So we don't play until the pandemic starts to reach it's peak?. Seems odd to me...
I do worry about the financial impact

It will be reviewed ongoing.

There are huge financial implications across the pyramid. We will have to wait and see what Exeter City say about this, I guess they could dip in to their reserves (and the players budget for next season).

That's 4 games postponed, with the intention to restart with Cheltenham away. So we lose Salford (H), Scunthorpe (H), Argyle (A), Bradford City (H).

By the looks the intention is to reschedule the games, but obviously there will be short term financial implications for clubs.

The danger is that people will get used to having a relaxed, chilled Saturday evening; my better-half will see me smile again; and the cat will stop hiding under the sofa!
Seriously though, without support from those with the cash, some clubs could find themselves in serious financial trouble.

I wonder if the EFL will use their reserves to help clubs out?
