Show me the science.
I think we would benefit from doing that for a lot of their seeming arbitray descisions.

Surely, that was the point of those pilot games - to assess the risk.
2 days later they’re closing it down. Show me the science.
It's in the same file that says the virus doesn't infect people in pubs at 9.45 but suddenly goes rampant at 10.01

IMO £10 is still too much to stream
Oh come on, £10 is nothing in the scheme of things! If it helps the club and I get to see the game, that’s fine by me.

Boris Johnson suggesting there may be some form of bail out/rescue funding for sport clubs impacted by continued lockout of fans and stricter restrictions generally.

A govt bailout shouldn't be necessary in football. There is plenty of money in football as a sport, it just needs redistributing properly. Hopefully the govt will force the Premier League to fund the rescue funding in football. As grants, not loans.

I’m looking at kicking Boris up the hole. Doubt I’ll get round to it though.

Precisely this. Gareth Bails weekly salary could have saved Macclesfield! How grotesque is that. Cant see the redistribution happening voluntarily, given that the Premier League has no interest in lower league clubs or the football pyramid as a whole. Whether the government could force it is also very debatable in my opinion. Completed gutted that I wont get to watch live football for more than likely the whole of this season and very worried about the future of our club. A very sad time indeed.

And Woolery was scratching his head about why we didn't come back with another contract offer.

If the Govt had any balls, they'd have put general restrictions in place across football for re-opening of the sport, which would include the redistribution of a "new" TV deal. The addition of Streaming of all games, including freedom to put 3pm games on Live TV, could have been a crow bar to get the 300-400m needed to fund lower league football for a season.

They can threaten to shutdown football even behind closed doors, wouldn't harm lower league clubs but any threat to the TV revenue would have the PL clubs rolling over and begging to help

Exactly. Likewise with the "Spend the Bogle money on a striker/midfielder/centre back" contingent. We have one priority this season, staying in business. Everything else is a "nice to have"

A kind of "reach for the gutter" attitude. Nice.

With fans unlikely to be at football anytime soon I wonder if Town will now move season tickets bought for this season to 21/22. This would then allow for ifollow to be a pay service for all.
