Time to pause and remember the 56 Bradford city and Lincoln City fans who sadly lost their lives on this date in 1985. Lest we forget.
That was our next game Blackpool but the day before called off.Our last game was at Bloomfield road, Blackpool, we were in great form, three away wins on the trot and for the first time, no injuries!
Relegation is more than likely, but, depending on how the EFL figure it all out, will we still be in League One?
Loved going to the Stadium of Light, very impressive, it should host premiership games, the super white army still outsung you on a bleak Tuesday night! Especially since we got hammered!
It's all very strange!
No footie!
No work!
No travelling to footie!
I'm really missing it!
We were softening them up for you!That was our next game Blackpool but the day before called off.
I was staying over and I was riding back to the North east by bike doing the coast to coast Morecambe to Bridlington. All this has put that on hold as it has our charity footy games I was doing it for
Iv always enjoyed tranmere away, easy to get to and normally stop in Ellesmere port before hand
Our home crowd is shocking. Plenty turn up but it's quiet and Midweek games are always quieter
League Two's season has been brought to an early conclusion following discussions between clubs and the English Football League.
After an indicative vote by the clubs, the table is set to be decided using a weighted points-per-game method, while the play-offs would be played as usual.
But any move still needs to be ratified by the EFL and Football Association.
Teams in League One will meet again on Monday after failing to come to an agreement.
Now that's what I call sensible.
Totally agree mate, at the moment if the agreement is ratified by the EFL and league one, then my lot will be relegated. But I still live in hope!
Realistically in the long run it doesn't matter, we will be still in the football league!
They have also agreed for no relegation from league two. This does cause a problem because if the season would have finished, two clubs from the NL would be promoted, but because of Bury, there will be one spot open, who fills it? I presume it will be Barrow.
There is a huge split in league one, because the bigger clubs who are currently in the top ten want the season to be played out, whereas the poorer lower clubs want the season to be over with similar recommendations as with league two. I can't see an easy result coming out!
But saying how it will all be, is one thing, we have to get to a point when it's safe to do so!
I’m glad they are trying to restart and I believe they will have in place some decent protocols to ensure high levels of safety for the players involved at the top level of the professional game.
Of course, nothing is guaranteed here. They may crash whilst driving to the ground or they may catch corona virus from the petrol station hand pump. Ultimately though we are all going to be exposed to risk in the coming months.
As for my team, the mighty Colchester United.... it is not clear if league two will honour a playoff system of sorts.
Yeah our away crowd are usually always really good. Probably seen us quiet on 1 occasions this season. Shrewsbury and Gillingham. Gillingham was an awful away day. Ref made the linesman give an offside meaning we had a goal dissallowedWe were softening them up for you!
Always get good reviews about away support at PP.
Your away support is tremendous, and usually in good form regardless of the form of your first team! Have to say I'm a big fan of Max Power. Started his career as a six year old, when we had an academy!
How can nearly 30,000 footie fans be quiet?
Keep safe.
It all depends on what the outcome of how the championship and league one finishes will impact league two.
I agree in the south it has become possible to make the first steps to getting back to some sort of normality, but up in the north the downward curve is not as pronounced and we are still seeing new cases and deaths. It is too soon, as it is within the school proposals. It is to early!
It's all very well, the pressures from television and vested interests, not to mention the money that will be generated is good for the game but at what cost?
I have worked within professional football and asking some of them to use social distancing and not to socialise when at the training ground is a bit of wishful thinking.
The main reason why league two has decided to go with their way of finishing the season is financial. Not enough cash flow from gate money and sponsors. Loss of earnings from outside resources have also contributed. Clubs like mine cannot afford to play without the fans.
League one is split and a decision was due today but nowt yet.
Testing will be mandatory for all players and staff at training.
It's interesting that one of the club's that wants to play is one club that has a very small dressing room. How do you social distancing there?
Keep safe
What I'm saying is, that because up here we are a couple of weeks behind the south in this pandemic, we are not ready to start the easing of lockdown to what is capable down there.Interesting to hear your perspective on it. I am hugely biased as well as I’m desperate to see football but obviously I wouldn’t want to put anyone at too high of a risk. But risk is everywhere and footballers will be afforded much more protection than the general public. Stay safe mate
Some EFL clubs are facing the very real possibility of going out of business altogether amid the coronavirus pandemic with League Two already curtailed, League One reportedly likely to follow and all that being underpinned by a potential financial crisis.
But the Premier League are preparing to step in to ensure EFL clubs can survive.
"It is inevitable that we will have to push money down to the other 72 clubs," a Premier League source told the Daily Mail.
"There's certainly a willingness to do that. "If we don't, then a few clubs will be gone. The EFL need us to finish the season maybe more than we do.
They have a valid point there. Without this financial support from the Premiership teams then sadly there'd be a few clubs gone. Its a nice gesture.
A proposal to push back the Premier League restart date to June 26 is expected to get the green light this week, according to reports.
The Sun claims that clubs are in favour of scrapping plans to begin on June 12 with just over a fortnight to go and players yet to resume full contact training.
Its crazy to even think of restarting the season.
