So the bloke who said its off.............now says its on.....................


Be off at 2.30 tomorrow then.

Never said it was off, he actually said it should go ahead earlier.

Andy Holt (Accrington's chairman) is very open about his club's finances, this gives some idea about how much money clubs are missing out on:

If the sport had used the months and months that it had to properly develop more intricate revenue models, it wouldn’t be half as bad. As it is not enough has been done or developed on any front. Everyone just assumed it would go away / sort itself out and everybody would be back in stadiums by now. Football (like many other industries) got it horribly wrong and now it’s too late for this season to be salvaged on that front.

How do clubs (at our level) generate income from games at the moment?

iFollow, advertising, season ticket income (that would otherwise need refunding), competition money (efl trophy).

Scary - puts it all into perspective really. If fans aren't in grounds ASAP we're all done for. Ifollow is never going to be an adequate replacement for real tickets.

The OxFail seem to have published an article without a statement!

Possible it was a scheduled article and there has since been a U-turn.

Scrap the season and there most likely won’t be another season for any club at this level.

But if they keep having cancellations because of covid then it may well be the sensible thing to do.

 

[Essexyellows]

So with the combination of shoddy "journalism" and Twatter rumours................


Nobody knows.


As you were then.

Are we certain of a U turn, based on on tweet?

 

[Dilla]

Game is on. Perhaps local media should've waited for official confirmation. Bit embarrassing for them.

Nothing official as of yet

 

[Sarge]

Nothing official as of yet

either way

No that’s why I am saying it’s possible. No statement from either club yet it looks like Oxford mail we’re waiting for one before publishing that.

From their forum.............

"Manager been cleared after test. Four backroom staff will be missing. Only two players positive. EFL have told them to carry on and play the game."

Hurrah for the EFL if so!

Crewe would probably bring them all over on the bus anyway like a bunch of muppets.

As if this game needed any more of an added 'edge' to it...

Can the game itself have this much drama I wonder.
