Bus and ticket already purchased. all because one player decides to self isolate the day before. We are that bad someone out of the crowd could have replaced him,whoever it is. Anyway good luck for the rest of the season and I hope you make it. In fact as long as Harrogate or solihull don’t go up and fylde go down I’ll be happy. Oh and we stay up !

The 'postponement' must have been something of a disappointment to the proprietors of the Barrow Arms.

Why would Wrexham, want the Barrow game off, especially with Quigley suspended, if, and it's a big if, the league restarts, we will still have to visit Holker Street. Like all your fans, I was disappointed with it being called off, but the health and well being of, both sets of players, their families, and everyone else employed by your club, and not forgetting us fans, is also very important. An interesting solution to this problem regarding the leagues in one of today's papers. No relegation throughout all the leagues, promote Leeds & WBA, making The Premier League 22 teams, the same throughout the EFL, no relegation from league 2, then promote Barrow, Harrogate & Notts County. (That's today's league positions) The Premier League would be 22 teams, then all the other EFL Leagues,including The National League would be 24 teams, teams from The North and South would still get promoted. Thoughts, because I can't see football restarting, this Virus is only going to get worse.

that's the way it was done in Chile once when their season didn't complete - it's the most obvious and sensible solution - so probably won't happen knowing the FA....

The Uruguay League in 1933 was difficult to resolve.

Take the number of points, divide it by the number of matches played and that will give you points per game. That can then become the final table on which to build promotion and relegation. If some teams are on the same number of points it can then go to goal difference, goals scored, number of games won - whatever. Keep it simple. :)

I pinched it from Steve Leonard who is an accountant and presumably knows about such things - and can do the sums! :)

Whilst I would like to take credit (or maybe not !) I didn’t say it - someone else posted it - possibly in the a reply to me.

There is merit in the suggestion although I doubt football championships /promotions and relegations will be decided by accountants !
Some people really do need to think a bit more before they post things on here

Perfect,if only the greedy Premiership agree. I would go further to placate a number of other clubs. With no relegation the parachute payments should be shared with all clubs currently in the remaining play-off positions. Sounds like a solution with far more winners than losers -thats why it probably won't happen.

How about the Premier League clubs chucking a million or two into a fund to help clubs lower down the pyramid?

Sorry I have to go now .....I’ve just seen a pig flying by! :lol:
