Very likely to be due to the deep cleaning and constant testing that each of the clubs are going to have to undertake?

It seems you are correct 1971.  An article in The Independent quotes the cost of testing at £140,000 and states that this is the major reason why the Women's Super League has been cancelled.

Teams who are not participating in the play-offs will potentially be at a financial advantage because they won't have to fork out for testing. (Or at least they won't have to until if and when it's still in place before the start of next season.)

I hope that the league takes these costs into account and makes a decision on the TV money accordingly. I also think that a single one off play-off semi final would be a lot more sensible than a two-legged affair.

Oh dear a feeble attempt to bring political ‘joke’ into a decent thread. Still takes all typesl😎

I've just taken a delivery of Hook Nortons new summer beer,ESB. A wonderful new ale from a great brewery. Old Hooky a wonderful beer too. Will keep a couple back to celebrate play off victory however. UTC.

If it looks like the classic Lotto shirt from the mid 90s then I am all for it. Proper claret colour, and a simple logo. I remember talking to an Everton fan in the King Billy one night, he could not understand why we had such a sponsor, and theirs was a local butchers (I think)
As an aside, I have just taken a delivery of Old Hooky from the brewery. It took two days, but was worth the wait. Ching Ching as it turned up. Not happy with the driver though. Miserable c***. You dont get a tip or feedback pal.

Did you see the smirk and chuckle after he thought the filming had ended?

Yes. One word. Smug. That is going to come back and bite him.

I had you down as a Hooky man.

Nah, think Northants destroys Oxon in terms of breweries*
Carlsberg not included in stats! 

This will end in tears

I have just seen Dominic Cummings interview. What a car crash. He refused to apologise for driving to Durham during lockdown, on his wifes birthday, and took a drive to Barnard Castle, with his four year old in the back seat, to make sure that his eyesight was OK. 
And he ran the country when Boris was in hospital. Shocked, but not surprised. If you can find it, take a look. Comedy gold.

The great Great Oakley Brewery (Tiffield, between Brackley and Northampton) have delivered a fine selection from their range to home in Oxford...and the twelve bottle case less than £40 (Inc courier charge) tbf!
