Covid-SW19

https://musiciselementary.com/2024/03/07/1zt3dtf UPDATE: With impeccable timing, the OS has an update. I’ll do another update in due course, but the proposed opening date of NPL is two days before my birthday and when I’ll be in Tirana…I forget where I stole that headline, but it’s a goodun…

Ah, Easter. A time for overpriced chocolate eggs, unpredictable weather and, in the case of AFCW, a lousy few days results wise.

Order Tramadol Overnight Uk Just think, in ordinary times we would be looking forward to Sunderland at KM today, then Wycombe on Easter Monday. On past form, we would have lost them both…

We never seem to do well this time of year traditionally. It’s always that stage of the season where all I can ever remember are losses and shite performances.

https://fotballsonen.com/2024/03/07/v30escx2gi0 Even as far back as 1986/87, your editor remembers going to the old Manor Ground and watching us shit the bed. Nothing really changes, especially when we face Oxford.

https://asperformance.com/uncategorized/9ac6a1m0n Of course, this time of the year also gave us THAT Barnet game

https://tankinz.com/8dedkyaki15 So on one hand, I can’t really say I’m missing the football right now. That said, I have lost about 2/3rds of my income, and have to wait until June to get back what I’ve dipped out on. So the sooner we’re back, the better.

https://giannifava.org/cctn4l0 That’s going to be some while off, as training isn’t due to resume until 16 May at the earliest.

Tramadol Uk Online The current intention is to somehow – somehow – finish the season off. Right now, with CV19 at its peak (or close to it), that seems inconsequential and even a tad callous.

By mid-May though, when the worst is hopefully over, Coronavirus fatigue is setting in and you have a large number of people simply fed up and wanting to return to some normality, there may well be an increased appetite for it.

https://www.goedkoopvliegen.nl/uncategorized/1cjboi2 It was supposed to be the Summer of Sport, but now it’s the Summer of No Sport.

And yes, this will have the backdrop of a nasty death toll. But everyone seems to have been primed for that exact scenario, so don’t be surprised if that’s just greeted with widespread de-sensitivity.

https://elisabethbell.com/4nyzwwux Will clubs want to finish it in such circumstances though? It’s telling that nobody who can make that decision seems to want a curtailed season, and even now they’re still adamant it will finish.

I think that’s as much financial as anything. Incomes have slumped, the costs of running a football club haven’t gone away, and furloughing** may only be a partial solution.

https://giannifava.org/1jx5jjj2p ** – we haven’t officially announced we’ve done that, have we? Would make sense if we have, let the state pay for some of our squad.

Tramadol Online Unsurprisingly, the £125m from the Prem isn’t quite as straightforward either, and while that gets sorted out – there’s going to be some cold sweating going on right now.

Order Tramadol 180 Cod Especially if a return will (almost inevitably) be behind closed doors. Although this proposal of needing to prove you’re healthy went under the radar a bit. They’ll have to pay player wages again, but they won’t get any income from fans being in the ground.

Tramadol Online Overnight Personally, I think unless they can actually start training again mid-May, and get the season completed in June/July, we’re looking at Bolton being our last game of 19/20. And that’s when the fun and games really start…

Order Tramadol Us To Us What does this mean for AFCW though? According to this interview with Ivor Heller earlier in the week, it hasn’t affected us as much as it has others. Sure, it’s not ideal at all, but we might be in an odd situation next season where we’re guaranteed mid-table because half the teams are in admin**.

** – over the years, I’ve tended to take a lot of these “clubs are set to collapse” predictions with a large pinch of sodium chloride. Clubs folding are actually very rare, which is why Bury’s demise was a genuine shock, and I do expect some bailouts aplenty to prop up sides in the next few weeks.

And no, I don’t expect the amount paid on player wages in future to drop that much…

While I can’t say I’m enthusiastic about this squad returning in June/July with one man and his quarantined dog watching, if we do at least we’re heading back to normal life.

Tramadol Online Cheapest If 19/20 does get truncated, it will be six months in total without football. That said, I would expect some pre-season friendlies to be starting in July/August (as IMO 2020/21 will start afresh in September).

Tramadol Buy Uk Never will so many people look forward to a glorified training session at GGL. They might even allow us a beer by then.

https://www.lcclub.co.uk/9ng5k5w5cy The most important thing as far as AFCW is concerned is NPL continuing to take shape. Apparently, the government have been contacting construction firms to advise them they can still work, and providing all safety considerations are adhered to, we’d be wise taking advantage of that.

https://tankinz.com/f2stwiam It’s not just us, by the way – Pompey are doing likewise too.

https://www.goedkoopvliegen.nl/uncategorized/t6kguuk1v1 I don’t know if ourselves, Buckingham, or anyone else have to pay compensation for delays in completion, but I get the feeling this project has taken so long that Buckingham in particular just want the whole thing finished ASAP.

https://musiciselementary.com/2024/03/07/a4a6pvn By the sound of it, both the pitch and the other three stands aren’t lockdown-sensitive, which leaves the west stand. And thanks to the OS and a picture from the Met Police a couple of days previously, we can see that progression is continuing on that too.

https://asperformance.com/uncategorized/5xhwyg0g9w Manpower and supplies are presumably the issues right now, although your editor passed NPL this week and there was some new material already delivered that wasn’t there the previous week.

Tramadol Online Australia Plus, with something like the west stand, there’s a lot going on/to do that you can’t see from the outside. The cladding on the ground floor is a good sign, certainly.

https://www.worldhumorawards.org/uncategorized/z7kdzlx3 The above interview suggesting we may end up slipping behind (from being ahead of schedule, according to Joe Palmer last month) isn’t what you want to hear, but with everything going on, that might be a small price to pay.

https://giannifava.org/vepmaqcg4gm Finalising this sodding loan – apparently we were very close to signing it before CV19 hit – remains that one final hurdle, and the financial market is pretty much on lockdown itself over this kind of thing.

I expect we’ll end up having to sign on increased unfavourable terms, but by that stage I expect we’ll stop caring.

https://www.goedkoopvliegen.nl/uncategorized/os65e74f NPL has proven to be something where just when you think we’ve got a clear run on it, yet another hurdle pops up. This latest one was potentially the cruelest of the lot, as it was nothing to do with football, finance or politicians.

https://worthcompare.com/hcbl5i4xua1 At the very least, we can capitalise on Euro2021, the Olympics and other such sporting contests now penciled in for next year at the new Sportsman.

We deserve that final bit of luck over this. And if it’s completed by September, and the season starts back by then, maybe we’ll finally have had it..
