For instance T Cell immunity is leading to circa 70-80% never catching this virus because these people had similar colds when they were a lot younger. Vaccine could prompt the same behaviour. I believe normal will return ... otherwise life will be pretty awful full stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this basis we urgently need to pick up some points, as even Sheff Wed are closer than you think, when you take their 6 point penalty into account. BTW, Tammy, were you the Rams fan that I exchanged pleasantries with on Tuesday, close to Tamworth Castle? You can see the argument already. Points per game before a points penalty or points per game after the penalty. I bet that isn’t covered in the rules anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought the season would have to have reached a certain stage before it was decided on points per game. Anywhere near half the season still to play sounds way too early. Last season, teams in league one only had about ten games remaining when the season was ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harwich ram Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 As much as I love football I personally think that with this virus it shouldn't have even started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wollatonram Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I am not convinced covid will ever shut down football again because it's a small entertainment industry (almost a large bubble within players/staff) with very high precautions taken compared to other industrys and the ability for regular testing. What should stop is international football as that is other bubbles mixing and players from several different clubs/countries mixing. There is no evidence that football is infested with coronavirus, or ever has been because they take it seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provided it’s undertaken safely, as it appears to have been so far, then I think it was the right thing to do. Unfortunately, other forms of entertainment (theatres, cinemas, holidays etc) were never going to fare so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I agree that a certain stage of the season must be met, but after being totally unprepared for the events of last season, it would have been foolish for the EFL not to have made provisions for all eventualities in coming seasons, at the last meeting of the league clubs.

I agree with you that they should have made provisions for all eventualities but, I would have thought that it might be something along the lines of: If the season is ended after a certain numbers had been completed then a points per game approach would be adopted for any remaining games. However, if the season is ended before a certain number of games had been completed then the season would be deemed null and void. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be quite a simple calculation in reality, they started the season with minutes 6 points, you average the amount of points gained since then, then take off the 6 divided by 46, simples.
