We know this already, the question was how do they differ from the Premiership?

If they can play on, why can't we?

By not having a winter break. All the Premiership clubs are voting on is moving the date of the winter break. There's an already existing window where the Premiership sides have no fixtures scheduled. That isn't the same for Championship sides and increases the number of games that would need rearranged. For many of the clubs in L2, a limit of 500 fans will have no impact at all on their attendances which in turn won't impact their finances.

All we’re potentially doing is making the winter break earlier, the lower divisions don’t have a break so nothing to bring forward. 
it is daft though if it gets brought forward, that’s them trying to show how worried they are about covid but you’re right to ask how those divisions can continue playing if there’s such a concern about the virus 

[Bad Robot 21,513]

So they want to bring the break forward which means they want to return right in the middle of the peak.

They wanted the points tonight as they think the whole season might be up in the air

Clubs don't want to play games without being able to monetise it/something making up the huge shortfall no fans in games would cause.

They want the points tonight as St Mirren would have a full squad back, the season is not up in the air.

At this rate, I'll be surprised if fans are back in three months.

Nope.

[CoplandRoad83 3,613]

Ach well, if we don't get back in the stadium for a while at least we left on a high note: watching us huff and puff our way to a 1-0 against Dundee Utd, watching Hagi rabona it straight out the park for a laugh.

I couldn't give a fuck about that situation at this moment in time, it's the notion that we may have to play these games with players away whilst there injury woes could well be alleviating....that doesn't sit right with me.....especially if Helander isn't ready by then....Goldson could be suspended and we could be forced to play Simpson & King....all ifs and buts but at this current time we don't have any issues

Anybody that eats any colour of crayon other than Blue is a disgrace imo.

On a completely unrelated topic but to hopefully make everyone feel a bit better Craig Whyte has been arrested and is potentially facing 2 years in prison

What’s this for?

But the break is about 8 days away. Why the fuck would you want to bring that forward? Nothing is changing come January 17th. We will not go to full stadiums, then again some clubs will be back at almost full strength.

If this is pulled and St Mirren are forced to play tonight and Sunday it's a disgrace 

It will be pulled I reckon and it is a disgrace but no one will bat an eyelid, just look at the Dundee vote fiasco.
