Corona league one

[PuB]

If mass gatherings are banned then how will the season be decided (obviously this isn’t a worry for tiny teams like Fleetwood), behind closed doors? Or just cancelled completely?

How can we cope without gate revenue when the majority of us are already on a shoestring budget?

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

As long as they don't make the season null and void...

 

[Kim Jong Un]

promote Oxford as the best placed play-off team IMHO

 

[Shrimpurh]

Games behind close doors and Southend United will go bust we aren’t far off it anyway

 

[TractorBoys]

I think it should be decided on preseason betting odds.

 

[TractorBoys]

We're announcing today that our games are going to be played behind doors with free streaming passes for the rest of the season for all ST holders.

Expect ALL L1 clubs to follow suit. You have probably watched your last game of the season in person already, folks.

Good idea but would some fans want to watch the games of some clubs !

 

[Davidimp]

Makes sense , I'm thinking behind closed doors until easter at least for all games with free passes to iFollow for season ticket holders.

Any source?

Our manager has today said the weekend will play as normal but expects there will be behind closed doors games in the following weeks but would hope the season is delayed.

As a goodwill gesture I reckon OUFC should play a benefit game away to Wuhan Rovers!

They're isolated and scared in Wuhan, just like you lot on derby day!

Didn’t look much like that last time

Our place or yours?

Posturing behind OB doesn't count.

 

[Indian Dan]

Our place was a good old fashioned cavalry charge on the grassy knoll!

Be good to have it back next season if we haven’t all been wiped out by then. I might have to return for them 2.

 

[Back in the DHSS]

I’d be happy if this season was abandoned and all results declared null and void. If for no other reason than to see my full kit Liverpool fan relatives in meltdown!

According to the older lot Oxford taking the Clown End was a regular occurrence

I can remember the Swindon lot running away, after giving it the big one, when our lot kicked down the exit gate to get at them when the Stratton Bank was terracing.

...and we risk the football season being cancelled because of the drain on emergency services.

Let's get on with each other for a few months. Then there will be a league between us anyway

They always run anyway unless turning up in a Double Decker then they couldn't run.

 

[Reginald Fodstain]

Sorry to break up the Swindon v Oxford posh derby bollocks, but it's a genuinely good question... we'd obviously prefer the season null and void but that won't happen. So how will they calculate it if the season can't be completed - current league standings or form tables over the last ten games etc?

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

It is either finished or cancelled.
Cannot be any other way.

 

[WhiteRussian]

Totally agree. I just cannot see another way. I can't see this getting any better for at least a few months so in reality I think the only choice is to cancel.

 

[Shrimpurh]

Do I want to stay up and face another season of getting smashed every week

What’s the difference? It’ll be the same in L2!

 

[Reginald Fodstain]

We have a game in hand on Wimbledon and still have to play them, so if they finish the season now, a relegation play off would be fair. That is to say it would absolutely not be fair, there's so many factors that aren't possible to take into account, but assuming that the last relegation spot is between us two, that's how I'd do it. The sides above Wimbledon, who were also potentially in the running, get away with it for simplicity.

Mail are reporting (yes I know!) games could be played at neutral venues behind closed doors so they can at least have medical personal etc at matches.

Could the EFL do this too?

I’m sure the bookmakers would be very happy with this too!
I’m all for it. Surely some form of normality has to carry on!

 

[Super_horns]

EFL going to help clubs out ;

[Shrimpurh]

Probably vital for us this but also think we need a bit more. Hope they aren’t expecting us to be able to pay anything back

 

[Indian Dan]

Works out at about £704,000 per club if evenly distributed - which I doubt it will be.

Spit in the ocean for the likes of Leeds, complete game changer for us bottom feeders.

Wonder who’ll get what.
