- Null and void
- Behind closed doors
Are the only two options I can see working....
...so far2 -
Well, they have at least 3 weeks to think about it. Maybe ask the clubs what they would prefer & see what they say.0

One thing I’m sure won’t happen is the season ends now and there is one reason to that
money.
Money dictates everything. Billions are paid for TV rights, tournament sponsorships, Wembley contracts, clubs budget on this income. Clubs budget in matchday income.
They will find a way to restart even if the situation is worse when they restart than it currently is now.3 -
Yeah, sorry. I just did the same. I would get a £60 charge so not bothering as ditching Sky in 2 months anyway.ValleyGary said:

They have been told to say it's all starting up again in 2 weeks.

Finish this season from September to December then just play FA Cup only. No 20/21 league season. If there's not enough matches have a 2nd FA Cup competition. Maybe a third for those that go out early like us. Then a fourth for the losers of that. Keep going allowing losing teams to have guest appearances from teams that have already won it. Keep going until Charlton win it. Then start the 29/30 season.8

Same thing happening here in France.Uboat said:
Can't believe the school are getting away with that. You should only lose your money if you withdraw your child from a trip that is going ahead. Go and bang on the head's door (politely).JamesSeed said:
We've lost out on one of my boys school trip to Barcelona (no refund), school trip to Austria (no refund), family holiday to Gran Canaria (no refund probably) and family trip to Canada for wife's family reunion (no refund probably) - assuming that the last two are deemed 'unsafe'.Charlton_Stu said:
Also got hotel booked for two nights down there with no refund being given, luckily i was going down on Megabus so haven;t lost too much on fares, but still annoying.ladywell_addick said:Got tickets, accom and trains sorted for Cardiff. Can't get refunds for trains or accommodation, apparently "global pandemic" isn't a good enough reason 😠
At least I took out insurance on my train fare to Cardiff. Lol.0 - Sponsored links:

Will be hilarious if the season is cancelled and the scousers end up STILL not having won the title.3

Since a wee nipper @jimmymelrose has always said we’d win the FA Cup in 2022 so I’m a tad disappointed I’ve now got to wait until May 2029.ForeverAddickted said:

Perversely, if the season is voided, it may benefit us in financial terms factoring in the cost of potential relegation.0

If the season is abandoned do you think we will get a partial season ticket refund ?0

The more I think about it the more convinced I am that the season will be declared null and void.1

Actually, I said 2017 and I wasn't a wee nipper. It was a vivid dream that I had in 1988 when I was 15. With the benefit of hindsight I think that it was the 2019 play off final. The funny thing was that in my dream we played Tranmere who ended up playing the day before us.LargeAddick said:

I have seen one projection which has peak infection in UK in June July August and geographic closures of access to certain in September October, I dont think this season will be finished and we may not have one next year either.

One thing is pretty clear, there's no way they're going to restart in 3 weeks time. You have some clubs whose entire squads are self isolating for a fortnight, then they would need to train and get back up to speed.
On top of that the virus is surely going to get worse in the coming weeks and i'd guess it's almost inevitable at some point soon the UK will go into lockdown to avoid an Italy scenario.
As things stand i think the 4th April is a pipe dream and i'd be surprised if any football is played before May and serious questions have to be asked about whether the season can be completed.8 -
So what happens in a month time, clubs have missed out on income from 3 home games, can’t pay their bills and wages?0

If the remaining 4 home games are cancelled they should give season ticket holders free tickets to the next 4 home cup ties.Bedsaddick said:If the season is abandoned do you think we will get a partial season ticket refund ?0 -

The same as for anyone else in the entertainment or hospitality industry.AFKABartram said:So what happens in a month time, clubs have missed out on income from 3 home games, can’t pay their bills and wages?
It is going to be very tough for many companies. Some, unfortunately, are not going to come out the other side.0 -
A lot of journalists and people within the game seem convinced that the season won't restart. I'm glad I don't have to make the decision about how the leagues finish. Administrative nightmare and you won't be able to please everyone0
