Still, leaving that for now, what I am saying is that its going to be incredibly hard to run a league schedule without postponements if bad luck strikes, it's going to be massively unfair to smaller clubs with weaker squads if they lose even one key player for 14 days They may have to go back to a " rolling " league where fixtures may be cancelled at short notice or re-arranged at very short notice as we already will be starting the Premiership late this season.

Apologies - fair enough, you are correct on the “official” numbers. Of course we are fully aware now that the numbers in mid-March were almost certainly closer to 50,000 a day than 900-odd, but you are correct in terms of the “official” figures. But the situation will never be as bad as it was mid-March again.

I imagine testing numbers are now far higher so in percentage terms that’s a lot lower?

Quite. It would be pretty much impossible for us to hit actual mid-March numbers again.
