If Football forums could get together...Each Club forum using a simple poll.Then that forwarded to the FAs...

Then they would know the thought of the fans and if they want to see the season finished....No matter Now Late or with a Time constriction....

Ie... Any Time until september..2020.    Begin new season at the end of October.

       Until December..then.Begin in January.... Condensed 20/21 season...(19 games) Knock out CL- games..!! Only FA cup games. No-replays!!!

Finish this season and cups this autumn.

 

Start the 20/21 season on 1 Jan 2021, finishing late autumn 2021.

 

A short break then the Qatar winter World Cup. 

 

A shortened 19 game half season, then back to usual cycle for 22/23 season.

 

If everyone in Europe agreed, the CL and EL could fit too.

I like this idea but would also like the Qatar World Cup to be completely scrapped.

We need to concentrate on the domestic game and a high level champions league.

As for Euros and World Cups ….. nah.

Makes sense to me to complete the league season. Agree with playing games from first week in May and to play 2 games per week behind closed doors. Let the tv companies show all of the games, this fulfills contractual obligations. Forget about the cups, let the euros be put back 12 months. 

Don't think we'll be playing again as early as May ….. although I did buy my Arsenal-Leicester ticket this morning :scarf::beer:

The atmosphere at the first home game back will be amazing. 

You do realise that the first home game back is likely to be next season ?? Whenever that is

They should make it the standard across Europe, tbh. It doesn't typically get too hot so as to be unsafe, fewer games will be called off because of bad weather, more enjoyable for the fans etc. etc. 

 

With Qatar 2022 being a winter tournament now would be the perfect time to adjust the calendar to make that the norm going forward with minimal (further) disruption to the leagues.

 

Struggling to see any major downsides tbh.

OK, I've been giving this some serious thought, the league could all be sorted in one weekend. How? One glorified two day long penalty shootout

 

Get all players tested and clear of the virus, then get them all down to Wembley for one weekend. Teams shootout against each other in the corresponding remaining fixtures. 5 penos each. 3 points for a win, 1 point if it's tied. Sorted.

 

Could you imagine the drama. It would be the greatest weekend of tv EVER!!

Why use Wembley?

Hackney Marshes has enough pitches and all games could be concluded in a few hours

Absolutely. In a country where you get to go to matches without a coat for what, 10-12 games a season max (if that) to have matches (that mean something and aren't friendlies) in the actual summer will be amazing.

Just heard that a former Villa and Cardiff midfielder Peter Whittingham died after suffering an accident at home. So tragic only 35 years old! used to live in my neighbourhood in Nuneaton round the corner from me. Used to see quite often when he was playing for Villa. I think his parents still live around here to. Must be awful for them.. A quiet footballer you never heard anything bad about. RIP

Scored against us at home in first leg of the fateful play off semi finals against Cardiff.

Nothing official yet, hope it isn’t the case. Some reports saying in intensive care, but no official sources
