Bobledgersheart Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 All along the Government's tactic has been to avoid a "spike" in infections so we may well see a quick return to lock-down when the level of new cases rise as measures are relaxed. Then we'd lurch between lock-downs and relative freedom as the country slowly gets the "herd immunity" referred to in their original scenario. As the invincible Mr.Cummings said "Herd immunity, protect the economy and if that means some pensioners die, too bad". We're a long way from being in the clear without an effective vaccine.

Otherwise the current premier league season wouldn’t be starting. If there is no second spike, it’s conceivable the season will start under various restrictions.

underdog Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Think football on and off the field will go through some radical changes and ideas in order for clubs to survive. Usually, our early bird monies contributes to getting us through the lean summer months. Previous to that the EFL hand out in jan with any FA cup runs tends to get us to march/april time. We did not get a cup run this season and i will presume the edmundson monies have now been paid up and long spent by xmas/jan time. I keep remembering £200k per month to keep us going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone bought a season ticket over the past month? I wouldn't be surprised if we haven't sold any! Has anyone bought a ST over the past month? As yet, there hasn't been any update on Latics' website! I wonder when, or if, the next season will start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine when a time line for next season is in place the club will bring people back into work to prepare with Dino one of the first to try and pull a squad together on even more of a show string budget, especially of the new season has to start behind closed doors.

underdog Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 EFL usually require the SCMP be submitted before the start of a season with a forecast up to first five months., usually June time. This includes players and agents fees and stuff like gate receipts so we are not living beyond our means and yearly accounts. This includes proof we have a place to play and can fulfill all our fixtures....for us it will be the lease, however I am unsure if the club are still querying the 2016 lease. Never mind negotiating still to buyout the current landlord. Then we have to submit it again 5 months in usually xmas time, to get us to the end of the season. We also have to submit the yearly accounts, which for 2018/19 year are due 26th June now. One of the last trust statement on 30th april state there should be a club board meeting in May to discuss/approve them, then they have to rolled out to shareholders to approve too....so this must be close for the Trust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are four key roles you need, Chair, secretary, treasurer and rep. I fear for its future and that shareholding that gives us the foot in the door that most other supporters envy. It needs the right people in the right roles now for it to be more effective to hold the club to account. Before I left I was doing at least three roles and its just unsustainable as you are just grenade juggling hoping one does not go off and you miss something important. The AGM is usually about July time, I hope it sends out and SOS for help. I would hate to see a lot of people's efforts over 16 years go to waste when it could be much, much more. Oh well....

While we obviously don't get big crowds enforcing social distancing in the corridors and concourses of BP will be extremely difficult even with as little as 500 people in each stand.

underdog Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I have seen somewhere a club trying out something similar to a drive through cinema. Maybe an option on the main car park on a big screen.

No home celebration though as they lost 0-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
