I agree with Molsk about the lower leagues being better to watch. RL has been my only sport for about 45 Yrs but I hardly watch a full SL game as I find them mainly one sided and boring.
This money though is a loan - not a grant and will need to be paid back so that will need to be dealt with.
JK says no fans till next year. Will ST money be paid back or rolled over to next year?
This money is helpful but when shared out will only be a very small plaster if games are started again behind doors with absolutely no money coming in except 80% wages paid.
I still expect some clubs to fold unfortunately.

goes without saying that SKYwould have to agree to streams, It would have to be a league wide thing. Clubs need to offset the lost match attendance income any way they can for rest of season. Think SL clubs are in a slightly better position as at least their player wages are covered by SKY payment. At our level SKY money doesn't cover player wages bill. Could easily see this season just being written fat every level below SL to cut costs and restart in 2021.

Given the circumstances, I can't think why Sky wouldn't agree to lower league games being streamed, either live or on delay. They pay, basically for SL games, ours is just an add on with little, if any, noticeable cost attached. They have no wish to show them but I'd guess they also have no wish to see our clubs go to the wall. They would gain nothing if that were to happen.

Football's league 2 clubs have voted to end the season. Pretty obvious why when you look at the comments of the Stevenage owner Phil Wallace who told BBC Sport: "We have 10 games to play ….. It would cost us £140,000 for the tests, we would have to bring players out of furlough and comply with a 47-page health and safety document regarding sterilisation of stadiums etc.

You'd have to think most of that would apply to us - in spades.

And there are plenty of reports on Fauci's assessment on the possibility of the US' American Football season taking place eg https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2 ... spreading/ Plus looking at the Bundesliga restart that's a pretty expensive exercise and Major League Baseball's proposals also look costly and complex https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/291 ... distancing I'm not sure SL can afford to do it properly but I wouldn't be surprised if the Government allow some half harrised plan to go ahead.
