I'm starting this thread again because it seems to have been a casualty of the change over to the new site. The Terriers scecured another away win last night at Burton. Two wins in a row now after a barren spell. It'll all go pear shaped on Friday when we go to Norwich because the game is to be televised , we haven't won on the telly for ages.

I see that League 2 have decided that they would like to end the season now but that they want three teams promoted and no relegation.

If that isn't wanting your cake and eat it I don't know what is.๐Ÿค“

Don't know where that puts local team, as it's top of it's division and should get promotion. Could well result in court action yet.

Yes I feel sorry for teams like Barrow, where I believe we've a player on loan.

Now apparently they're talking about combining League 2 with the  National League and making a League 2 North  and a League 2 South.

That'll be a blast from the past when there used to be Third Division North and Third Division South, which I always thought was because of the cost and difficulty of travel in the pre motorway era.

If League 2 get their way that will mean The Alex being promoted Brian๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

As much as I'd like to see t'Alex up there in Division One again Mate,   I cannot reconcile my thoughts of Promotion / Relegation etc with some 'manufactured end of season results'  Roger, t'aint natural to my simple mind frown

Scrub this season and Start again in September at the earliest is my view, I'm afraid.

I'm right there with you on this Brian. My view is that the season should be declared null and void. You could make a case for declaring Liverpool Premier league champions after all they only need two more wins and Man City would have to win all their remaining matches and Liverpool lose all theirs to go above them.

I thought I had read that the  league in Colombia had done this when they voided their season at the beginning of the pandemic because their league leaders were in a similar position.

However money talks in football so I'm also sure they'll try to cobble together some scheme. They keep talking about protecting the integrity of the game, indeed the word integrity seems to be almost as well used as unprecedented. IMHO integrity is the last thing they've shown so far.

Rant over. Stay safe UTT Rog

Haven't seen that information anywhere, although it wouldn't surprise me if it did happen. Barrow may be fortunate in that they could be promoted to fill the place left when Bury folded. I'm sure they'd take it if offered if the league's decide to null and void the season.

any news on "operation restart?"

Posted on 19/05/2020 20:47

Only that the clubs are to start training, under strict rules re numbers, hygiene and social distancing etc. The players/staff are to undergo virus tests this week, and 6 already have tested positive,and so have to self isolate for 7 days. Troy Deeney has said that he will not go into training to protect his family's health, and others may well follow suit.

Premier league clubs are supposed to be starting training today and Championship clubs are to start testing some players on Thursday and Friday 

League 1 are deciding what to do on Friday and the smart money is on them following League 2
