    Daily Mail says the following on page 103 today....

    The Premier League's so called rebel six have been joined by an equivalent gang of five in the championship, with a handful of clubs resolutely opposed to resuming the season. Intriguingly three of the five are located in Yorkshire, which may or may not be related to the fact neighbours Leeds are the division's leaders and on course to return to the top flight for the first time in 16 years.

    I bet we are which is why it's stupid letting clubs decide. If the precedent is set that no relegations happen from league 2 then all three clubs in a relegation place in the championship will vote against restarting as we can happily finish bottom and stay up.
    Hull and Huddersfield won't want it to restart because they benefit from it ending now. Its a farce letting teams with self interest vote.

    If I had to guess the 5 who want it null and voiding with 3 from the yorkshire region I'd guess us,luton,charlton,hull and huddersfield all want it ending with no relegation.

    my gast was well and truly flabbered yesterday reading that league 2 clubs have decided that there’s no relegation, and then the EFL just shrugged its shoulders and said it’s up to the clubs in the individual leagues to decide.

    Total fuckwittery of the highest order from a governing body.

    I've heard today that league one will go the same way as league two when they meet up again next week.

    Watched the Dortmund game, if that's what the future is I'm not bothered about watching. Made pre season games look exciting. Didn't feel or look right, some players looked off it as well.

    I thought exactly the same, serious question though if next season starts with no fans I imagine the games will all be on ifollow. My local landlord thinks September/October before pubs are back open. I imagine town will be busy on a saturday at 3pm with folk watching the games in pubs.

    Society has massive decisions to make. Those decisions won't be made in coming weeks, or months, but they will be made.

    I'm in favour of staying safe, not one of these far right freedom morons. The truth is though there is only so far you can end normal civilisation in a fight against a virus, or the virus has won anyway. Not making any predictions or taking any sides, just laying it out there,

    I didn't watch it but the idea of playing games behind closed doors doesn't sit well with me at all. I don't think football should be starting again until fans can watch from the terraces.

    My club are going down if it restarts.

    Hence, get it voided. It is irrelevant to me that it will upset West Brom. If the club have taken that same stance, fair play.

    Include Wendy after they get the 20+ point deduction. Silly me. “Won’t happen”

    Unfortunately you're completely right.
