The EFL have announced they've arranged a £117.5m loan to help Championship clubs in the Covid crisis - about £4.9m per club if divided out equally.
Also, crowds of up to 10,000 or 25% of a stadium's capacity, whichever is lower, could be allowed back in April, if trials go well.
So, a little bit of good/promising news and, potentially, light at the end of the tunnel...

Sorry to bring you down but the trials are in April. No crowds until May 17th at the earliest, which is too late for us (playoff final excepted!). [Post edited 31 Mar 2021 13:33]

Hopefully good for next season though.
Has anyone had an email from the club about having to start paying £10 to watch the matches as their season ticket money has run out?Or is it just a rumour? | | | |

Yeah I got one asking me to send the £10 each week to Prince Ngbakoko in Lagos. Apparently I get a new kitchen at the end of the season though. | | | |

That is possible if you have one of the cheaper tickets, the club did say that was a possibility back in September |  | | |

Not sure spreading the loan out equally is the right thing to do.
By my reckoning the are 8 clubs receiving between 15 and 40m in parachute payments this season (Huddersfield, Cardiff, Swansalona, Sjoke, Fools, Norwich, Twátford and Bournemouth.
If you exclude these 8, the 117.5m could be shared between the remaining 16 giving each club roughly an extra 2.4m which could make a massive difference to some. |  | | |

My alarm bells go off when the EFL do anything.
In this case, who is loan from, what are the conditions attached to it, what are the repayment terms?
If its from the Prem and we have given up things of greater intrinsic value and further rigged the system against the EFL in the medium to long term, it may not be worth the price. Equally if the interest rate is ABC Loans level, it may also not be worth it. |  |

I heard that if you had a season ticket that was £239 or less,it would cost more,but mine was £279,so I’m not there yet. | | | |

But here’s the rub - the EFL have borrowed the £117.5m from Derby County. Derby have offset the loan against their accounts thus avoiding any FFP sanctions. And we’re getting a points deduction. |  | | |
