I agree with a lot of the ethos of what you're saying, Yosser but Macc, for example, who are already in financial turmoil as things stands are going to be right up against it. The likes of Accy etc who don't have a pot to piss in but regularly punch above their weight will ultimately be fine, I...

I'd expect we'd hold out for some sort of compensation, going some way towards the loss of revenue unjustly...
Palios has made our position clearer - we want promotions but no unwarranted relegations. Which I don't see the problem with in our case - the season isn't over in March so how can we justifiably be relegated from our position, but also clubs with an excellent season deserve their promotion. The...
Whereas we think that promoting any fourth team would be extremely contentious and unfair to the other teams in the L2 play off places.
Likewise relegating us, considering our recent form, game in hand and that we still had to play the team immediately above us. It's hardly a contentious...
So you're saying that league 1 should be kept to 23 teams for the foreseeable future? Why? I obviously want us to stay up, but they surely can't decide the playoffs on PPG... even if it didn't directly affect us, it would make a mockery of the whole system. So, conveniently, to make up the 24 we...
Not another one? Bury technically have zero points, so how are they above us? You can't grant a team a theoretical higher league position for failing to play any games - Bury are 24th and we are fourth bottom. This makes about as much sense as Swindon's 1990 play off scenario, we still haven't...
Looks like we're going to be sent down at the expense of the team in the highest play off position in League 2. Complete joke, it's not fair on us nor the other teams in play off positions. For the first time since 2005 when we beat them 5-0, I'm quite warming to Peterborough. Lovely team with...
No fans wouldn't make much of a difference to the Premier League really - the majority of its audience watches on the telly for a start. Different story for those of us living in the real world who actually attend games... The main point is how can they justify using 65,000 testing kits to...
Be for the best if we did go down if Swindon go up, we'd be able to actually contest those six points a season with somebody else...
Saves having to go to the place, too. XTC had the right idea - they left!
Yes. All the clubs and players would have to agree it for a start, and how long would contracts be for given that we have no idea when the season could resume? Plus the idea of clubs having to pay for it with no gate receipts/transfers etc coming in - they'd never agree to it.
Being a Tranmere fan possibly gives you a minority complex (well, it does in my case!) as, football wise, anyone from the Wirral who supports either of the Liverpool teams is a tunnel rat. Cricketing loyalties pretty much went the same way, especially with Manchester thrown into the mix! Re the...
I would too, but it's no fairer completing it with entirely different squads than it would be ending it now and enforcing debatable promotion and relegations. Basically, there's no solution that would suit everybody but I considered that to be one of the fairer suggestions that I've heard. On a...
Makes no difference if you're from Cheshire either way - I refuse to support Lancashire as I'm simply not from there. Albeit in junior cricket, you played for Cheshire and from there the best few were cherry picked for Lancashire, so we would appear to be a feeder county for them.
