straight from the Cobblers school of wishful thinking. He saysNorthampton chairman Kelvin Thomas confident playoffs will go ahead.
Cobblers chairman Thomas confident play-offs will go ahead next month - and expects there to be home and away legs
League Two clubs voted to end the season last Fridaywww.northamptonchron.co.uk
- play offs need to be completed by 30 June and
- manager wants players to have two to three weeks training before playing any games
- there will be home and away legs and a final at a neutral venue ( so that means five different grounds being made safe for games)
- play offs normally take ten days. No, they often take nearly a fortnight ( weekend first leg , midweek second leg and final ten days later)Ten days might be feasible if played behind closed doors
So for this to work by 30 June then training would have to start very soon. Risk assessments and precautions implemented for five grounds including SJP. Players would have to be unfurloughed. And then furloughed again until next season can start, which in Leagues One and Two only makes sense when crowds can attend.
