    BREAKING: The FA, Premier League, EFL and Barclays FA Women’s Super League and FA Women’s Championship have collectively agreed to postpone the professional game in England until 3 April at the earliest (also all youth games and the two England Euro 2020 warm up games).

    Agreed - with Gov't experts saying virus numbers aren't going to peak for between ten and fourteen weeks it looks likely the rest of this season will be written off.

    Shame, they could have cashed in tomorrow if they'd been at home. Also there will be a glut of pies etc going cheap from the catering company at the KC .

    The National League meet in the next half hour, presumably they will follow suit and the amateur game will come under pressure to do the same.

    HULL CITY HAVE RECEIVED CONFIRMATION FROM THE EFL THAT ALL FOOTBALL ACTIVITY HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL 3RD APRIL AT THE EARLIEST DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK.

    This means the Tigers’ first-team fixtures at home to Charlton Athletic and Middlesbrough, and away to Birmingham City, will no longer go ahead as originally planned.

    In a statement, the EFL said: “The FA, Premier League, EFL and Barclays FA Women’s Super League and FA Women’s Championship have collectively agreed to postpone the professional game in England until 3 April at the earliest.

    “This action, which will be kept under constant review, has been taken due to the increasing numbers of Clubs taking steps to isolate their players and staff because of the COVID-19 virus.

    “The postponements include all matches in the Championship, League One and League Two, as well as all Academy and youth team fixtures.

    “In addition, Clubs are being advised to suspend indefinitely all non-essential activities which include, but are not limited to, player appearances, training ground visits and fan meetings.

    “Whilst the EFL Board has continued to take the advice and guidance offered by the Government and its health advisors, emerging developments mean now is the time to implement football’s contingency plans in response to the crisis.

    “A further update on these plans will be given post an EFL Board Meeting next week.

    “This decision has not been taken lightly, but the EFL must prioritise the health and well-being of players, staff and supporters while also acknowledging the Government’s national efforts in tackling this outbreak.”

    We will continue to update supporters of any further developments.

    The government tactic of 'heard immunity' is barbaric.

    We'd need to need 60% of people to be infected. With a death rate 1% that is nearly 400,000 deaths.

    Everyone's mentioning Euro 2020 being moved to next year, which is definitely going to happen, but what about the Olympics?

    I think I might put a bet on Japan to win the most medals at the olympics. They'll probably be the only country.

    Can't say I'll lose sleep over that. Mind, don't suppose they're too bothered about City v Charlton being off either...:emoticon-0100-smile
