Just announced, all games off until 3rd April.
It's probably a good choice, but I'm still feeling narked

Yes if - and I realise it's a big IF - it does restart on 4th April then as you say we have 3 games to fit in - so in theory you could squeeze them in midweek and still finish the season on time - eg we could play Tuesday 7th, Tuesday 21st (not the 14th as that's after the Easter weekend and we have the Cov game on the BH Monday), and Tuesday 28th.I wonder how the EFL will restart the league season? We have 3 games against MK(H), Wycombe(A) and Pompey(H), then on April 4th when t restarts we are away to Rochdale.
I suspect that the date might get extended, seeing as the number of people effected by the virus just keeps growing. This could be a long season or we just might get promoted as we're 3rd if they end the season now..
With Johnson in charge of the government, “ignoring government policy” seems a pretty sensible course of action.Bad decision. The government said football stadiums could continue to operate and part of the rationale behind this is it's plan to push the peak towards the warmer weather. The arses who run football believe they know better and choose to ignore government policy when, by allowing games to continue they are in a no lose position.
The correct answer was to allow games to go ahead and consider postponements on a game by game basis. Kicking the can down to what may well prove to be a more difficult part of road at this stage is completely wrong and a ridiculous decision in the current circumstances.
These ostriches will now happily put their heads back into the sand only to pull them out in April to find themselves with a potentially more difficult situation than one they could have mitigated by carrying on with fixtures for the time being.
most contracts run through till end of June i believe?Im kinda wondering what happens if the April date is extended, and the season runs on into the summer. Some clubs will surely have some players who are OOC and move on with a couple of crucial games to go??
Corbyn would’ve suggested the games were played in China or Russia.With Johnson in charge of the government, “ignoring government policy” seems a pretty sensible course of action.

Corbyn would have suggested we wait until the pandemic is over to decide what we should do... Eer.. should have doneCorbyn would’ve suggested the games were played in China or Russia.
Woodburn’s relationship with us is doomed!Not disagreeing with the decision but the timing is very unfortunate for us; probably the most inform team in the league with virtually everyone fit since Woodburn and Mous were about to return. Will be interesting to see what happens, whole situation is a mess
