Checked out ESPN like you said and got the below link:ESPN, Sky Sports... the major broadcasters who get first hand information as they pay the big bucks? Just like Channel 9 and Fox get the first insight into any news with NRL. That’s number 1.
Number 2. Now that they have a vision, they have a meeting on Friday to discuss this with the stakeholders (the actual clubs). If in agreement (with whatever is proposed), then I guess it’s the next step, whatever that is (training arrangements, games, stadiums etc etc).
I won’t be writing essays in each post to make sure others don’t take it the wrong way. If they want to throw in garbage, I throw it right back. I never started the garbage. If you think so, then good for you. Just saying too

You had a sly dig at me for giving the DailyFail article saying it's just clickbait. Asking about official statements. Remember that?
You've just giving a link to an article that states "with sources telling ESPN that clubs in the EFL are working towards June 6 as a date for the return of competitive action". No official statement. Nothing. Just sources tell them. And this is what you're basing this on?
The official statement on this, which I supplied earlier, simply said what I said. No training at the middle of May, and they'll see what happens in the future. The meeting this Friday is indeed to talk about football related matters, but no date has been decided on as of yet. Looking at the current situation it'll be interesting to see whether the EPL does come out with an exact date.
So ... the BIG statement you've made is based on clickbait articles with NO official statement. You've slagged off me for providing apparent clickbait articles. But at the very least I've give the last OFFICIAL statement on this matter.
Get that you're trying to make a point on this. Fine. Just stop being a hypocrite with the way you're talking to Basil and others who've only asked you to further back up your points. And I can see why they have as when you do it's easy to see there're holes all through your story (see above).
Btw. I couldn't find anything on Sky Sports saying that's the return date, and I read them all the time. That's where I got the official statement from though ...
A further point ... no where in that article does it state that the EPL is starting with the dates you said. Just the EFL .... so ....
