For once Des and Ginge are on the same page.
Didn't Ginge just call him an idiot?

[Ginge]

Not quite, he cant ignore government regs surrounding all this if he agrees with them or not, even I am not that stupid. On that basis yes, he is an idiot.

They might want to decide whether it's terminated or merely suspended.

[nikkiboy]

Well done Des, no need to explain what happened to the prize money now.

[Ginge]

They might want to decide whether it's terminated or merely suspended.

The ramifications! Legal action by counties because they dont get promoted!

Or maybe not.

[BlueSpark]

When did Robert MacDonald get elected?

Although Ronald McDonald may do a better job

[devosteve]

They might want to decide whether it's terminated or merely suspended.

Correct.

Any sensible person would suspend the season with a view to terminate it. Not outright termination.

They don't know what they are doing imo.
