Whatever position we were in I'd want the season voided - recent events are far bigger than football. It's all become a bit meaningless.
Agree completely that recent events are far bigger than football but if we were in Leeds' position, 7 points clear of 3rd knowing that if another ball wasn't kicked we'd be in the premier league next year with £100m+ coming our way (hopefully not Southall's way obviously) then i'm sure yes we'd want the season voided.
But 3rd from bottom knowing that we'll be in league one next year then me personally no i don't want it voided and we need to hope it's safe enough to play on.
Better still though would be if Derby get deducted 13 points or Sheffield Wednesday get deducted 10, then the season is voided and then we're safe.

The season should be void if it cant be completed and promotions/relegations scrapped. I'd feel the same regardless of our existing position.
There has to be some integrity re a meaningful conclusion. This is simply a bodge.
Not sure if this has been mentioned earlier, but whilst I was in a shop this morning, it stated on the radio that when the championship starts again , note not if...it will cost each club between 200k and 250k for testing.
Just wrote to the EFL and highlighted the need to sort out derby/sheff w and brum before they throw the word Integrity out there! Chumps of the first order!
Void isn’t an option. You can’t have teams who (in some cases) are dead and buried squirming out of relegation.
Next season is gonna be compromised already so just finish this one whenever is safe to do so.
Speaking honestly when we consider all going on at the club and how we were playing before the break, there’s every chance we are heading down, but at least it’s on the pitch.
Who is dead and buried in the Championship?
Thinking more Norwich in the Prem... I assume we are mirroring their rules.
Clubs have climbed out of worse positions than the one faced by Norwich at the moment.
As a side informal issue. And I get it is two unrelated things. If we are due a points deduction, then it should be voided if were relegated in this way as some kind of clumsy form of compensation.
Imagine the season starts and we beat Hull. Suddenly Hull will want the season to continue and we will want it to stop. You can not have this state of affairs as it will always prevent a fair decision.
The only team in the Championship that is lucky that this pandemic has happened is the team we was meant to be playing next, HULL. Since they lost Bowen and Grosicki, they have been terrible and deserve to be on their way down to League 1. We would of beaten them as well. Whatever happens I will be there when it all gets back to normal, even if we are in League 1 with a -12 point difference and a full of youngsters in our first 11.
Vote to end season Leeds West Brom Brentford Forest Preston Reading Wednesday Birmingham Stoke Huddersfield Middlesbrough Wigan Hull
Vote to contine Fulham Bristol City Millwall Cardiff Blackburn Swansea Derby QPR Charlton Luton Barnsley
That makes it 13-11 to ending the season now
The 3 mid table teams are playing for nothing, so why pay money for testig.
Brentford are not chasing the top 3 so may as well settle for play offs
Why would Sheffield Wednesday vote to the end the season?
With a hefty points deduction hanging over them (if it ever gets sorted) wouldn't they want to play on and ensure they finish a good 15-20 points clear of the bottom 3?
If the season ends and their deduction is 10 or more then they're relegated.
I might be getting mixed-up, and I can't find it again, but I think I read somewhere that Gary Monk wants to play on; although feelings might differ greatly between the dugout and the board.

Agreed. You will have to play every game as a cup final as it could be the last of the season.

Lets not let time view things in rose tinted glasses. We were utter turd for months. We are currently in the bottom 3 cos that where we deserve to be. Things were grim before Covid and off pitch are now arguably even grimmer.

I saw us a Wednesday and Huddersfield and in those showings we were unlikely to win any more games. To think Huddersfield were below us when we played them is just rediculous. They were like a top three side. In fact premier League side. Hard to believe they had been so terrible all season. How ever bad the run teams seem to have been on before lockdown, the all (pretty much) managed to win against Charlton.
I was very much of the opinion that there was no way the season could restart. Now let’s hope it does and we can battle out of this. I could see a scenario when after a couple of games there’s a spike, R goes over 1, and football is shut down again. So let’s hope we beat Hull.
