Yes I can open the file.

L2 seem to want to end it & get it sorted now
L1 seems that 6 have threw spanners in the works
Championship want to play on

I feel stressed with it all so it must be really stressful to the players/staff
Was listening to Norwich captain earlier who’s wife is expecting so clearly that’s a worry for him
They’ll be some that have vulnerable family as well so are they being taken into consideration?

Is 75% necessary? I've not seen that figure mentioned anywhere else

BBC sport mentioned that figure to avoid legal measures against the decision.

No, he said, 'Shut that door!' and so they should.

Stanley chairmen seems to have his head screwed on.

Anyone that puts sporting integrity and football in the same sentence is deluded.

They’d shoot their grandmothers for 3 points.

Clubs are blowing their brains in, losing fortunes. In the name of sporting integrity.

Clubs are selling stadia and warping ffp rules in the name..

If you’re looking for sporting integrity, you need to look everywhere else with a fine tooth comb...

...and when you find none, take a look at football.

***EXPECT TO BE DISAPPOINTED***

It’s about MONEY.

It’s a FINANCIAL WAR, not a SPORTING BATTLE.

Further up, it gets WORSE.

If the six teams want to play, let them play each other, butwho will take responsibility for the fans that turn up at the stadiums?
Football's integrity vs People's lives. Tough call.

It’s not a tough call to me.
Peoples lives should take precedence.

What if a game goes ahead, large crowds gather outside the venue (neutral or otherwise) and someone Contracts COVID-19 and dies as a direct consequence ?

Who is liable, culpable, etc?

The only winners out of this whole mess will be large legal firms waiting in the wings to “advise” anyone who could be perceived to be a victim!!!

Agree 100%

But it indicates what we are up against when rent a mob hold a protest meeting in Hyde Park complaining about " freedoms"

I.e. the freedom to do what they like and go around infecting people.

Fortunately on this occasion only few sheep joined in

A saw that yesterday and only about 40 turned up. Corbyn’s brother was one of them!!
