This is bound to play a significant part in affecting clubs income. Who do we think this might affect adversely? I think Oldham will struggle, and maybe Bolton too. Thoughts on any other clubs? | |

Or maybe not. | | | |

Tone is up to his tits in bribery scandal and CV has just destroyed his recklessly over-leveraged airline. Not much better for his port-empire Malay chums. Will he still be prepared to fund our losses? Can baba Lakshmi finally be tempted into bailing them out and getting a bigger holding? [Post edited 13 Mar 2020 12:43]

so who might find themselves in trouble this next 3 weeks on 12:41 - Mar 13 with 2689 views | smegma | I wonder if non league games will be postponed as well . With the cr@p weather this year, a lot of clubs are on the brink with no income coming in. My local club, North Greenford United, have to play 12 home games and 4 away games in the next 7 weeks. They have 8 consecutive home games between 2nd and 21st April, they've already postponed 3 home games in the last week Sat/Tues/Thurs. Now might be a good time to go out and support your local non league club. | | | |

Not to be too negative but with this shutdown open ended everybody could be in trouble .I know the OP was talking Championship football sorry for branching off | | | |

Easily done I would imagine... I expect they will mess it up though. | | | |

My choice for tomorrow is Needham Market v AFC Rushden & Diamonds.I’ll have to ask their fans if they were there when Gareth scored his wonder goals in that 3-3 draw? | | | |

So, down four levels only Northern Premier and Isthmian and the National League and NL North and South but I'd be surprised if they make it past tonight or tomorrow morning. Many of the leagues are meeting today. | | | |

so who might find themselves in trouble this next 3 weeks on 17:56 - Mar 13 with 1964 views | smegma | Spartan South Midlands League have postponed all games in March meaning North Greenford have to play 16 games in April. Currently the fixture list is packed with home games on April 2nd, 4th, 7th, 11th , 14th, 16th, 18th and 21st. They have an away game on April 25th, supposedly THE last game of the season but still have to find dates for 4 home games and 3 away. The league HAS to be extended into May? | | | |

so who might find themselves in trouble this next 3 weeks on 19:46 - Mar 13 with 1818 views | kropotkin41 | Hard to see the logic of suspension only into April. The Government scientists are predicting the peak in June. If we're aiming for delaying and stretching that peak out then matches just need not to happen. It's not a great conclusion, but it does fit the science behind delay. The Government is not behind this, btw..... having their own interpretation of the science. | |

With a predicted peak in June it is unlikely that there will be any football until the next season, if then. | |
