I think the FA Cup has to happen as it's a lifeline for clubs lower down the pyramid.
Not been too much of a “lifeline” for Swindling these past twenty-odd years, has it...? ?

? Helston Athletic were leading their division before the season was made void.
? They'd saved around £6,000 from internal player fines to have a big promotion party.
? With the season cancelled, they've donated all the funds to the local hospital and food bank!
? Great gesture!

Somewhere down the line "we" the consumer will have to understand that it`s not really that important in the grander scheme of life.
Petitions are pointless by the time they are completed they will be at the bottom of a fudgin big pile.
A bit like Brexit, make the tough call now so folk know where they are.
The PL can feck off and do wht they like, they are the greedy , hording folk who stripped th shelves bare then ended up binning most of it.
The smaller clubs who have helped their local communities will survive, the game will change and hopefully for the better.
The chances of playing match`s in June/July areslim at best, thats almost into next season then.
Just bin it.
So for the sake of nine matches outstanding we lose 23 games next season, along with the gate receipts and revenue that brings for the dozens of clubs that depend on it?Would much rather see this season finish whenever it needs to finish and next season reduced to one-round of fixtures if required due to time constraints.
i still prefer what i wrote initially, scrap the play offs and have current positions stand for promotion and adjust relegation accordingly...only club affected are Villa and the Premier league can do what they want anyway so let them sort that one. it's logical,sensible and fair to all.
that's surely got some meritThere was a solution mooted on a football based live stream I saw yesterday that said they should scrap this season now, but start next season with the points carried over. And for any teams who have played less games than others, they should work out their current points per game (we’ve played a big enough percentage of the season across the board to make a claim that it’s pretty fair and reflective), and then add the average accordingly so as to calculate the ‘worth’ of their games in hand.
It isn’t a perfect solution by any means - there simply isn’t one no matter which route they go down - but it’s consistent and doesn’t see the work that has been put in this season completely binned. It’s certainly a better solution than running into a brick wall and worrying about how next season, and in turn half of the clubs in the country, survive after we’ve all clattered into it.
A very good idea, so ..... the EFL will never consider it.There was a solution mooted on a football based live stream I saw yesterday that said they should scrap this season now, but start next season with the points carried over.
