It concerns me that we may not see any football this year, I hope a plans being drawn up for that eventuality if it happens.

"Football is a contact sport, people are sweating and running and grappling"

JJ Hooper should be fine then

Very much doubt if the LR concert will go ahead too

He is quite right stating that the health and Safety of everyone is a priority . For me, in particular that large body of older fans. Good to have communication from the club.

Can’t see the Lionel Richie concert happening. Big financial hit there. With the current “situation” re the Board, season ticket sales will be under pressure too. Bleak outlook.

Sensible position taken by Spencer and the Board.

We will have to eat into our financial reserves over the next few weeks and months; but you can only spend it once.

We will need a strong campaign for early ST sales once the dust has settled. Alas, that might not be in time for the scheduled August restart.

Time will tell.
