Season over?

[Chicken Balti Pie]

I've seen on twitter that we've dug up the pitch, is this a sign the season is over? Going to take a good 6 weeks to get it back to playing conditions so that's the start of June at the earliest?

I can't see social distancing being over anytime soon at all. To think we are going to be playing football in front of fans by June is a bit pie in the sky.

Seems that way. How they'll bring a conclusion to this season, Gawd only knows.

It's the Beach-on-Trent for the summer holidays

If the season resumes any time soon it will be behind closed doors so it wouldn't really matter where we played,is it possible we have an agreement with another local club ?

I'll make this prediction - the season gone is over and will never see completion. When crowds are once more permitted - 2021 or 2022 - the new season will commence. The English season may well be re-defined with August to May swapped to March to December.

I'll make a slightly different prediction Sid. My view is that next season - 20/21 will commence with a month delay, in September rather than August. This season is finished, and the academic issue of league placings, as well as promotion & relegation (maybe) will be sorted out by men in suits once 30th June comes and goes.

FL league seem keen to start 6th June if all is well BCD that is 6-7 weeks away yet.

Football will be back way way before 2022 it is worth lots of money to the economy if they have to it will be BCD but they will play somehow.

At this moment life is cr#p for everyone but at some point things bit by bit will be lifted.

The National League want to have a vote on ending the season. They don’t have the balls to make a decision until the Prem & EFL make it for them.
I can see a point when games begin and are played behind closed doors to begin with until a time all restrictions/measures are lifted.
These games won’t take place until there is a time when all involved in match days can be tested, which they won’t do until the NHS staff are tested first. Which is the right thing to do.
The fact our pitch has been dug up means nothing. The National League have no plans to hold a meeting to discuss a resumption of the League, and even then it would take several weeks for the games to begin. Also, if the plans I have heard come to fruition there will not be enough time between the end of this season and the start of next, meaning no time to sort the pitch, so doing it now makes complete sense.
That said, no one knows at this stage what the various leagues are thinking. There is a lot of rumours.

Spot on!
Ideal time to do the pitch as its almost perfect growing conditions and at estimated guess it will look like a bowling green in about 2 weeks.
