I bloody hope not ..nowt worse than Bet 365 ..a mate ..or worse still a dingle mate texts you to tell you your already one down !!

Cheers Dave ...wife will be well happy ..??

i suppose it equates to four home game tickets so reasonable. No sign of a refund yet for those unable/unwilling to watch through iFollow. Two season ticket holders in our household too ..may seem a daft question but is iFollow only available through a PC/Tablet/Phone or is it possible to stream via a Smart TV ? Or maybe cast from a device to a Smart TV ?

Sorry Dave if thats how i came across ..apologies. Fitness wise all teams starting at the same level ..all been monitored through the break not like Summer were players do and eat what they like with no monitoring. Im sure there will be injuries but as a sport that adds to the drama of a season ..i just think that being able to rotate five players and basically cover every injury/sending off For and Against tactically detracts from the game. Lets put it this way if this was a rule in USA soccer ...and muted to be introduced here ...im damn sure everyone would be knocking it sideways .

So lets take away the unpredictablity from a game because we dont want players injured ?? All seen it ..keeper gets injured and we all shout .."They ve used all their subs!!. ..oh wait they ve still two more to go ..." ..Its a tactical game ..you ve three replacements to use ..sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt ..not we ve used three ..not worked ..lets try two more ..til it does work .Again ..gives managers to even correct their subs ! Crazy. Why do we not win on our footie coupon Dave ..? Because of unpredictable situations ..introduce five subs ..you start to take that away in a big way .And only teams in depth will benefit. You may have best the eleven starting every week but not a lot on the bench but when you ve to play 16 fresh decent players you re going to get done at some point.

Give over ..these players have had ten week to keep fit ... monitored by the club ..not gallivanting in Ibiza for three weeks....nothing like a pre season at all. They all knew they would be coming back at some point ..ok ..why not in future allow the first ten games of the season you can use five subs ..because they re coming back from pre season and protect the players from injury ? Dear oh dear ..

Well my local boozer will be seeing less of me after what ive saved these last ten weeks or so !

Its not the stopping of the game thats a problem ..it the simple fact that bigger clubs with strength in depth get to flex their muscles more than they would have done with only three subs. Christ ..even i could manage to get Rothwell on ..and i dont even rate him and get apat on the back from BRFCS ! Its taking away the skill in the game Rev ..ie tactics man management yellow cards etc etc where a manager has to think ..not just go its ok we ve five subs left we ll simply rotate a position .

Not really the case . Suddenly having five substitutions takes away the managers dilemmas .How many times have we got down to our last Sub ..hoping its X player when its Y. How many on here have complained TM has got it wrong Now even TM cant fuck up substitutions with five! Taking away the integrity and skill of man managing at team during 90mins. Five subs with a strong squad ..cant fail. Barnsley get to 75 mins hanging on for a draw and suddenly Leeds use their last THREE subs to smash um in the last 15 mins after their first TWO didnt work out. It will be like American Football ..players coming on left right and centre ..or ..just like a pre season friendly. Bollox

Because clubs with stronger squad depth than others can basically put out a fresh "Half A Side " with the same quality and basically blow those without that strength out of the water within 90mins

Why not ?

Lets be grateful that Rovers are one of the very few clubs that release their Season Tickets at the last minute ! #silverlining

Sunderlands response to refunds for season ticket holders if games played behind closed doors ..which obviously is inevitable

All clubs to resume training May 25th

Its true though RB. People will have different ideas in all ways of life. Human nature. From people thinking twice of going into a packed pub (or even going into a pub at all after realising just how much money they used to piss up in a pub !) to the elderly declining meals out with family at pubs and restaurants .. to people getting told in queues to step back a bit and stop breathing down me neck! To shopping online instead of actual 'shopping' ....it will be endless believe me.

Different mindset from now on ..new 'norms' are looming

Todays viewing figure results .. BT Bundesliga 500 000 ..... Midsomer Murders 886 000 (Read in a James Alexander Gordon voice .)

Completely agree regarding getting paid ..dont play ..dont get paid..thats not an issue to me and never said it was . The safety aspect regarding vulnerable people in the household is though. Players dont want to play then they should be allowed not too simple as that.

And if the players wives ..girlfriends are pregnant ..or have small children ? Its NOT just about the players ..they re going to be in close contact for 90 minutes ..and if they are not then its not worth the games going ahead because they ll end up being played out like a training game. More risk than going to the supermarket one would think ..

Latest EFL statement .. https://www.efl.com/news/2020/may/efl-statement-coronavirus-update

Stevie B asleep ..

The season should be null and void end of. Talk of playing out this season next year ..how is that even fair ? Teams older players are going to be virtually a year older so could weaken certain teams ..younger players a year older and stronger ..you could have teams looking like completely different sides to how they look now ..even without a transfer window and using the same players. Danny Graham in 10 months time anyone ?? So we re a striker down straight away ..

Season ticket ? Who's buying a season ticket with the prospect of being locked out potentially for half a season if not more. And the old one that keeps getting rolled out on here ."If people stop going they get out of going and find other things to do "..(and thats when footie is available to watch at a reasonable -ish price but people are bored of the football)..what sort of fan base will be left when the turnstiles do click open

Im sure the WA state govt would have very good measures in place ..but we re talking about football players here, if anyone is going to flout rules and strict regulations ..its football players. The risk of something going wrong ..whatever the measures in place are simply not worth it. Germanys return already under threat ..because of ..footballers . https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-8284991/Former-Chelsea-striker-Salomon-Kalou-seen-making-mockery-coronavirus-hygiene-rules.html Imagine the UK getting the Covid 19 under control then the Italian and Spanish Leagues saying we re sending over 20 teams because we cant risk infection on our own doorstep ..there would be uproar. If the PL want to take a risk at least do it in their own backyard .

Why would Australia after nailing Covid 19 want to open its borders to 20 English footie teams who cant play their games in England due to infection ..and run the risk of undoing all the hard work in combating Covid 19 on their own turf? .IF for any reason there was another outbreak in Australia and was linked back to this proposed footie invasion god forbid the ramifications ..i dont think for one minute the Australian Govt would even give this a moments thought.
