Appreciate that entirely Ste.....

But March/the spring is a different scenario, if all the "at risk" people are vaccinated then it seems that it will be back to normal even moreso where people are in the open air. Anyway we shall see.....

Not a chance that all of the "at risk" people will have been vaccinated by March, not a chance.
There is more chance of Trinity winning the GF and Challenge Cup double and we both can agree how unlikely that is

The NHS will be "all on" to cope with the huge increase in demand on their services and while "some" will be vaccinated by March, clubs will be lucky, very lucky to allow all of their S/T holders in by April by, which time the Championship will have hopefully completed maybe 10 of their fixtures.

It's going to be a huge, huge test for everyone.

My bad, I should have taken more note of the fixture schedule, although the Championship is due to kick off 27/28 Feb ?

It matters not, which fixtures are played. Without paying spectators coming through the turnstiles, clubs incur cost without revenue, which is going to add to the financial pain.

Everything swings on when and how many, fans are allowed to attend.

It does.

And in answer to the governments projected timetable for innoculations many independent experts are saying March is pretty much wishful thinking for everyone to have had the jab plus it probably needs two jabs to be fully safe.

I think you win this one, little gate income 2021 and no TV income 2022 onwards

So which Championship clubs do you think will be at the starting gate 2022??

IF significant numbers of fans cant attend and more importantly, pay to attend games and without any funding for 2020, there may be very few Championship and League 1 clubs at the starting line in 2022.
Wages are the biggest single cost to most club and they will either have to get very "creative" with their revenue streams or go to part time.
Only those with plenty of cash behind them will continue, unless there is some change to dual reg, which may allow them to use SL "squad" players, which may see the Championship and league 1 clubs becoming more like feeder clubs.
Perhaps we will see more "partnerships" developing between those in the top flight and those lower down the pecking order.
Maybe the time has come to return to "franchising" in a slightly larger top flight, with the inclusion of Bradford, York, Newcastle etc. However, I really cant see any of the bigger clubs agreeing to a smaller slice of the Sky monies.
There could be a real shake up before the start of next season.

It’s clear that the vaccinations are in progress. The drugs companies are stating 2M vaccines will be available weekly with the NHS stating they can cater for that. It’s all down to if those numbers can be increased.
