Difficult Times For Football

The EFL, Premier League and PFA all met earlier today to discuss the the financial impact that the coronavirus might have on English Football.

We already know that games are suspended until, at the earliest, the end of next month, although many of us, rightly or wrong, believe that when that date arrives games will be again postponed.

It has been agreed that the EFL, PFA and PL will work together with more meetings scheduled for next week when they say that ‘difficult decisions will have to be taken.’

But what will happen?

Already this week we have seen all English football below the National League end with all results expunged which means there will be no promotion or relegation – which, although doesn’t seem fair, at least they haven’t been left in limbo wondering what’s happening like our team and fans at Rotherham United.

We don’t know what’s going to happen with this season. It could be, like the lower leagues, it ends and it’s as though this season never was, the teams could play behind closed doors which, because of the stay two metres away from others, would be very difficult or it could carry on when all is safe to carry on our lives. But, we have no idea when that will be.

Rotherham United have closed the New York Stadium but Millers fans are still able to buy merchandise via the online shop while being kept up to date on the Official Site.

Keep Safe.

Up The Millers.
