From BBC: The decision to postpone matches until 3 April was unanimously approved by the EFL board.
The decision to postpone matches until 3 April was unanimously approved by the EFL board. They are going to use this time to look into Charlton's proof of funds .....
I just hope this enforced moratorium gives the team a chance to get their heads clear from the boardroom soap opera for what will be a tough end to the season.
What a shame we couldn't have had this break back in December!
My view is, if the season finishes now, then just start the new season (whenever that is) with exactly the same structure.
Let Liverpool have the Premier trophy over the summer, so they can cuddle it and stroke it, but they've got to give it back for the start of next season.
Have a feeling this season will become a pub quiz question (if we still have pubs in a hundred years). "After their last game of the 2019/20 season, Charlton were in the relegation places but weren't relegated. Why?"
If this suspension only lasts for these 3 weeks or so, this could be excellent for us - time for the players and staff to get their heads straight after the last few days, time for those with niggles or short-term injuries to recover, time for Bowyer to renew the squad, time for Nimer to sort everything with the EFL and put in place a replacement. This could steady the ship and we could come back a lot stronger out of this
Can't see anything starting again in April. Think June/July is the earliest it could possibly happen given where the predictions of peak is in this country.
Realistically they either have to cancel the season and start again from scratch in August. Or finish whenever they can, have a much shorter break in the summer, start late and next season cancel additional competitions like League Cup, Trophy, etc. Just league and Fa Cup domestically.

According to multiple news outlets on Twitter anyway lol
As it stands, all 33 games in National League, National League North and National League South will go ahead tomorrow.
The best supported team – Notts County, with an average attendance of 5,224 – are at home to Eastleigh.

I might have to start conversing with the missus at this rate?
We might actually have some forward players fit by the time the PL restarts...
