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.
 
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.

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

Why some ?
Why not all ?

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 :)
 
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?
 
Nothing is in and nothing is out; PL and EFL plan is to re-start BUT the issue in L1 and L2 is that a lot of clubs have contracts with expire on June 30th. Will all clubs have enough registered players to complete the season in a competative manner.
Main focus has been meetings with the PFA who are only slowly joining in.
 
Thanks for that Mr. T, having seen that Colchester published their release list the other day with 16 players on it others will probably follow suit. It's a very trying time logistically and I think some managers won't be happy to carry on with reduced squads reduced transfer windows whatever gets thrown in the makeup. It's going to be a financial nightmare I think for the majority of clubs do you think personally some will inevitably fold.

you would have expected them to have been talking weeks ago as it affects the livelihood and possibly the health of their members. said at the outset of all this i was looking for their point of view. suppose thats why i heard nothing in relpy at the time.

worried, love football, love Stanley but can’t see I will be able to watch the team play at the Wham anymore this year, so this means no season ticket sales for next season so how does our club survive

It's more likely to survive if it doesn't have to waste money on the stupid idea of finishing the season behind closed doors, better to write it off baton down the hatches unfortunately let out of contract players go and when it's deemed safe enough for fans it's safe enough for players, hopefully Stanley and the majority of clubs will be still around and raring to go. Inevitably though football will change hopefully financially at the very least so has clubs aren't forever walking a tightrope.
