Really feel for you especially with a young baby and sadly this story is going to be replayed up and down the country in the coming months. My wife just returned to work now having to give it up to look after the little one as nursery has closed. I am on temp contract which could easily be cut...

Use their holiday allowance and use grandparents in our case. Holiday allowance won’t stretch to the additional time now needed and grandparents can now not be used. Unpaid time off only option and will be the same for families up and down the country.

Because not all can afford or get paid whilst they are now not at work looking after their children

Not really we now have at least one parent who has children now not working when surely the more sensible thing would be to start testing frontline essential workforce like nurses and teachers to minimise disruption.

So now as parents are forced to work kids will be looked after by grandparents what a sensible move .......

Large parts of the workforce are now trialling remote working which could see a significant shift from old office based ideals and further flexible working. This would reduce the congestion and pollution on roads and prevent the need for lots of road expansion costs that could be put back into...

Once this has settled down I would imagine the Chinese along with the rest of the world will be looking for answers, actions and lessons learned to reduce the chance of this happening again. Would expect nothing less

With all of the shifts to remote working, meetings and now teaching on such a huge scale I wonder if one of the outputs of this crisis may be a complete re-think about how we structure and live our working lives. This virus could be a catalyst for change in travel and working habits in the future.

I think the latter is almost nailed on it’s just they are waiting for the right time to tell people at the point everyone will knowingly accept there is no other option.

Coronavirus / Covid-19 With many having mild symptoms that would go unreported, people struggling to differentiate having normal cold and flu with this and a new approach to self isolating without testing then the death % rate is very likely to be overstated. As we enter the new phase...

For me that is not a fair outcome as each team has not played the same fixtures home and away so some would have had a tougher 29 games than others. This is why either finishing completely or null and void are really the only two fair options.

TV companies: We want our money back Premier League: No problem TV companies: Whilst we are here what is the price for the next TV rights Premier League: Oh that just went up 200%

Very good summary and by far the cleanest approach to dealing with the situation

Is it fair? Some teams will have played easier games at home in the first half of the season and have harder second halves to the season

*deleted duplicate post*

Despite the global crisis at a simple level we are talking about a refund of 9 games which if cancelled will happen as the club is ran professionally and they would do that. In the grand scheme of things i agree it is the least of anyone’s worries I was responding against the assumption that...

Nope although not sure what relevance my age has on any of this

If matches are cancelled we have lost money as the season ticket contract is for all matches in the season and the full season would not be played. All this talk of non refunds is ridiculous the club are obliged to refund for any games cancelled if that is what ends up happening and they will...

My guess is this morning PL is to agree to postpone all fixtures and Tuesdays UEFA meeting is to get the alignment you describe across the leagues
