ziggyram59 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 With the coronavirus pandemic getting worse and the chances of fans returning to games getting more remote, how long can some EFL clubs before they go out of business? because at the rate were going I will be very surprised if all 72 clubs complete the season.

I fear you're right, I'd guess anywhere between three and ten just fold with quite a few more in peril. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FindernRam Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I think they may survive but by going part - time with staff and players and possibly even going amateur. After all many clubs below the 72 survive by doing exactly that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil62uk Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Even without this vile pandemic Clubs have gone over the years Sad to say a lot more will go just can't see how they can survive . Part-time is a possible option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinhectoring Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Where there is a good local fan base most of the ones that go bust will find a way to come back. As hopefully happens to our local pub. But it will be a long process. A big danger is developers who want to build flats on the grounds. But local planners and restrictive covenants will stop that in many cases. Crowdfunding could play a big part in helping them revive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mafiabob Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Probably not in next 2/3 years - gambling act review coming up in next few weeks and months, massive pushback on advertising and sports sponsorship around it. Can see some clubs will struggle without that sort of revenue, however you feel about it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
