They would probably double their gate receipts and increase their prize money substantially. It's the same in league 1 with my club Raith Rovers. If this season is scrapped in thinking of if just supporting my local junior team and stand with my pint whilst watching the game. It's the way forward 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 They can't because they don't know when government guidelines will be loosened, and the government don't know when that will be because no one knows when the virus will run it's course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Think if after the easter weekend another period of prolong lockdown is announced then the SPFL/SFA will probably move swiftly to make a decision cause a majoor extension to this lockdown will take us into May at the earliest, even suggestions the lockdown could go into June.

Skyline Drifter Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 4 hours ago, virginton said: UEFA is the actual decision-making body here because it wants European qualification and the CL timetable for next season determined within a commonly agreed timetable: FIFA is a rubber stamp only. It really isn't. UEFA has no power to change the definition of a season, tamper with windows, or the two club rule for that matter. Nor have they any jurisidiction on player contracts These are all FIFA matters. UEFA can suggest, ask, request, etc but it can't make the decisions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First to publish it maybe. Most clubs have been in furlough either mostly or entirely since the option was made available. We certainly have. Queen of the South closed all operations from 20th March and sent everyone home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will likely sing from the same hymn sheet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Flash Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Wimbledon statement says “With the likelihood that the Government’s measures will continue for many months...” they can’t prepare properly and they have ruled out a postponement because “the people supplies and services legally required to stage the Championships would not be available at any point this summer”. Not definitive, but quite a strong indication that organised sport won’t be happening before the end of August. https://www.wimbledon.com/en_GB/news/articles/2020-04-01/cancellation_of_the_championships_2020.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAVIDB69 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 The kind of unofficial feeling with UEFA seems to be big leagues need finished due to the tv contracts , no one really gives a shit about small countries and their leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
