Just great, my first visit in 15 years and this happens.
Won't even get to see games at the Amex, just great.
In another 15 years if I get to return I will be 75, just great.
Couldn't have been a more shit year for my 60th birthday.
Will probably have to spend it alone in a closed room with a few cans, 'king perfect.

Just cancel the season today.

Reset the table and start again from game 1 in September.

No one is mathematically up or down, so best write it off.

1. The article isn't consistent in regards to no Saturday 3pm broadcasts and yet ticket holders will be able to stream games - which is it?
2. The implication is we won't be getting refunds for games we're banned from. Matt Hancock has said he expects the virus pandemic to be done 'within a year'. On that basis, I would be seriously considering cancelling the DD for the 3 tickets we have.

I read it as ticket holders will be able to stream all games but 3.00pm games won’t be televised.

Whilst I do 'lump sum', can you actually do that?

Isn't the DD part of an annual contract for the ST?

It is, but then the contract also says we're supposed to be allowed to go to games! Funnily enough, the deadline for cancelling next season was....yesterday.

So the main thing I take from that is that even during a crisis like this, predictably the main thing the authorities care about is money and protecting their TV rights.

Why can’t they just make a clear decision now rather than leaving fans hanging on and confused. This is a total one off, why don’t they just announce now that all games are going to be played behind closed doors and streamed live. Seems to make the most sense.

This has always been about money .

So, we might well miss Arsenal, City, Liverpool, Man U and Newcastle.

Anyone expecting some sort of refund?

Will we get refunds?

I’m sure many people will disagree with me but i actually feel that no crowd for our remaining home games may actually help us. We sometimes in my opinion seem a bit reticent when playing at home and the crowd are expecting us to attack all the time .

We often play better away from home without that level of crowd expectation.

Apparently they're looking at all players having to play in bio-hazzard suits for the remaining games. That could be fun!

Will a 'silent' atmosphere help or hinder our players?

Needs a poll.

I really believe that the home team will lose it’s advantage which is a big issue for us as we’ve saved most of our ‘top six’ home games until March and April.

Still, we’ve got a chance at Leicester without the clackers!
