Thanks for your best wishes.
I won't be the only one that loses someone to this. Stay safe all.

Many thanks.

Thanks for the concern by a few members on here that have contacted me. Unfortunately my friend died. He was a truly good man and will be sorely missed. Basically, he went in with lung infection, 4 days later he just got worse so they put him in a coma to ventilate him. His organs started to fail, k...

As I've said along, cancel season, no ups or downs go again when it's safe to do so.

That is the least controversial and easiest way to do it.

Only top 2 will be moaning with 22 other clubs being happy to go again.

Nearly 6 weeks without a win we are due a draw at least.

Many Thanks DD.
Stay safe.

Thanks RD. Yes hopefully society will never underfund healthcare and take key workers for granted again. I'm no lefty but I agree in treating people equally and fairly and we should be looking after the less fortunate, the elderly and the vulnerable. Also I hope this horrible virus focuses minds on ...

This is not exclusive to me and I'm sure others on here now have similar tales already.One of my best lifelong mates ( 54) non smoker strong as an ox and no underlying health issues is on life support with CV In queens It don't look good. Another friend 52 who was not so healthy but by no means part...

We're looking at a further 3 weeks at least lockdown. Even then this disease won't be gone.
I don't think there'll be any football for a year. Just because you close the doors doesn't mean the players are immune. Police and medics are needed elsewhere.

Cancel the season. It's over !!

I've said this all along, it still makes sense to just cancel the season. It is the route of least resistance. Can you imagine any scenario that doesn't leave any clubs moaning?? It's only tough luck for the teams that would have gone up. The vast majority would be fed up but relieved they stayed in...

Only fair way is to null and void.

Works dried up for the foreseeable future so tidied up my shed, sorted out my sea fishing gear and I've been flying my drone. Which other than footy are my biggest hobbies.
Anyone else got a drone ?

Can't see how this would be anything to celebrate.
Football clubs do lots for community employ people and provide all the things we get by attending our club.

Let's say only 50,000 die of CV , who is actually going to pipe up about poxy non league football in the wake of that ? Given every club will have fans staff or families effected by it.

Unless they can play the outstanding games It is the only way to sort it out fairly.

Just to be devil's advocate Yes they could play behind closed doors. What if I'm a player and I'm worried about catching/ spreading the virus? How can you make me play ? The only lawsuit I could see having some weight would be against the national League if they were to insist teams play. It is mild...
