Saw this as a good idea if games actually go to iFollow only.

Whatever game is streamed only have access to the home club’s stream. That way, at least the home club would benefit from away fans watching - just as they would if they were actually attending and paying gate money.
Yeah that makes sense.

Why the obsession with a South/North anything in this country? How about a West/East set up?
Regionalised football is shit full stop but it doesn’t take much looking at a map to see the distances involved in an east/west League would be significantly higher.

But the transport links are much better north/south.

Hence HS2 plans to reunite the north via east to west, but in the future.

Plymouth to Colchester is a horrible journey.

Perceptions of east/West distances on maps are skewed anyway.

But he’s right though, isn’t he. There are fans from a lot of clubs who are convinced their wealthy owner is going to carry on funding their club for as long as it takes. Noticeable that the Argyle owner says he is willing to bridge the gap ‘in the short term’, I.e. until the end of June.

What happens after that? Lots of clubs with owners unable to fund their clubs til then I reckon.
Well with all our players and staff on furlough,as I guess most teams will be, only got to find the 20% of their wages, season ticket sales should cover that.

It will be more than that, it's 80% up to a max of £2500 per month. So if you have a player on £2k a week, the club's going to be paying around 6.5k per month to cover the shortfall

Wild guess, the shape of the country?

Nonsense. Sennen in Cornwall to Cromer is 404 miles. Brighton to Berwick is 392 miles  Wink

For anyone on here who believes the earth is not flat, putting part of a "globe" onto a flat surface causes distortion. Check out the USA v Africa comparison & the hoo-haa that causes.

For example:
The Greenwich Meridian goes through Cleethorpes, and Edinburgh is west of Liverpool.

Are you talking about the shortest distance between two points on the surface of a (almost) sphere? Maybe we could get round (under) that by building a network of direct tunnels between the relevent clubs would be a good nationwide project to kick start the economy post-virus? How big is the UK vs. the curvature of the earth anyway? If you dug a tunnel direct from say Swindon to Carlisle, how deep would it be at the midpoint? All important questions.

The UK is quite big, see at the start of this....
