck. As usual, I’ve seen people ripping the p155 out of this yet not even the apparent experts foresaw this yet China was on lockdown, very quickly and they have previous on not being open and honest. Stay safe, be mindful and be lucky

Maybe they wish they treated us as passionate supporters now and not customers

The whole of the UK (,world) is effected.Players ought to accept a 'living wage' until life gets back to normal.
As has been posted,the rich within football ought to contribute to helping the poorer survive.

Cannot imagine any player out of contract being offered a new deal if this drags on into the summer.

I never thought we would see a day when players don’t hold all the power but this might well usher it in. Certainly players in the lower leagues could find their wages cut drastically if they want to play for a league one or league two club. Interesting times. Stay safe all.

Stay safe, be mindful and be lucky This virus is a cull of the old and sick and as Boris stated will kill a lot of loved ones before their time. Due to my age and having Parkinsons i am also in the at risk group, likewise i am also not fussed about myself. For me the only saving grace about this nasty virus is that generally it does not target the young - So our children and grand children will get a chance to realise their dreams and aspirations. Once again good luck to you all and stay safe!

Although seriously bad financial news for struggling Clubs in Div 1 & 2... probably good news for Clubs below tier 4 as potentially their gates get a bit of a boost. Sadly Billericay are away and I don't think I'm mentally prepared for a return to Braintree. It's still too soon.

Natural selection would have processed me long ago. That's just the way it was for me.
Apologies for being around, but it's been fun living more than one chance supporting and following the Gas. Good and bad.
Hey we've been doomed many times before, we have always somehow got through it. Together.
Could always be worse. Could be a sh!t head...
