How much will Coronavirus (COVID-19) impact Aston Villa's season?

[Rotterdam]

There would also be more fanfare when the 'new season' kicks in compared to the resumption of an old season.
The TV money is going to be a huge influence over things and I think they would want a fresh start they could promote.

National League wants to Void the season.... Not sure they know how yet but that looks the intention

There was no way the games could get completed for June and nearly all players will be out of contract up and down the leagues from June 1st. No club at that level or league one and two are going to want to keep paying contracts through the summer with no certainty as they are bleeding money now.  It will be interesting how this plays with the EFL and Prem but I just can't see how this does not happen to all the leagues.

It's a bastard for my local team , Harrogate Town: their best-ever season and 2nd in the National LEague, and in the Cup qtr finals.
I know it's insignificant in the broader scheme of things, but ....

I read the terms and conditions on my contract for the season tickets I have in the hospitality at VP today.  It has all the sections in there you'd expect about the club having the right to switch games in the season as required by the police, TV and so on.  But in the definitions bit, it defines the season as running from August 19 to May 20.  That being the case, and assuming that's the case for all season tickets, then assuming the season doesn't start again any time soon, I would think everybody would be eligible for a refund on the amount of home games that weren't played.  Perhaps a legal type could comment on this?

[PaulTheVillan]

Probably nothing, and we'll get relegated. Which is fully deserved.

Looking forward to winning some games over the next 6 years in the championship.

[lennythekad]

No messing around in South Africa!

[Legion]

It is not fully deserved at all. We are/were close along with 5 other teams, all of whom could be considered as bottom 3 come the end of the season had it continued. We also still have a game in hand to be taken into account.

Why are our own supporters always the quickest to condemn us?

[brian green]

Attention seeking?

[garyellis]

Attention seeking?

This 100%

[Villan82]

Why are our own supporters always the quickest to condemn us?

My thoughts entirely. Out of the 5 clubs fighting relegation we have the best case for fighting against it on these terms- game in hand, 6 home games. No joking, it would be ludicrous for us to accept relegation/playing games behind closed doors. It would be grossly unfair to us.

[Legion]

Nit-picking here, but there are 6.

Totally agree with this.  We have been much better at home, especially under the lights. 
Also, playing behind closed doors would be a symbol that Coronavirus is still out there and that money is much more important than the fans, lives etc. 
If we can just cut out the silly errors, we might be ok.

[ChicagoLion]

It will only be fully deserved, if the league is restarted allowing spectators and if at the end of the season, we are in the bottom 3.

[dave.woodhall]

If we could play every home game at night I swear we'd win the league.

[ChicagoLion]

Just thinking some of the best games ever under the lights.
5 1 Liverpool
2 1 Manure LC Semi
The Watford win in Jan was not too shabby either.
