ziggyram59 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 First of all I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Do you think we will get through the season without a shut down again? Because this Coronavirus seems to be getting worse and I have seen colleagues from work/friends suffer from it. Interested in anyone's thought's.

Players are getting the virus more often and some, like the Newcastle players, are getting the longer version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loftyhites Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Hopefully we get out the bottom 3 soon. Last season, there was the talk of ending the season prematurely with clubs relegated/promoted according to their current positions. If the virus shuts down football for a sustained period, that option may be discussed again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Cheery news for Christmas morning. If the EFL doesn’t make testing mandatory then it will do. You only have to look at the number of outbreaks spreading in lower league clubs. There doesn’t seem to be as much of an issue in the Prem where they test twice a week I think, cases tend to be isolated which can be dealt with.

EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Short term, yes as It seems to be spreading so fast at the moment. I keep an eye every week of various towns where i know people, and some places like London went from 200 per 100k to 600 in 2 weeks. Longer term, the virus is hopefully the magic wand. Joyeux Merry Xmas to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoxallRam Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I’d be surprised. The government know how important it is to keep sport going during this time. The premier league has it rigorous testing system in place, if the EFL (at least the championship) copy that then I don’t see why it couldn’t continue.

1967RAMS Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 It may get to the stage where it becomes very disjointed, games getting called off with increased frequency. This may extend the season too much. Unlike last summer there won’t be the option to extend as the Euros takes place. I don’t think the positions will stand if it’s called off in January, with more than half of the games remaining unplayed but you can imagine the hierarchy at the EFL creaming themselves at the prospect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positive rests resulting in squad isolation will postpone so many matches that the already compressed schedule will become unworkable. I think the season will be extended.

There is always the option to postpone the euros in much the same way as the olympics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
