Proposed start date for new EFL season

Post by Bergen »

The EFL have proposed two dates for the start of the season - August 29 or September 12.

Seems too optimistic to me.

No fans in next season as it stands. Need a season loan move to a bigger arena to get supporters in socially distanced 🤷🏼‍♂️

How do those dates coincide with with Premier League? Also McGleish said that money league won't return till next year, anyone got anything further on that?

I would have thought that the Premier, EFL and the semi pro leagues will all need to work in unison for a start date. Without that I don't see how it can flow seamlessly.

That's probably more realistic as the premier will need a few weeks break before starting again.

No reason why the EFL shouldn't start before the premier league. As long as there is no spike in Covid cases, Early/mid September should be realistic. The later the start the more chance that more clubs will go under. Once a start date is agreed clubs should be able to get seasonal monies from the EFL.

As long as testing is not deemed a necessity should be aiming for a September start.

Wouldn't be surprised if we start on 12th September with the Prem and the Championship a week later. It'll give the players from those 2 divisions a short break and then back in for a 5 or 6 week pre season. Fa cup replays are a gonner next season and they should probably knock the football league trophy on the head.

I've already coughed, but I'll be furious if this is the case.

Wouldn't be surprised if it started off behind closed doors but doubt it'll last all season.

I did, I think he may have stepped down now. He is however, still at the county level.
