Folks
85% of the EFL's income comes from Sky and Sky Bet. We (the clubs) all NEED that money.
When you sponsor a league you expect to get rewards.
Live games is one of them and they (Sky) want you good people to view their product.
Clubs also get a facility fee to assist them with an inconviences for Sky showing the game.
I Follow is a substitute for fans not attending games. Home ST holders have been offered in lieu of not fully cancelling their ST's. Nobody ever thought of a full season without fans.
In L1 home clubs received a pre-agreed amount of away fans subscriptions in lieu of lost gate recepits. Not great but ASFC have done ok this season.
All not perfect, but it's got us through this season.
What we will have next season is still; sadly unclear !!
