Rovers2017 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I can see this ending up being you get given the remaining funds for whatever position your team is in, but there will be no promotion or relegation. The way this has been handled has been absolutely farcical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is irrelevant that 85% of clubs voted for. The only relevant fact is that 75% of championship clubs didn’t. Is £9M was being distributed to the lower league clubs. The premiership can’t get theirs until their league is called Good news never sold newspapers, these journos love to mix it up to get reactions. Today's newspapers are yesterdays news. They are a dying business, as a colleague once said, 'There used to be Blacksmiths'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Pretty sure they released a statement indicating they’d be voting for it. I’d guess Edinburgh City.I thought Edinburgh City had been confirmed as No 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifespud Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 The season cannot be voided either.Why can’t it be? As I’ve said several times if you’re 5 up in a midweek game and there’s a total power failure the match is null and void - that’s the football precedent when an event is incomplete. I can see this ending up being you get given the remaining funds for whatever position your team is in, but there will be no promotion or relegation. The way this has been handled has been absolutely farcical. Rovers2017 kens. It’s all about keeping the Arabs down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Why not play the season out (when safe to do so) and then use the situation as a catalyst to reconstruct fully and move to summer football in 2021?16 team premiership and championship (4 up automatically, 5th v 12th playoff and no automatic relegation). Remaining 6 championship clubs, top 9 from league 1 and Cove Rangers make up new championship.10 team bottom league with a long look at going regional at that level in the long run.Next season runs March-November 2021 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I’ve said several times if you’re 5 up in a midweek game and there’s a total power failure the match is null and void - that’s the football precedent when an event is incomplete. That's not an equivalent situation. A single match is not the same thing as a season. Calling a match an event doesn't give it an equivalence to a different type of event. It is also the precedent in Scottish football because the match can be replayed at a later date. What is the precedent when the match cannot be replayed? In many competitions around the world, a match is not declared void in that situation but completed at a later date. And there are also examples when a result at the time of abandonment has stood especially when, like in this situation, it can't be played at a later date. In any case, the biggest issues surround the financial repercussions of voiding the season. This is where it is important to emphasise that a season is very different to a single match. One creates a relatively small financial issue, the other a very, very big one. The bottom line here is that voiding the season is not an option. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next season runs March-November 2021 I think everyone was wanting this to be the case, but now it doesn't look like it could happen within a reasonable time frame. New tv deal for the top league kicks in on a certain date. Things probably need finalised before that happens I'm guessing. Summer football, do most people want it and what about the international competitions the next two summers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Told you last time you raised this - it's ridiculous to use the example of one game cancelled in normal circumstances with plenty of opportunity to reschedule it as a precedent for a whole season of games over four divisions in circumstances where there is no chance of rescheduling the games. Null and void isn't an option here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
