| Can’t see the season starting as planned, and presumably pre-season cancelled/delayed and players back on furlough. Think April/may is the earliest start - very depressing...........

| In theory there is no reason why season cant start as planned as long as champ is classed as elite sport. Sensibly and financially though with very little chance of fans being allowed back in stadiums. It seems crazy. More important for players and staff with how football seems to be going with rising numbers of positives and talk of pause in the season

| Whats changed?? Lockdown finishes mid Feb, 13 million vulnerable people will be vaccinated by then, I would say its all systems go as long as championship is elite sport.
Eccles and Co need to be flogging the players.

| Lockdown currently is planned to finish mid feb!
Whats changed? Hmmmm intersting comment. Coming out of lockdown is not going to be swift, so getting fans back into stadiums is not going to happen till a lot later, can lower tier clubs afford it. Thats whats changed

You're not usually that deluded WQ? Where do you get the idea 13m people will be vaccinated in the next 5 weeks when there are currently only about half million doses of vaccine in the country?
Who is going to pick up the tab for the testing that will be required? The cost of putting on a game behind closed doors could be prohibitive. Can't see how a club can fund all of that & player wages IF the only income stream is ppv (how much would the RFL cteam of the top for using their platform) & sponsors unless Amazon, Alphabet or Google are signing up tomorrow?
Two things that are required are leadership & planning. Depressingly the RFL & SL are incompetent at both.

To your list of incompetents you could add the Government.

The season is planned to start end of Feb(Pre lockdown) currently with live streaming for fans. That won't change due to the tier 4 - lockdown change. Nothing changes.
The Govt said 13 million vaccinated by mid feb https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55540679

| Aaaaah the Govt say a lot of things & they mostly get turned on their heads in no time at all. Do schools ring a bell?
Like to know if there are any estimates of how much the streaming of games will generate. Anyone want to offer up how much they want to pay per game? ÂŁ5, ÂŁ10 or what ÂŁ20? Perhaps ML might like to tell us how much it costs to put on a behind closed doors match. Don't think that should be a state secret but knowing Broncos perhaps it is.

The Tiers, London is in Tier 5 is to be reviewed on 15/2/2021, not necessarily ended. M Gove said on Today on Radio 5 that lockdown was likely to continue till March. Furlough funding continues till April - is any business going to throw away 80% funding on a possible resumption of business, but with no (or very little funding)? I just cannot see it.
The 13million vaccinated is just another throw away promise/prediction which this government makes, and then doesn’t deliver.
I would love to see the season start, and get to games, I like your enthusiasm/optimism, but just don’t believe it I’ll happen........

| If National League South can play in football I see no reason that Championship RL should not operate. Of course it may need to be behind closed doors but the game needs to adapt.

Don’t know much about football. Are National League South players full time/part time paid? Not sure the comparison is fair, another problem facing the Champs is travel, till Marrch no-one can travel, legally, in or out of London - players or fans. If London stays in 5 or parts of Yorks or lancs remain in 4/5 then again travel restrictions. I know if the Champs is deemed elite then I realise the players etc will be able to travel, but no fans. It just won’t work in my view

They are part-time. At National League level the league is regional but other elite level football requires national travel. If RL lacks the ambition to overcome these issues than don't be surprised if some fans learn to live without it.

The RFL has advised clubs in Betfred Championship and League 1 to pause their pre-season training programmes for the next two weeks, in recognition of the national crisis, and with more than seven weeks until the scheduled start of the 2021 season.

| Do we know when fixtures are being released?
Do we play loop fixtures or just home/away? If we do loop fixtures they may get dropped if there’s a delay.

| Still not convinced the RLWC will go ahead this year, although they are suggesting the Womens national team training camp coming up may go ahead.

| I do not see The Championship starting until May at the earliest, if pre season is suspended until March. I would imagine that the loop fixtures would need to be dropped. So that the RLWC can go ahead.

| Wq love yr optomism, although think you missed a couple of words out re the olympics.
The japanese are pushing on with the olympics AT THE MOMENT!
Govt in UK are already talking abput restructions next winter.
My money would be on RLWC if it goes ahead, only being able to accomodate 50% capacity. Still think good chance it gets pushed back 12 months.
As for our season april start earliest, most likely May.
