Take everything that Andy Holt says on twitter with a pinch of salt at least Andy had thoughts similar to mine at the beginning of this pandemic when pre Portsmouth game he was tweeting about not sending the team down to play. Take what the premiership and government say about lower leagues with a large pinch of salt is more the norm.They seem to think that the public would be boosted by showing games like we have nothing else to think about, shot down in a survey only 19% agreed, they should have cancelled the lot at the beginning and start again when we can all start together.

I’d look at the demographics of that survey before making any judgment on it.
It’s easy to manipulate something like that to get the answer you (the media in this case) want.

Not manipating anything just passing on a comment my own wish in all of this is that the welfare of all football is looked after as much as it is possible to do so, not risking it's future concentrating on short term risks to certain clubs personal,s health and the long term health of the game as an whole.
Sorry Andy, I wasn’t implementing yourself to be manipulating the outcome. More so the YouGov poll. Look at the demographics of who was asked.
I agree Josh.
Regardless of covid-19 we have to accept that some departures maybe we'd prefer not to happen.
It's players such as Yosser and Seamus that I cant understand us not keeping for another year.
Solid pros such as these two are a Godsend if again we will be taking chances with kids.
Just my opinion.
As nobody has a clue when Stanley will have crowds back and nobody on here apart from Mr.T perhaps has any idea apart from trying to guess as I did potential new contracts I fear just won't be there unless something from outside or health guidelines significantly improve earlier than anticipated sadly I think the very survival of the club comes before any player however experienced or talented. This won't only be the case at Stanley but at most clubs in this league and below even maybe above who knows but it is an interesting debate sadly at the cost of a lot of people's livelihoods.
You know what is ironic in all this ? One club that now does have a solid base is Bolton Wanderers.
Watch them buy their way to the League Two title.

Have they decided who,s being relegated must have missed something.
Nothing set in stone, however, the current bottom 3 are favourites for the drop to league 2. I think a number of owners would be miffed if Bolton were allowed to stay in League 1 (along with Southend and Tranmere (who I have nothing against), but it would mean that the points deduction they got at the beginning of the season would be for nothing and mean they have effectively 'got away with it'. My personal hope is for the PPG option or even current standings, either way, it means Stanley continue in League 1 when football eventually returns.
Tranmere on a cracking run of form, game in hand plus extra home game.
If it’s done on weighted PPG it will be close.

Think it’s Oxford promoted instead of Wycombe.
Peterborough, Portsmouth, Ipswich & Sunderland all remaining in League 1 for another season. Wouldn’t of thought that at the start of the season!
Big week ahead next week. EFL hampered by wanting to make fresh discussions and start from beginning but some clubs have already have discussions and a lot further along with ideas than others.
No it's definitely Wycombe just double checked Oxford 4th and Peterborough about 7th this is why their chairman is threatening legal action really to stop any legal challenges IMHO best way is either continue which is looking unlikely or null and void.
What, you really think there would be no legal challenges if the whole season was declared null and void so runaway leaders didn't get promoted?
Winners and losers either way, losers always likely to be sore!
On a weighted PPG I’ve got Oxford 3rd on 75.92 points and then Wycombe in 6th on 74.71 points. Definitely Oxford in top 3 then play offs made up of Fleetwood, Peterborough, Wycombe, Portsmouth.

Your quite right Chimer no easy answers like I said finishing the season is the fairest way but very unlikely whenever we do restart squads across the game will likely be decimated teams looking very different voiding the season isn't ideal but neither are any other way just having a club still solvent will be the biggest issue for a lot, EFL need to be setting some plan out for clubs to try and follow but it appears from the outside they are waiting for the premiership,s lead even Andy Holt has commented on lack of steering from authorities.
Trust youIt would all depend on how the ‘Weighting’ is applied? I would say that Wycombe would go up by ‘Weighting’ because they’ve got AKINFENWA!
Hope you are keeping well my friend
You can apply any methodology - finish the season average points blah blah - they’re down.
nothing against bolton really but they need to be relagated if only to show that points deductions are seen as a deterant for all clubs in the future.
