Not even offering their fans an option of a refund for the remaining games this season or for those who have renewed for next season,just the offer of a stream and that's it.
They must really be in trouble financially.
 
In truth I think an awful lot of the EFL is in a dire situation.
Having just had a conversation with FSA - they tell me one argument fans have forgotten is if the Premier and EFL were declared void then the solidarity payments and money to grass roots would stop. Whatever you think of the morals of it all especially the Premier, that could cause many lower league and non league clubs to collapse. I worry about how football clubs in the lower leagues and non league will possibly survive if football starts again without supporters in stadiums.
 
I hope so. But I wonder how they will afford to run their grounds and facilities without any income. Who is going to help them?

Which goes right back to the beginning of all this shall we, shall we not play, no relegation, blah, blah, blah

The important issue is that many teams can fold not trying to rescue some sort of season when they don't want relegation, if there's prize money available give it to the team that need it

I would imagine they'll be relying on sponsorship and volunteers as much of it is now done. Players may have to go without payment but it is a hobby for the majority of players.

Bishop Auckland have had an appeal going, they've raised over £6k.

Didn't know that regarding the grass roots football, though how many fans do actually know this, the lower league clubs, non league clubs, have to be saved & helped financially, if possible, Bury was bad enough
