I wasn't being sarcastic, I agree it would almost certainly have been unfounded speculation their part, but I mentioned it because the person is an employee on the non playing side.
Regards international weekends, I had no idea, but would leagues one and two have to defer to that if the season is underway by then?
Yes. They want to avoid starting the new season on that weekend due to possible international call ups. Some league one clubs particularly have to cancel games on these weekends. |

The club have said via the website that ST info will be available within the next few days which says to me that a start date and whether people will be able to attend etc should be known by then... Not sure otherwise how they’d be able to sell tickets without knowing if people could in fact actually enter the ground.

Genuine question, are you simple minded?

Any indication or speculation on when the fixtures will be out? Early August wouldn't surprise me

Watching the league 1 play offs. Piss poor. Based on that we could have a good season back in league 1

Was a poor game and with our aggressive approach we'd have seen both those off.....definitely Pompey to look forward to again next season. Unless something strange happens a couple of trips to Blackpool are back on the cards too. |

They'll at least wait until the end of this season, I would have thought...  |

Pompey staying down at least gives me a local game, if we are able to attend by then...  |

So one of Oxford or Wycombe in the championship next season .
Both clubs have competed at our level for many a year and not been as good as us quite often .
It just shows we could get there with the wind in the right direction .

Especially as Wycombe are perhaps the closest thing to our style of play right now.
Just shows that League One teams can struggle against it too, can't see them lasting long in the championship though.

I hope Wigan don’t go down .
They will start afresh with no debt and the same squad that competes well in the championship .

I went to Sixfields to collect my "cut out" today. In one entrance, 2m signs everywhere and barriers, staff in masks, then out another door. I just do not see how they could make this work with a couple of thousand people in there. Having said all that, still getting a Season Ticket !

If they end up in the relegation zone at the end of the current Championship season, the 12pt deduction is carried over to their League One season! They've also been shafted by Chinese c***s (yes I said it!) who have clearly no interest in any lower Championship, never mind League One club and placed them in administration...blaming Covid-19. Tosh, they took over during the lockdown...as is their claims of putting £40 million into Wigan Athletic it appears! |

some quite staggering figures here..... https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jul/01/wigan-go-into-administration-four-weeks-after-hong-kong-takeover£17.5m wage bill? Nearly 25 million invested in the club in just 18 months.....yet still reported a £9m loss. This is Wigan Athletic we are talking about.....shows the truly astronomical figures needed just to compete higher up the leagues. |

The Brexit argument quoted in that article seems extraordinarily weak. Any impact to date is marginal at the most. The new owners made their original investment post the vote. Wigan have over achieved given their actual support. That £17.5 million wage bill is the decisive factor.

Maybe , but even with a 12 point reduction they probably wouldn’t go down and will be in a very strong position coming out of COVID with no debt . The administration was pre meditated . Any team doing that should be relegated two divisions . |

I think you are right on this and the EFL should take a very close look at it, also it shows how good their fit and proper persons check is. The EFL and the FA are not fit to run football. |

I'm sure that I heard yesterday that the person who bought Wigan paid £41m for them and then within weeks had put them into administration? Apparently he had 'sold' the club to himself under a different name/nomenclature.

Fully agree that there must be a much tougher stance on clubs that go into administration. |
