Declare this season null and void. Everybody stay in the same league for next season. Close season starts now and plan for the next season hopefully starting as normal in August. Not fair on teams fighting for promotion but life isnt fair at the moment.

playing each other once was based on the idea we start next season already halfway through when it should be started the damage of no games for half a season will already have happened I think town should come out of this quite well in comparison to other clubs with us quietly saving money for a rainy day and not wasting it on the likes of greg docherty, well its about to rain so lets hope its all been worth it The last two seasons of cup rusn money cannot be sniffed at how. But for Liverpool shafting us we would be even stronger! yeah but think how much town shafted Liverpool in return if athletico and Chelsea hadn't watched us on tv sit deep and show how vulnerable liverpool are getting hit on the break etc , no wonder the scousers didnt want us to play on the Wednesday and be on live tv again ;-)

Another option could be treat this as preseason now, get back playing in 12 weeks time (boris’ plan) finish this season, could finish league 1 in 5 weeks by playing 2 games a week. Couple of weeks off then start next season, and have a week off in February when the weathers rubbish. TWO GAMES A WEEK - Best run that idea past SR first. No doubt our players will be very tired having to do that, despite having had weeks off for this break.

There is just so many problems to not finishing this season off properly before starting another season (however different it might be to the norm).
Consider it null and void will mean so many clubs very likely to take legal action against the decision as it affects them, the whole footballing world will decend into total anarchy. This current season just HAS to be finished first.

I still think scrapping the 4 league system and creating local leagues will be the way forward for one season and reverting back to normal the following season based on positions would also give clubs a season full of derbies to bring some of the lost cash back

Just that this current season must be finished entirely before we move on. Total anarchy will descend from many clubs if not, and tbh i would have every sympathy with them. Thats not just your favourites Liverpool, its all the Champions league contenders, promotion and relegation threatened clubs in all divisions including non league just for starters. Doubt Shrewsbury would complain too much if it was finished early mind....

I think I finally have the solution
but it all depends if and when we are ready to go again im presuming we have the all clear in a few months time, which may well not be the case
firstly the season has to be halted for now
we then organise local mini leagues until next feb where we simply carry on where we left off
no new European comps but they will also continue in 12 months when they left off
obviously players may have switched clubs but that would be ok
eg towns next league game would be coventry away next march
but before then we enter a newley created local league for a bit of fun the league sizes would be relevant to the available timescale

Meanwhile, The Olympics: Dead but it won't lie down. Indeed. I can’t understand why such a global event hasn’t been cancelled - must be money involved. Also how come Wimbledon hasn’t been cancelled yet? No way are the crowds six feet apart or do they know something not made public yet - that strawberries give immunity!!!

Won't be any strawberries, no migrant workers to pick 'em. When Wimbledon dies the inevitable death the elite can use their Range Rovers to actually go to the country and pick their own, one car at a time at a safe social distance.

Lots of opinions on how to deal with the football season both from us and those in power. Whatever the decision it wont be easy and wont please all of us. The one easy decision is to cancel the Olympics. Surely it cant go ahead. We can all see that. Do it now. Money isnt everything. If not cancelled this week countries involved need to be pulling out to give the organisers no choice.

Good point re the migrant workers. And that situation applies to all fresh fruit and veg grown in UK. Future problems for the food chain?

Read elsewhere that Brora have been declared winners of the Highland League. They are 13 points clear with less than 10 games to go. Guessing thet have given up on playing again this season in that league.

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52002481"How are we going to stop that? How are the police going to man it? How are they health services going to react to incidents that happen off the back of it and do we need to put any more pressure on the services at this point in time? "However, if those fears could be overcome somewhere down the line within this 12-week period then [behind closed doors games] could be the case." Fill the days up with behind closed door games from the lower leagues if all safe to do it, can't see Stevenage fans for example standing outside their stadium watching a game. If all players safe and have been isolated the benefits of having games on to keep people in the house to watch the TV surely outweighs the risk of staging games? Even on working days get the daytime filled up.

Probably better off keeping matches under wraps as much as possible if they end up doing that. Bound to be some fans will turn up regardless .... more so for PL and bigger Championship clubs.

People will go on about the Liverpool’s and Leeds’ of the world who stand to lose the most, but as a fan of Shrewsbury, a team firmly entrenched in mid table and do a cancellation matters little competitively, it will be sad for me that all of the memories and experiences this season count for less than nothing.

Mid table? I’d say end it now, Tranmere have just won 3 in a row and we’re sleep walking into relegation

If the season at any higher level is concluded without any further games promotion/relegation/titles/champions league qualification MUST for me be based on current league positions as when we ceased playing.
To completely expunge all records for the season at this level would be a complete farce and surely lead to so many lawsuits.
Best option for me would be to finish the season whenever we can, however long that might be. This might mean a very different season 20/21 but as that hasnt started then so be it. Get back to a normal season 21/22.

Sure we would have done enough to stay up had games not been halted but some clubs will no doubt come back as different after the break, either better or worse. Wouldnt want to gamble on Town being better after a long break tbh

It won't be long before certain fans are creating a group campaigning for answers to why a recent game between an English club and Spanish club went ahead, especially with the problem of rubbing eyes etc
