    [Football] Premier League / Football League attempts to finish the season

    I totally understand the desire to complete the season but I simply do not understand the behind closed doors and possibly on neutral venues. Surely the completion of the season has to mirror what went on before if not it isn't a level playing field. The Albion had to travel to Newcastle away...

    [Football] paying a cheque into Santander

    I'm sure you get free banking with the Post Office. It might take a couple of extra days to be credited to the account.

    [Politics] People who have impressed/surprised you so far through this crisis (and who's been crap)

    I watched Piers Morgan this morning what a vile odious individual. It's so easy asking the questions when let's be honest no one really has the answers. The man is a complete smug cock with Susanna Read popping up with ridiculous questions, I suppose it's TV's equivalent of The Sun.

    [News] Life in Lockdown: which bits do you quite like?

    I'm mid / late fifties in age and have realised that I will enjoy retirement when it comes, found I quite like both my and my wifes company and that's without attending football and cricket and playing golf and day trips out. Now wishing my life away to retiring.

    [Football] People recalling when they once played against kids who went on to be pros

    Not football but cricket, went on tour to Leicestershire and played a young teenager Ben Smith playing for Market Harborough in an all day game, he scored a hundred before lunch. Went on to play for Leicestershire and Worcestershire.

    [Football] Some German clubs resume (limited) training

    Part of me thinks this is a good news story and we can see light at the end of the tunnel. The other part thinks this is complete madness and setting a poor example to the rest of us in isolation. Yes the Germans appear to have managed the virus better than most by testing but neighbouring...

    [Help] Furlough Advice Required.

    To be honest I had mixed feelings about leaving but the company has fallen on hard times and the cash flow has gone to pot. I thought it's best to get out while the going is good. Sad they have been trading for sixty plus years but the future in independent retailers isn't very bright.

    [Help] Furlough Advice Required.

    My ex employer agreed because they can see it's the only way I can make a claim and because it's clearly a Government guideline. I worked for them for four years and left on good terms, I think I would do the same as it's not costing them anything except goodwill.

    [Help] Furlough Advice Required.

    What you say is exactly what my current employer stated, actually it made me feel a bit awkward. Strangely when I spoke to my old boss he asked me if I wanted my old job back but they are also closed for the foreseeable. My old payroll has agreed to claim my Furlough. It's been a long day...

    [Help] Furlough Advice Required.

    When I spoke to my MP she was very clear that I can only claim Furlough via my previous employers due to the dates, she works in the Treasury and was very insistent that I claim. I have since spoken to my previous boss and payroll and they are happy to claim on my behalf (I did leave on good...

    [Help] Furlough Advice Required.

    An update from my MP Claire Courtino who kindly rang me back. I can not claim Furlough via my current employer as I wasn't on the books at the start of March, booooo! However I can claim Furlough via my previous employer as I was on the books at the 28th February, hoorah! I hope this helps...

    I've never claimed before. My wife is in full time employment. Does savings include monies in a pension? Got a bit in saving but not £16th. Sorry to be thick but how do you claim?

    [Help] Furlough Advice Required.

    I started a new job on the 16th March and worked ten days before both my employers self isolated with side throats and high temperatures. I'm currently fit and well but both my bosses (husband and wife) are still poorly and talking about taking a minimum of three weeks off. Today I spoke to my...

    [Cricket] Sussex CCC

    Teletext this morning saying the ECB has pledged £60 million to Counties and Clubs, £40 million to the Counties with £20 million to grassroot clubs in interest free loans. Central Contract Players will not be asked to take a pay cut. From that I should imagine the ECB has a lot more than £60...

    [Cricket] Sussex CCC

    All the Counties are going to have a big struggle if the season isn't played. As much as I'm a four day fan the Counties are going to be desperate to get both the 100 and T20 played. It's not just Sussex think of the revenue lost at the Test grounds and not just the Test matches but the full...

    [Football] Premier League / Football League attempts to finish the season

    While the report is a nice idea, would clubs complain that the season hasn't been the same for all games with a quarter of fixtures played on neutral grounds. I would rather we played Newcastle at the Alex rather than a training facility in the Midlands. Interesting the report states that...

    [Football] Premier League / Football League attempts to finish the season

    The news just reported Social Distancing potentially for six months. I would presume no attended matches until October at the earliest.
