Oh, and well done a second time.....I know feel so much more affinity with a bluenose co-worker who has refused to attend St Andrews for many years since the dislocation between player and supporter became so obvious. I'm standing with him.......not you.

I really don't know where to begin with this.

How many people are going to have the money for season tickets, whenever football starts again or take out s Sky Sports subscription?

The PL are in denial if they think they can somehow turn this into a festival of football.

Clubs, players, agents & the PL are going to learn very soon that things won't be as they were for quite a while.

Indeed, the economic damage once this is all over is going to be so horrendous, people are not going to be rushing to spend hundreds and hundreds of pounds on football, however it is 'delivered'.

Given there is no sport on to watch, have Sky Sports actually offered anyone a rebate?  They really should, shouldn't they?

You can pause your subscription online, but they put the onus on you rather than doing it automatically.

If they did that they need to scrap relegation because that damages the integrity of the competition. They still need to consider player wellbeing though. Covid 19 has still killed young, healthy people and a situation where resuming play leads to a players death is unthinkable.

Here you go Newby.

Just log in and hit pause. You still keep the channels too and only start paying again once live sport returns.
