This demonstrates that those wanting to play the season out to its end are living in cloud cuckoo land.

Good isn’t it that some are already saying we need to be hard nosed on player contracts when none of us know how many of our fan base will be here in six months and how our players feel about their future.

Figures look a bit dodgy we only have 5 home matches left and they expect to lose £50000 a match? Me thinks they adding the losses from the rest of the season caused my fans protesting and not attending matches through the season

They’re using the schemes out there to protect the club long term. Effectively shutting down the club in the short term.

It’s a sensible decision.

As has been said, there will be clubs higher up in a worse position.

Do we know what cash reserve we have? That would be my question. How much is there to pay the small amount of costs in the short term

You still have to pay the 80% in the short term - there is currently no mechanism in place for this to be reimbursed.

That must be turnover, not profit.

The Government pays that.

Could we not put season tickets on sale, to be honoured when the next season does eventually start? It may seem a bit of a cheek to ask fans for more assistance but I don't think we'll get through this easily.

It doesn't pay it upfront. The business pays it and then has it reimbursed by a means yet to be devised.

The difficulty is there's no guarantee the new season will be 20/21, which would leave the club with a hell of a lot of running costs to meet with a vastly reduced income when things do start up again
