So if its not true about the promotion / relegation discussions then this PFA Rep has lied to his team mates.

Mr T · 01-05-2020, 12:32

Yes aware of the Bristol Rovers "leak".

The Bristol CEO was on our video meeting and told us how this came into the public domain.

Suspect PFA are telling PL and EFL one thing and something slightly different to their reps.

EFL are now talking directly to some club captains

And Cashy I,d bet money on it we won't be watching football live anytime soon and I for one ain't the slightest bit interested in behind closed doors premiership garbage on the box bet you aren't too.

If this closed-doors nonsense happens, what’s the likelihood, after the first few matches, that the broadcasters use ‘canned’ crowd effects to spice it up?

Couldn't care less won't be watching it.

Andy Sir;

Why is that your stance please ?

In my view watching via I Follow, with home clubs getting the money is the only way I can think of that professional football will survive.

Nothing is set in stone but what other options are there please ?

Sorry if I have been misleading I am subscribed to I follow and would watch Stanley if available I am on about the premiership. Have watched previous away games involving Stanley on I follow but personally think this season will be written off and presumably no crowds allowed till next year next season's format will have to be drawn up, hopefully with all clubs surviving but that is a big ask I,m afraid.

Mr T · 01-05-2020, 15:19

Cheers Sir for this clarification;

Only my view but until crowds are allowed; who knows when the only "income" I can think of it all games on I-Follow and the home club gets the money.

Also if clubs have sold season tickets; those people then can access to I follow as part of their ST until its safe to return.

This would also need fans to "play fairly" and not have lots of people watching games on 1 device.

That's apart from all of the less scrupulous ways of accessing ifollow for nothing via firesticks which are doing an absolutely roaring trade right now.

This among other things is the problem football without fans/income is like any other business it will struggle, look at retail clothing shops warning 20% will never reopen, non food retailers warning things will take years if ever to get back to where they were. Football and other sports are not immune things will be tough for a lot of clubs any form of income will be looked on gladly.

Good question Sir;

Sir Seamus wants to be on the calls; but he has 2 lovely children so family life takes over
Suspect this will be questioned;

Very happy to say I had a great 1 to 1, socially distanced chat with Seamus yesterday; keep an eye on the BBC

Twenty Eight · 01-05-2020, 20:58

I'm aware of his interview Mark. Look forward to watching it on BBC Breakfast ... if not tomorrow then Monday.

A question for Mr.T, if you don't mind it's been 7 weeks since a ball has been kicked and bearing in mind this is uncharted territory for everyone and a lot of criticism being aimed at various footballing bodies, has there been any major decisions made yet or is everything still up in the air?
