Over the next 3 months the rules on furloughing your staff change untill it is phased out in October without going into all the rules this is when companies including football clubs and authorities if looking at making redundancies will start the consulting stages. This is the crucial period for football clubs and their decisions on ways forward without income it is very difficult to chart a way forward and it's looking increasingly likely away support will be stopped for the immediate future so to me as many home fans you can get in is crucial. Season ticket income is an upfront in most cases one off payment if only these are allowed in there will be no payments on the day lots of problems to overcome.
I'm personally not happy hearing of anyone losing their job ....having been made redundant 6 times during my working life....now retired I'm glad to have a relatively secure and stable income to live on...

I think it will be much reduced crowds or no crowds. Fans know if they buy a season ticket and there is a second spike then money is lost like for the 6 games last season, and also there are a lot of older fans more at risk fro COVID-19, and there is a higher risk to middle aged men then women.
I think we will wait to see what the situation is in a month's time, if there is an increase in the R rate due to pubs ect reopening at the weekend, and a spike in cases, then I can't see a full reopening in 2020. Looking at the pub restrictions you have large pubs in the area who say it isn't safe to open as they can't put measures in place to ensure safety, and some small pubs that would be more risky opening on Saturday with amateurish measures. So i will be avoiding them until at least August.
Clubs and a lot of fans have lost money during COVID-19, but a lot of people who have nothing to spend money on and their wage has stayed the same or increased, and will have plenty of disposable right now (even though medium term is uncertain). Club need to seek support of the better off fans by offering long term season tickets at discounted rates or debentures.

At the moment I think the government is mainly concerned about getting the economy going and as in a scenario that is unique they won't get everything right example hair dressers open nail salons not seems strange, Wetherspoon's have just announced there will be no sports shown in any venues as it can encourage shouting so that guidance about shouting or singing to me rules crowds out short term. I personally still think we need to wait for the go ahead for crowds back save a lot of messing around and not needed spending on crowd management rules .
All this is speculation ..... just that.
We're still 10 weeks away from the strong rumour of a start date.
That's a hell of a long time in covid terms.
Maybe there will be a spike ....... maybe they wont.

Correct stating Covid has had a detrimental effect on finances no coincidence that they have had to play on incurring more costs club up for sale won't I,m afraid be the last.
Will they be subject to the usual points deduction?
Yes mate.
If deduction made this season then they're bottom and look destined for relegation.
Yep, 12 point deduction - just hope it doesn't save Luton
Devil is in the detail !
The sanction will be applied at the end of this season if the Latics, 14th in the Championship, finish outside the bottom three after 46 games.
Should Wigan finish in the relegation zone, the penalty will be applied during the 2020-21 season instead.
with all thats going on with this virus i think no-club should have a point deduction for summat like this. even though snakes the manager.
With all that's going on Cashy they will be handing out an awful lot of sanctions but they will find that the easy bit anything you have to overthink they come across as thick.
Football with the dreaded first club in Covid era to pass into administration is probably secretly quaking in its boots Man United apparently losing 5 million pounds in gate money per game over a full season that's a staggering 95 million pounds, but they have a fall back to TV money something leagues 1 and 2 and the national Leagues haven't playing in front of empty stadiums for most is virtually impossible to sustain.
