Royals and Racers It`s reported that the FA Trophy going forward could look like this
1st round 7th-9th December( or 5th if both teams agree)
2nd round 14th-16th December
3rd round 19th December

It looks like this season’s FA Trophy will finish before last seasons.

Rumour currently is that the Championship will resume on Saturday 20th June. It’ll get interesting on 1st July when suddenly some players are no longer under contract though I suspect the authorities/players themselves may either allow contracts to be extended to the end of the season or just re-si...

I think you’re missing the point here. Money won’t be redirected as it’s going to be considerably lower than it has been. We’re going to have to wait and see what the TV deals are going to be first and then it’ll filter down I don’t think there’s much reason to think that there will be less money i...

There is a very good article in the Grauniad about EFL finances by Mark Palios of Tranmere.

Reading 0 Chesterfield 0 in 88/89 or 89/90. A game so devoid of action, the highlight was Gary Phillips miscontrolling a backpass out for a corner. Odd thought it may sound, I vividly remember that game for being so utterly bad. If it was the same game I had in mind then you are right. My memory wa...

For the EFL to get up and running, there will have to be mass testing of each team who will then need isolating for the remainder of the season possibly for 2 months in a hotel away from their families. Where are the games played. The same isolation period will apply to officials, non playing staff,...

This is an interesting article in Sports Illustrated. It does base itself on American sports but shows how difficult it is to proceed behind closed doors.

Yep, but putting yourself into administration to achieve the same end, not owing your players anymore won't go down too well with them anyway. This is all bollx anyway because if you dont pay your footballer creditors you aren't allowed in the league, administration does nothing for those debts. Un...

150 non league clubs have sent a legal letter to the FA. Unhappy that decision made to finish season. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52160742 I understand that there are nearly 900 clubs in steps 3-6 and about 750 haven’t signed perhaps indicating that they accept the decision although it doe...

Sky have just announced that subscribers can pause their Sky Sports subscriptions. Can only be done by phone.

AthleticoSpizz Personally, I hope they go under

Return the ‘crown-jewel’ sports (especially national events) back to the nation on terrestrial

I hope you are right but I suspect Netflix or Amazon would step in or PL take opportunity to launch their own channel.

With the probability of a lack of meaningful live sport for several months how will the TV satellite companies fare. I have considered cancelling Sky Sports particularly as they asked for an increase in subscriptions recently. With much of their income from licensed premises and the likelihood of th...

Bonzodog Early reports suggest EFL suspended until 4th April via @danroan

Pointless on the scientific and medical advice but heyho.

If the medical advice is correct and the peak is 10-14 weeks away. That could mean 3 months before it resumes.

La Liga now suspended for minimum 2 weeks.
