If football is going to be affected for a long period of time I really feel they should be considering a complete restructure from maybe l1 to conference level to give clubs light at the end of a very long tunnel and a potential financial incentive to keep going. It just doesn’t make sense to me to have clubs like Dover taking 10 fans away to Fylde etc. The EFL trophy is a pain to most clubs and a financial liability so scrap that. Why not regionalise the lower leagues maybe 18-20 sides which then splits into a promotion and relegation league at the end of the season with 9-10 sides. I personally could see myself doing 18 local away games where every game counts rather than a Tuesday away to Carlisle. How many are going to have time and money for that. Needs a lot of planning but if it’s ever going to be done, now seems like the time.
I believe post war attendances rocketed so we might see similar situation where things kinda look after themselves. Another way could be that the football authorities get better (.e. more financial input) for sponsorship and distribute this more evenly down to the lower leagues. The other things some of the bigger clubs could do as im sure we will need a couple of weeks of friendlies before the season re-starts anyway is take full strength sides to lower league teams. If say we re-start/start season and had a few home games against Liverpool (full strength) and Watford (full strength) and Brighton (full strength) just as three examples we would pack the Broadfield stadium price it sensibly and its a real winner and much needed revenue for the club. Bigger clubs that arguably can take the hit economically need to help other clubs out.

Those instances above are a concern. It's also the case that police in some areas have been making up their own laws by sending people home who are legally travelling to work under the government's exemptions. There has been widespread misunderstanding that such work must be "essential" or "key" work. This is not the case. The only stipulation is that the work cannot be carried out from home. For instance, a lone outdoor worker who changes work method to avoid contact with customers and follows social distancing rules and has a hygiene protocol. www.gov.uk/coronavirus?fbclid=IwAR1NHb-h0zR3Vs_h1TBw2dSlIlrTt7UxqtCb7ygkdUESzqKOCCW2y68ibXc

and what is regarded as essential is subjective. I heard on the radio 5 live phone in someone ask is tending to an allotment ok. Reply no its no essential. But if person keeps social distance is going out for essential food supplies and cant afford hyped up prices or to 'throw away' food grown and 're-buy'it in the snaking supermarket queue it might well be essential. Although it might be considered cruel killing two birds with one stone by also walking (daily allowed exercise) to the allotment.

In an ideal world yes, however the difficulty is many people lack any common sense and judgement so everything has to be rule based.

Due to the timing of this epidemic with my personal finances, I could easily become homeless later this summer. Therefore I am continuing to work (legally under current rules) as a way of, hopefully, preventing this. If I am to catch this virus, I hope it happens while I still have shelter otherwise it could kill me. I love football but, to be quite blunt about it, a few football matches are the least of my concerns right now. Health, avoiding homelessness, and earning are a priority. I have made big changes to my way of working in order to maintain distancing and increase hygiene.

I acknowledge that my work isn't essential to society as a whole, but it's not possible to carry it out from home. It is possible to carry it out safely though by minor tweaks to my working methods. I work on the outsides of people's houses. I wash my hands upon arrival. I carry out the work. I wash my hands again and leave the bill through the letter box. I no longer do inside work or knock for payment, nor do I accept offers of cups of tea. I keep a minimum of 2m away from people. Indeed, I reckon the closest I've been to anyone in the past 10 days is 3m. Effectively, I'm creating a viral seal between myself and customers (and the rest of the human race.
I think humanity will have to evolve to have longer arms and men will need longer bits to keep the human race going

To be honest that seems logical to me. If you can work without placing others at risk and minimising your own risks then that is a judgement call.
