Morning all hope your all well.

It looks as though my local club, Swindon are going to be promoted. The chatter down here is that the league is now done and dusted and they will be placed on a pionts per game basis.

Dont know if its true and does not have any effect on LFC or the Premier League. At least there is a conclusion.

Eds, do you know if a, its true and b, will the premier league take any notice.

Going for a long walk now. Found a pub that i can buy a take away pint.

{Ed002's Note - (a) There is no firm agreement at this time but I very much suspect it will not be viable to restart League 1 or League 2. The clubs need to vote and I would think by next weekend that the decision will be made. (b) The issue of promotion is far more complex as it needs negotiation with the leagues above and really should be part of a larger agreement on how seasons should end if they need to do so. My preference would be for promotion of two sides through the leagues and no relegation - three PL sides have raised questions over the concept and one PL side is so vigorously that they have effectively issued threats against other sides. The advantage League 1 and League 2 have is negotiating with the EFL might be possible.}

And if these teams was to be promoted Ed would the teams in 1st place be declared as Champions or just straight promotions.

{Ed002's Note - Nobody is discussing such matters.}

White evangelicals are not the only ones voting trump. I do realize that’s not technically what you said Ed002. They definitely got him over the line though, just as the African American population got Obama over (and failed to turn up for Hilary) . Love him or hate him, trump has definitely shone a light on a lot of things that needed exposing, even if he is as dirty as the rest of washington.

And the Midwest is behind in a lot of ways, but the more urbanized regions leave much more to be desired with extensive homeless populations, crime/ gangs, cost of living. I much prefer rural living.

Hope you’re well Ed002. I am surprised rodeos weren’t considered essential business. Florida kept wrestling events open after all. No love for the adventurers like yourself I suppose.
