  1. From what it sounds like, the fact that there seems to be a desire to come to an agreement means theres some sort of ambiguity there - id wager that Derby have refused to go to a simple straight-line amatorisation which has put the efl in a huff. EFL maybe have looked at the accounts and there working shows us being over p&s limits, whilst our working shows otherwise.

    If they were to charge us, we'd appeal and frankly we don't want that as we'd be under a longer Embargo and the efl are split where some clubs dont want to throw more money in litigation where there's a good chance theyd lose whilst other clubs still continue their crusade against us. 

    They've got us over a barrel because we need to rid ourselves of these problems to get the club sold and the Embargo is ruining our clubs chances.

    How many will be there tonight? Less than at the weekend you would have thought. Could be very sparse 

    I'm going for record low attendance for a competetive game at pride Park tonight, for all the reasons above plus the fact its league Cup against a lower league team and on sky. 

    I'm going for 7k.

    The official advice, now accepted by the Federal government, is that elimination remains the only strategy for Australia. NSW can eliminate it, but it's going to take them actually putting in proper restrictions, than than this patchwork stuff that keep going for. Sadly, they buggered up the response, but everyone saw this coming when it started. Gladys wanted to play politics with a virus and lost. 

    I just don't see how it's sustainable long term. Australia will indefinitely have to keep isolated with hotel quarantine to keep this up forever.

    Looks like NSW cases may trend down.. The contact tracing really does seem to work at low levels. 

    Australia probably handled the pandemic the best in the world after NZ but I don't understand how they can keep up the absolute zero covid policy forever unless you continue with HQ forever.

    Even when there's a high level of vaccination you will still get pockets of transmission because the vaccines as shown elsewhere aren't close to 100% transmission.

    The biggest issue here is different levels of government in charge of different things. Unfortunately the federal government is in charge of vaccinations and have totally ducked it up. People want the vaccinations but our main orders aren’t  due into the country till September. 

    Maybe we have been lucky but to date the only difference I’ve had since COVID started is 6 days of pubs being shut, didn’t lose 1 day of work. As for tourism in Qld, try getting accommodation, if you didn’t book anything 3 months in advance you have next to no chance of finding anything. Financially, our GDP actually grew last financial year. The talk is stage 2 kicking in early next year which will be when everyone has been given the opportunity of having the jab. Hopefully then we will be able to travel internationally. Tickets provisionally booked for Easter.

    I suspect the hardest part will be moving from the elimination strategy (which could be impossible in NSW anyway now, due to delta variant) to regularising international travel and the inevitability of covid growth.

    Seeing some australians comments online berating people for exercising outside incase you catch / spread covid shows how worlds apart the attitude is here and there. 

    How Australia failed to procure the vaccines it required does point to a lack of planning in how to exit its otherwise well executed strategy. There have been so few deaths.

    I don’t think we are necessarily doomed but the none sale of ST’s does hint at a need to be honest and not wishing to “trade knowingly whilst insolvent”. In this case directors can be personally liable for a limited co’s debts 

    Precisely my thinking.

    I really hope it hasn’t come to this but regardless of the EFL I don’t think it smells too good at the moment.

    Thought EFL  are meant to protect the fans as part of their remit but can't see what they've done recently for us.
