Or at least the Premier League and EFL Championship are restarting behind closed doors to finish off the 2019/20 Season.
Sadly all the lower tiers of the football pyramid in England were terminated "as is" weeks and weeks ago and this week. EFL Leagues One and Two voted to end as they are. This means that league positions were decided on a points-per-game basis with I assume goal difference being applied where necessary.
For me that means that Oldham Athletic were placed 19th in League Two.
As for the Premier League. It means that games start again on June 17th with four clubs playing. This apparently is so that over the weekend of 19th to 21st June that all clubs start on the same number of games played.
Arsenal are one of the four teams and they play away at Manchester City, before entertaining Brighton & Hove Albion away at the Amex Stadium on Saturday.
It seems away games outnumber home games for the restart.
I guess money counts more at the top two levels of the pyramid and bollocks to the small clubs struggling to stay afloat with no income.
How many of the small clubs will go to the wall due to the mismanagement of football by the FA and EFL, and the greed of the Premier League, both clubs and players?
