Never (NEVER) have I been as grateful for a busy work day, as I have been today. Somehow I've managed to get it all done, and I'm about to go and to do the same thing I did for the other two games in the Play Offs: go for a long walk before the game to try and take my mind off it again. And then op...

Squeaky bum time folks. We are playing for the right to challenge for a place in top flight football. This is massive. I so wish I could be there. Its a huge shame that the fans cannot be there in person for a match of such importance. The only time I've ever been this nervous for a football match w...

Wemberlee!

There's a lot of this talk on the other side as well. Wycombe have just gone and won 4-1 away to a very much in-form Fleetwood side and missed a penalty to boot. They may not be pretty but they are effective. The final is also a one-off game and there's a lot of luck in football. Form from 3 months...

Can't disagree about Woodburn. I don't remember the Sky commentators even mentioning his name until he was subbed. I didn't think James Henry really got into it either, apart from set pieces, where his balls into the box were generally very good (ooh matron!). Dickie and Elliott were massive for us...

I’ve used Now TV in the past for F1 and cricket. Less so for football as I have little interest in watching games on the box that are of little or no relevance to OUFC. I’ll be surprised and disappointed if season ticket holders, who relinquished their rights to refunds under the very short and poor...

You're probably right about the TV deals. But there's no reason iFollow revenues can't become significant. Andy Holt, the Accrington chairman, has gone into quite a bit of detail on Twitter about the problems with iFollow revenues. At the moment, when a viewer pays to watch a game, that revenue goe...

Am I correct in thinking that if one is furloughed it inhibits (legally) your ability to do a job- eg, you’re not allowed to do any part of your job. If so how do footballer in the furlough scheme train? That’s correct, except for company directors performing minimum duties to maintain company lega...

There is nothing in the license preventing matches being played during the summer.

As the country has been placed in a national emergency, it does mean the club won't be paying rent. Nor do they have access to the stadium.

Do you mean generally, or for COVID19?

The license fee is normally payable quarterly in advance on calendar quarters.

The license has a Force Majeure clause, which includes a national emergency, and the Force Majeure period releases the club of its obligations under the license for that period.

Jeez, can this year get any worse?

Yes, Slumdon could get promoted!

The PL has put out an interesting idea, which is basically promotion for anyone presently in an automatic spot, but no relegation. Then at the end of next season, the number of relegation places is increased to return the divisions to their regular number the following season. This would mean few t...
