Blind side johnny Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 2 hours ago, sweaty craiq said: So you expected a club who is doing rather well out of not playing and not paying staff because the taxpayer is doing, to come out and say thats why they didn't want to play??? Then ask fans/sponsors not to request refunds. Check whats in your water BSJ. New contracts tend to start in November/December, furlough finishes in October - the plan must have been a weeks tick n pass in November and on with the season week 2 to maximise furlough You are doing your PA job for Derek very well Sweaty - I hope that he pays you well. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By which point, schools will be open, pilot events with large numbers will have been held across Britain and Europe and we'll might even have Uncle Vlad's, sorry, the Oxford vaccine!

I remain optimistic but not 100% confident. A lot of stuff could go wrong. Pilot events might be followed by spikes in cases. Players could get themselves suspended for breaches of covid-19 rules. Competitions could be decided by how much your opposition is weakened by players self isolating. Signs are good that we could be on the way back but, equally, it could still be a shambles. We're not out of the woods yet. Time will tell. "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we cancel the 2 leagues all next season too ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hela Wigmen Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Just go 12/12/12 with one up, one down from all three leagues. Super League and Championship plays 23 games (11 H&A and Magic/Bash) and 22 games for Division 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fella in Manchester was telling me that he can go to work on the tram, drink at the pub and walk down the street without a mask - yet his parents can't see their granddaughter to give her a birthday card in his garden. Unpredictable things are happening frequently. Personally, I wouldn't bet on what'll happen next week, let alone next year. "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!"

Furlough or not, few clubs will be rolling in cash in 2020. Staff will be furloughed, no games mean no match day costs or winning pay, no away travel costs. Sky money has been received, Sponsorship and ST money also. So what is the total of the other costs and how much revenue/profits lost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the same access to everyone's books and records as you seem to have. Why did we need to borrow £16m if everyone is so flush with cash ? Surely we should be lednding money to the Government to help them out with their own debt problems. "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!"
