    Both Premier League games are still on.
    3/7 in the Championship.
    4/10 in League One.
    2/11 in League Two.

    Only 11/30 matches are still on in our top four leagues. It's not good enough is it? It costs clubs money in lost revenue. It annoys fans who have their plans ruined. Rules should be tightened to make matches more likely to go ahead so if you can't raise a first team tough fill the bench with some developmental players. It looks like it's too easy to get games called off.

    It's an utter pisstake but I can't blame clubs for exploiting an open goal to get games called off over a traditionally congested period. The season should've been paused for a few weeks and extended into late May.

    Then that messes up next seasons schedule & fitting in the World Cup, if only there was somewhere that could host a World Cup in the traditional summer dates at such short notice

    The point still stands though, clubs need to do better to play the games. Use the u23’s or youth players. And I’m fairly sure some clubs will be getting preferential treatment from the FA/EFL.

    If clubs were made to field the best teams they had available it would be too fair and aid our cause. We'd have had a chance of staying up if clubs weren't granted leeway.

    With the World Cup if it doesn’t settle down soon the season will struggle to get finished.

    If you mean England I think the utter garbage that stormed Wembley in the Euros have put paid to any chances of that happening at short notice and probably for some time on the future .
    There should have been a USA 6th of January type of rooting out of these thugs and some Gaol time handed out .
