It looks like a 12 September start date is being considered. So we'd have 6-7 weeks to plan once we finish this season next week.

There will be a 10 week transfer window running until October, with an extended period for domestic only deals.

Plus those new players will then have to adapt to their new team's attributes.

It seems they will be continuing with 5 subs too for next season, which I really don't agree with. It favours big teams who can change a game with half a billion pound worth of talent off the bench.

Hopefully drinks breaks are a thing of the past at the very least.

No word yet on whether fans will be allowed. I personally would not start next season unless some real fans are allowed to attend. I understand why they finished this season for continuity, but starting next season with no fans shouldn't happen.

I agree while it will save on injuries for small teams 5 seems to many and an advantage to the larger teams. If they wanted to increase it I think they should have gone to 4.

I'm not sure I agree with you about the fans, what else could they do? Not have the season at all? If they look to start later in the year or in Jan/Feb I don't think we are going to be in a better place than now with no vaccinations looking likely until the middle of next year...

There is definitely no right or wrong answer in this debate.

Personally I've just not enjoyed the matches without fans; QPR and Premier League.

I know what you mean if we hold off next season we could be holding off for a long time and where do we draw the line and end up staying anyway. Hopefully they can allow home fans (registered fans and members etc to prevent away fans buying tickets) at least some at a distance with staggered exit times after matches. Maybe don't have away fans next season to prevent large groups traveling from area to area risking the spread?
Lots to consider!

Very important to ensure that crowd safety comes first but watching games without fans and some atmosphere is awful.

Apart from Lumley I find the QPR players and management team to be very quiet. We need to start next season in a more positive fashion than the way we are finishing the current season.

Safety does come first of course. Clubs could allow restricted numbers with fans sat apart. Then by only allowing registered fans to buy tickets in advance they could know where everybody is sat so if somebody reported back a positive test they could trace those who were sat nearby. There are lots of options, it will just be a case of choosing the right ones.

I guess the issue is more about toilets, fans all going to queue at half time etc. Watching the watch and spreading fans out in the ground is probably the easy part.

In regards to the noise from the team/ management Did you hear Flo Loydd Hughes on the podcast? She she was at the game against Luton and said the same thing, she really noticed the difference between us and Luton.

I have just listened to the podcast and her comment that she walked past a converted toilet block and could hear the QPR players talking in the shower after the game was quite amusing.

She didn't elaborate on what they saying but I bet some of the wits on this site can come up with a funny line or two!

I was trying to work out how they could have a rotating batch of season ticket holders at least attend, occupying seats 2 apart, but the problem is indeed getting to/from the seating and the 'comfort' breaks... Surely it must be worth it though to have real supporters involved in games?

In what numbers and how it will work remains a big question mark. I hope that all goes to plan and we only have the first few matches of next season behind closed doors.

I do not get to as many games as I want, but I really do miss the buzz as we approach kick-off (and you can almost hear the praying)!
