Did everyone see this BBC online article about the leaked report?
"There are fears fans will not be able to attend English Football League games until January 2021, according to a leaked recording heard by the BBC.
Alex Rodman, Professional Footballers' Association delegate for Bristol Rovers, was talking to team-mates after a call with clubs, the EFL and PFA."

Sadly, for some, it wont be until after vaccination Rob. I hope clubs bear this in mind for their SC holders
 
If this is the case and the season starts in August for example (not likely I know) how do we think the lack of fans in stadiums will affect clubs going forward? Will the loss of gate money be offset by TV money? Will no fans in stadiums be judged by the amount of people in said stadium? How does that then affect the non league game which has lower attendance figures?

It means the whole shambles that is the football league is on the edge of a precipice - if it doesnt get its head out its arz ,clubs will be folding within a matter of weeks and thousands of footballers will be signing on. Those in charge havent a clue.
Peoples health comes top priority.
The overpaid stuffed pigs in "charge"(?!!) at the top, have no connect with those clubs who rely on gates receipts, local volunteers and long hours from dedicated staff.
I must admit, at first I thought the season should have been finished ASAP. But, given the severity of the pandemic and witnessing people grieving for their loved ones, sooner put the game to bed till its safe to play again than bury our relatives and friends.(y)
 
Quite a number of fans will have paid for next season's season card before the early bird renewal date was put on hold and may now need that money to help them through the current climate,do you think the club should offer a refund as there seems little chance of games going ahead with fans in attendance for the foreseeable future.
 
Players out of contract might find it difficult to get a job.

Interesting listening to that leaked message players asked to vote on playing on in August knowing they won’t get a severance payment because they would be out of contract. No club will have the money to sign all these players on with no income.
 
Clubs are already getting rid of players i read Colchester have let 4 first team players go because they cant afford to offer them new contracts. There is going to be a lot of unemployed footballers.

Gary Neville's suggesting they finish the Premier League abroad, which is farcical.

It's a slippery slope.

I agree BoroBen, it should be completed, but then I think all leagues should be, right down to Stocktons league, just for the fairness of sport, but not at this moment, maybe later on in the year when life is a bit safer to go about your daily duties
