BobLoz3 492 Posted March 13, 2020 There are 32 cases in the east of England and that's remained stable for a couple of days without any increases. It is kind of odd that there aren't any in Norfolk, as you'd imagine people would travel from all corners of east England to come to Norwich etc. Maybe we're just naturally immune because of all the recent pig shart stench in the air or perhaps we're just more clean than all of the other counties 😊 I bet those 32 are all in Ipswich 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,314 Posted March 13, 2020 I don't think that there can be successful legal challenges if they end up voiding it (once it becomes clear games cannot start up again) because everyone has been treated equally and fairly and the season's fixtures simply have not been fulfilled. If they try things like putting up the current top two from the championship or just declaring the current positions as final and relegating the current bottom three from the premier league then I think you will be into legal challenge territory, particularly in relation to relegating teams out of the premier league.

Nono 19 Posted March 13, 2020 A silver lining to what is going to be a real tragedy? No way they can catch this up and start a news season now with the proper breaks etc. Best option would have to be to freeze the leagues and start fresh when they can with next season...

Nuff Said 5,089 Posted March 13, 2020 I had a quick look on WACCOE and it doesn't seem to have occurred to them yet that the season might be declared null and void. I have to admit to being tempted to lob in a thread suggesting it. 🤪 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benchwarmer 624 Posted March 13, 2020 It's being suggested that Euro 2020 could be postponed for a year, to enable the EPL and other European leagues to complete. Money talks, and it's all about priorities. They will do anything to preserve the elite leagues. FA Cup is disposable too - worst case scenario for NCFC.

ricardo 7,347 Posted March 13, 2020 Anyone who thinks we will be resuming on April 3rd is living in dreamland. The numbers will be in acceleration mode by then and for weeks after. The powers that be are being swept along by events. Everyone is still massively behind the curve and the reluctance ti take the necessary measures will prolong the agony. The season is a dead parrot, done, deceased, bereft of life. It has kicked up its heels and joined the choir eternal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
