Season 2020/21 - When Will It Start? - Sponsored by Covid-19

Take a punt when you think the new season will start, and will we have both domestic competitions?

I'm going for October, and I'm expecting the League Cup and FA Cup to be scrapped for the season. League Cup binned to reduce fixture congestion, and the FA Cup has next to no chance as it starts in the Summer with the Non-League clubs.

Yeah, October sounds about right but is still very much an unknown.

Purely an idle thought on the FA Cup, but maybe the prize monies could be pooled and shared out amongst the ‘non-league’ teams, with the competition being exclusively open to FL teams only.....yeah, stinks doesn’t it?

Yep, October sounds about right. Wouldn't necessarily expect it to be in front of crowds though.

On the subject of money, and that's a great call btw, I haven't see anything anywhere about the big TV deals and them wanting money back if games don't conclude this season. That would hit the PL hard. Big money.
