The threat of Coronavirus to ECFC

IMO, they won't restart on 4th April.

It will be extended until beyond the end of April.

I suppose the Euros will be cancelled now?

Talk of postponing till 2021

Easy for you to say if you're not the one getting married.

Would think the issue is between players and their clubs.

Quite. I hope it doesn't come to it but think it's now entirely conceivable, if not probable, this season will not be concluded.

I think you may be right , quite a mess. But as Mike said it’s not the most important thing with everything else going on around us.

A wedding can be rearranged : I'm sure all parties involved would be understanding. Anyway, if it's postponed presumably the virus is still a problem, in which case a wedding is not a good idea anyway, is it?

The Women’s matches have been cancelled till April 3rd

I wonder if they will cancel grassroots games next.

Yes. Millions of people will be inconvenienced or worse. Education, holidays, businesses, weddings, anniversaries, religious ceremonies, a myriad of sports events, rock concerts: the list is endless. Nobody asked for this virus,
but we have to react. Sorry for those who have to postpone their weddings as I'm sorry for everyone else who will suffer to whatever degree.

They then can't award Liverpool the title either, as they would have to be accepting (legally, I guess) that the league positions at the time of suspension are the valid end-of-season positions; at which point, they have to promote/relegate all of the teams in those respective positions, surely?

I reckon the virus was created in Manchester to stop Liverpool winning the title with a record points haul..........here's proof:
