Following the mass gatherings of the past few days it is almost inevitable that there will be a rise in cases - I expect Government to respond by not allowing 'crowds' to assemble. I would imagine that the Premier League will continue without spectators but that is obviously not an option for lower league and national league clubs. It might mean that there will be no national league season 2020/1 and I think there is likely to be a greater chance of sheep grazing on the Racecourse than us watching our team.

If that is the case then many clubs will not survive - we may all have to support the Club financially until they are in a position to generate their own finances.

Yeah, like that mass gatherings on VE Day, the ones on the beaches in May, the mass gatherings for BLM parades, all massively increased cases didn’t they🤔

Bang on the money but maybe people like you (and I ) who agree with the more cautious approach are just scaremongering....

Football League won't be starting til September anyway

If, as we hope, next season begins in September then we will have to comply with the rules of the National League regardless of what the first minister decrees.
Never forget the immortal words of Bill Shankly -
Football is not a matter of life or death, it is more important than that

If the matches are arranged as normal but the season doesn't start until October, lets not tell our players and just play the games anyway as scheduled......we might get a few wins in and be top 5 by Christmas

There again with our lot we still might notch a couple of draws....cant be too attack minded after all, they could catch us on the break!

I'm not sure how you can open up the Welsh tourism industry but not things like football grounds obviously running at a much reduced capacity.

Welsh Government for you, if England do it 1 week later you can bet we'll see the return to normality at Welsh stadia.

I bet the pubs open first before the football grounds which makes very little sense.

Talk that some stadiums will be trialing much reduced crowds before this season finishes in England, likely the final round of games. Possibly the FA Cup Final too.

The second wave is predicted to be in Autumn/Winter unfortunately could be another short season

And yet a factory on our industrial estate that started with one case couple of weeks ago now has 166 and wrexham as a area over 750 most within a couple of months and rising every day despite being in lockdown.

Why are fewer people dying on a daily basis?
