If I read it right, five city players / staff are suffering from potential corona virus type symptoms, so the game tomorrow is off.
This is the most from one club yet, I believe. Events are clearly escalating. I'm sure that all city fans thoughts are with all those affected. Hope they recover OK and all their family stay well. Keep the faith!

Why does he say “to be honest” so often? And why does he take that attitude now rather than a decade ago? Feet up watching daytime television eh Boddy? What a life.

What's going to happen to the season now? I reckon it'll be scrapped; in which case surely PPG (Points per game) has to be the answer to promotion and relegation issues.
It's really unfortunate for Halesowen in the Trophy: perhaps they could play the remaining Trophy/Vase games as a pre-season competition?
PS : I've just noticed that the MFL shows fixtures re-commencing on 4th April. Surely that's been overtaken by events?

To be honest I don't think it really matters at the moment. Bill Shankly was wrong.

If the season is decided on points per game I did the sums and the final table would look indicate that Coventry United would be champions and the top two places would look like this:-
POS P W D L F A GD PTS PPG 1 Coventry United 29 19 5 5 60 31 29 62 2.138 2 Sporting Khalsa 26 18 1 7 66 27 39 55 2.115
These two teams were first and second anyway when the season went into hibernation. City would finish in 11th on 1.385 PPG.
The bottom two teams would be as below, and they were the bottom two teams anyway, so like 1st and 2nd that would be fair.
19 Gresley 26 3 7 16 29 51 -22 16 0.615 20 Selston 25 2 7 16 29 67 -38 13 0.520

Very sensible decision by all concerned. Swift, decisive action, which draws a line under the season. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52052351In football, bottom can beat top at any stage, and previous results bear little influence on the future. Anything else would have caused chaos and legal arguments. The rest of football will try and hang on, but I've no doubt will follow suit in due course. The fairest way by far.

Heathens will no doubt be spitting at the decision...

Good decision, lets hope we can start again in August - big "if" though.

I think that downthelane’s opinion on Coronavirus would be very entertaining.
