Hope you are right but I have been hearing the Premier League and other sports have been discussing with government and health officials start date of September 12th with 30 to 50% crowds all wearing masks and opening stadia 3 hours before kickoff, would personally prefer your option.

a week later than what i thought, but whats just one week. quicker the fixtures are out after the play off finals then it will give clubs a bit of a goal to concentrate on. fans also might become more positive about the situation also.

The season my start earlier but I reckon by 26th fans will be back.

Seems a bit early with two premier league teams possibly playing on the 23rd August, unless they are more or less playing straight through.

To meet TV deal requirements they need 34 weekend matches fitted in also need to finish before Euro,s they will probably ditch the Carabo cup and FA cup replays they wanted that anyway.

Re: Coronovirus

Carabao Cup will not be "ditched"; far too lucrative to EFL and their members (clubs)

FA Cup replays "might" be under threat earlier in the Competition; but nothing agreed.

Championship and PL "close" season's will be very short, as very little room for manovoure with the European Championships being moved back from this summer

that cup is but where are they going to fit all the fixtures in. i do not know how the sponsor would feel, but the ideal thing would be to start at round 3 with the same teams there as for last season. those who never made it could get the money they received last season. same with the FA cup for non league clubs. start at round one proper with the same sponsorship as clubs got last season who didn,t make it.

Like Cashman says nobody knows for sure what is going to happen, but IMHO if we are as a population going to be guided by the Covid alert system which is currently at level 3 to me limits on all walks of life including full crowds back at football won't happen until we move to level 1, which is no presence of the virus in the country or a vaccine.

for me if that is the case we are going to have a long wait. the virus will not totally go away. i imagine there are cases of other things that we thought had gone away but surface from time to time.

Re: Coronovirus

Players back next couple of weeks in training.
4-6 weeks of a ‘pre-season’ behind closed doors initially.

What football and other sports and entertainment venues have to hope is that when restrictions are lifted people will return as before, judging by the response of the public to the re opening of pubs, shops restaurants etc, the initial response isn't one of rushing back. People have changed spending habits lots have lost jobs and there is the fear factor football needs to be wary of thinking everyone will rush back.
