Positives from delaying the end of the season?
« on: Thursday 19-Mar-2020, 08:58* »
Are there any? Will this give them time to complete the Twickenham station building work? Anything else?

Injured players can have a full and stress reduced rehabilitation.

But maybe it cuts into the rest time between this season and next?

Yep, depends what they decide to do with what's left of this one. I'd like to think the powers that be will be sensible..... Hmmm

how far can you extend the season? The final was meant to be Sat 20th Jun.
Would they extend the season into July? Players contracts typically end 30th June so I doubt it will be extended.

Ugo was making that point on the bbc pod which I'd not thought of before. Kyle for example would normally be a bristol player from june onwards. how do they sort contracts, insurance, salary cap, etc. you'd hope all clubs agree to a common sense approach

This is, to my mind, the most important benefit.

Nice weather and picnics on Twickenham Green before the game.

Market’s suspension would be over sooner if season extended?

Probably Marler but spell checker corrected to market. Proof reading required.

One longer term benefit is that when they build the new Stadium, there's be more sinks/soap/handdryers in the loos!
