Part of the rules for going back to training, assuming this is correct. A test before training for the first time, a further two tests a week, temperature checks and medical questionnaires every day, wearing face masks for all sessions, physios to dress in full PPE, pitches, balls and even corner flags disinfected daily.
Can those 6 clubs explain how this is going to be paid for in league 1, bearing in mind we can assume testing will have to be kept in place during the remainder of the season? The PL have allocated £4 million for testing.
Still cannot see how the season can play out.
The talks have to be how to safeguard clubs so we can have next season.

This is utter madness.
London gets down to 24 new cases in a day, so what do we do, shut the borders, couple more weeks of pain, win the war? no, not a bit of it, let's all go to the seaside and hold sports contests, so that we can watch infections and deaths climb again.
I'm not sure I can believe what I'm watching happening in front of my eyes.
Who cares whether Swindon play Forest Green Rovers or Bristol Rovers next season, literally nobody outside of those 2 clubs, and even then they only care for 2 days out of 365.

foolly's right this once. Is it indeed utter madness. Until it is safe for the public to resume sports, to attend social events, and to see their grandparents (indeed to take them to the Memorial Ground) there should be no professional football. So people want something else to watch on the TV? Find something else. It's a disgrace.

Looks like in Germany you play the game as normal, so sweat against each other, breath all over each other, fall on top of each other in tackles, but when a goal is scored the celebration has to involve social distance. Completely and utterly ridiculous.

Sorry, but I thought the other day that you were OK with the government but were blaming the people? You haven't been following what I've been saying. I've said all along that we should have shut our borders in January at the latest, the only people allowed in should have been British nationals, and they should have been moved to controlled quarantine, so no, I'm far from 'OK' with how the government have handled this. I also said that when we failed to do that and the infection map showed a big red dot right in the middle of London we should have set up an exclusion zone within the M25, nobody in, nobody out, same in other 'hot spot' areas. I also mentioned that Khan was costing lives by reducing TFL services so that it was impossible for the quantity of people who needed to move around London to do so safely. I'm sure he'll find the prosecution for manslaughter will follow shortly. Of course it won't, but if you or I owned a company and exposed our staff to that risk and any died, we would be in very deep trouble. Some people also have acted like complete morons, but you seem to have caught it when I mentioned that.

Let's think about this for a second. So no deliveries into central London, no emergency services in or out. London has a number of specialist NHS hospitals, take the Royal Free in Hampstead as an example, nobody in or out of that facility from outside the M25.
Emmmmm

Emmmmm Why should I discuss this with a Laffer denier who then goes on to use Laffer as the backbone of an argument. When you can think rationally come back, until then... You know what was meant anyway, you were just trying to be clever, and failing, again. Anyway, you've obviously not been following what services have been curtailed by the NHS, I have, because I've been talking to people who work for the NHS, not listening to news, so I know what's actually going on in the buildings, you clearly don't. Typical Oldie, likes to snipe, no substance.

Keeping out the rants and politics, I shall explore the central question top of thread. So how does League 1 end?
Ranked as likelihood of possibility (imo)
1. Heat death of Sun. After the hundred millionth meeting of the league agreeing only to explore other creative ideas at next meeting, we enter Heat death of the sun. 2. Fungus. A fungal disease hopping species from frogs (see what I did there) eats Covid and all bacterial threats to human kind. And then eats League 1. 3. Asteroid 13681 (additionally named Monty Python) keeps left all the way in, then hits the earth at such an angle all other English leagues can be completed except League 1. So we end up doing something completely different. 4. Collapse of the space time continuum. As the universe expands and cools, tiny bubbles of a new kind of vacuum appear and spread at nearly the speed of light. The laws of physics change in their wake, and a blast of energy dashes any chance of league 1 restarting. Ever. 5. Particle Accelerator Mishap. One of the worlds Relativistic Heavy Ion Colliders starts to create exotic bits of altered matter, called strangelets, that obliterate whatever ordinary matter they meet, a subatomic black hole slowly eating away our planet, and any chance of resuming the football season. Far fetched? To reassure us scientists have calculated it’s no more possible than a Tom Nichols hat trick. Soooooo not happening. 6. Flood-basalt volcanism. The earth has one of its epic epoch making burps, a plume of hot rock from the mantle bursting through the crust (ironically from underneath Bury) wiping out 95% of the English football leagues, amidst the near total starvation and acid rains only the Championship insisted on completing. 7. Premature coronal mass ejection. Unfortunate but these things happen. Although flares and pyrotechnics are banned from football grounds, no sooner the season resumed a giant solar flare occurs at one of the League one matches causing the campaign to be abandoned. 8. Grey goo. This might lose some of you, so thankfully I have it so low on the list. It’s starts like this. Nano technology > microscopic robots that can assemble and replicate themselves > developed by scientists hoping to improve surgery by performing operations inside the patient, but their irritable boss was really working for the military to harvest the nano-machines as the perfect precision military weapon, but this is stolen by terrorists from unwitting scientists who thought they were passing it to other world powers to maintain world peace. In the hands of the terrorists a scientific mishap resulting in bacteria-sized machines, spreading like blowing pollen, replicating swiftly, and reduce the biosphere to dust in a matter of days. At which point league 1 agree to give up on the season. 9. For those who have been waiting for it, alien invasion. At the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California, a cadre of dedicated scientists sifts through radio static in search of a telltale signal from an alien civilization. Suddenly it happens. The greatest super computers on earth overheat trying to decipher the message, amongst the static it translates as something like a chant... who are you, who are you, who are you who are you... and then something that completely baffles the boffins - it was only a poor little gas head, it’s clothes all tatty and torn, it made we feel sick, we hit it with a brick, and now it won’t sing anymore. So yes. They really were not of this earth

looking forward to old Darragh resigning when Posh miss out Usually I would take a dim view of obscene language posted. But I have just introduced a new rule whereby anything said about that pile of talking excrement at Peterborough is fine by me. Awful, self-serving, selfish "f*ck everyone else" attitude. As normal. Shame on Oxford, Sunderland, Fleetwood, Portsmouth and Ipswich. High praise to Port Vale in League 2. Praise also to Wycombe (never thought I'd be saying that) and to a lesser extent Doncaster in League 1. For not behaving like cocks.

Odd considering Rovers voted to end the season by appointing Garner.

So 9 want to play out the season, 7 don't, and 7 are sat on the fence. I'm a bit surprised that we are allegedly voting to finish the season, when that's only going to get us into more debt. We have nothing to play for. This pushes our Club, and quite a few others closer to financial collapse. Bizarre from Wael.

Effectively a competitive pre-season with gate receipts from our point of view?

I see Nigel Clough has left Burton Albion.Apparently his wages - and assistants I think - had become an increasing burden on the Brewers.
His Dad would of been proud of "our number 9".
Some lucky club will pick up an excellent Manager.

But we'll lose out on any Furloughing payments and also have to pay for testing etc, which is apparently prohibitive, if we had a any chance of making the play offs I could see the logic, as it is surely just shutting up shop and surviving til next season is the sensible choice? Unless Wael just wants to rack up more needless debts the ALQ's can then earn interest on. We can't really even use it as an extended pre-season has probably most of the present squad will leave anyway, OC, Sercs, Rodders etc.

I'm guessing though, and take your point about the cost of testing

If the league does have to end we cut our losses, thank BG for his efforts bung him a few quid and tatty bye, then bring in NC to rebuild our squad and back him.
We would be serious contenders. And it would pay for itself if we were successful.
Otherwise, with BG at the helm we will never be taken seriously until he proves he can manage, let alone manage our club.
