Many are on holiday now, while some are busting a gut to hold it all together.
Holiday is a state of mind, wherever you are.

Oh don’t get me wrong. I want to go nowhere and am not missing a holiday at all in the scheme of things. Just explaining it a child that life is different now.

Kids will struggle to understand this as they do t have enough experience of the world to see consequences (there are adults in this category too!).
In a way it's a measure of what good life they've enjoyed so far, if they're missing out. Elsewhere on the planet.....

I will renew my two season tickets for 20/21 but I will not going to Goodison until some sort of "all clear" is given. My two lads can go instead as and when they can. I imagine there will be loads of older fans who will not wish to be crammed into a stadium at serious risk of catching the virus. I missed about 6+ consecutive games last year due to ill health so if that happens again, let it be.

Not me mate, I have sorted my season ticket and will be there at the first game, be it finishing off this season or starting the next. I am fortunate in that I have no underlying conditions though, so I would fully understand others wishing to play it safe.

How Everton crowds are set to reach record high at new stadium
An examination of Everton's attendances and how they can reach record highs at Bramley-Moore Dock
It will all depend on a vaccine or not .Once they have (If they do ever) a workable vaccine then the risk will reduce enough to let the majority return with little risk ,of course they may never be a cure but it may become tolerable with medicine as the common cold is .
On the holiday comments ,when I was forced to retire 8 years ago my income was 100€ a month as The UK wouldn't accept I couldn't work and the Finnish system wouldn't help because the UK didn't !
Anyway it meant although we could manage due to my wife working we could not afford holidays ,so whatever my wife was cooking that night when we went cross-country skiing or Nordic stick walking we would imagine that we were in that country .In the summer I put 5 pieces of drain pipe into the lawn ,got a few clubs from the second hand shops and painted flags not numbers so we could travel the world and come back home to the Finnish flag .
Surprisingly it worked , at least for us ,after all once they are over a holiday is all in the mind really .

As much as I hope that the shrinking is more of an equalising of the football structure and the bubble deflates to bring the top level back to being in touch with the average person in the street I am not so sure it will.

Probably not. The brands will remain with their tv money, the local community based clubs will die off, but hopefully will be replaced by other smaller clubs coming through. They'll remain small though, because people in Norway are never going to pay to watch Havant and Waterlooville.
IF, when, if they they re-start there will be an initial full house(s) but due to hard times will taper off

Not having a go mate but I think loads of us always knew who the essential workers were in society, it wasn’t footballers, show business personalities, pop stars all overpaid along with mp’s and members of lords who just compare with underpaid members of TNH service from the doctors, surgeons, nurses cleaners, porters etc come second best in every way.
