Chrysalis Posted 9 March 2020 Posted 9 March 2020 For now games continue as they are, the government are continuing the mantra they think washing your hands is more important than staying away from people. Not really true but I understand the approach, as the moment we go into lockdown things will not be pleasant. I do understand the desire to avoid panic and to maintain positive thinking as long as possible.

I expect the opposite and its the main reason I’m actually coming this evening - I may not get to use my Watford tickets this Saturday !
LinekersLugs Posted 9 March 2020 Posted 9 March 2020 Looks likely all football matches will be played behind closed doors from next weekend Tickets for the FA cup 1/4 finals have already been delayed in being announced owing to the meeting of Cobra today Our team thrives at home on our atmosphere and away from home we pride ourselves on our work rate , closing down and making is hard for teams and as such we often take that home teams crowd often out of the equation so how do we think we will cope with empty stadiums ?

We’ll start winning again.
st albans fox Posted 9 March 2020 Posted 9 March 2020 At least that annoying demotivating crowd groan when they’re trying to be brave and it fails will go ...... that’s a positive
shailen Posted 9 March 2020 Posted 9 March 2020 What does it mean for people that have season tickets or have bought tickets. Will we get a refund?

I was just thinking the same - wishing I had got a ticket for tonight as it’s probably going to be the last chance for a while.
Grebfromgrebland Posted 9 March 2020 Posted 9 March 2020 What if you already have Corona virus can you attend then?
Fosse93 Posted 9 March 2020 Posted 9 March 2020 Is there any chance of it being behind closed doors tonight? Not sure why they'd say "all matches to be played behind closed doors, starting from next weekend".
Sir Shep Posted 9 March 2020 Posted 9 March 2020 Bloody hell threads about this are spreading quicker on this forum than the actual virus itself!
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 9 March 2020 Posted 9 March 2020 Will be completely pointless. It's a cliche but football without fans really is nothing.
CosbehFox Posted 9 March 2020 Posted 9 March 2020 The economic impact for the pubs, restaurants, taxis etc on matchday will be crushing to them.
Plastik Man Posted 9 March 2020 Posted 9 March 2020 The club are sourcing in robots to make use of the clappers.

They have to give some notice you need to give people a few days foresight of a change (unless you are actually introducing a lock down )
Matt_Lcfc Posted 9 March 2020 Posted 9 March 2020 Remember the Croatia V England game in the Nations League behind closed doors? Was hardly worth watching, will be rubbish.

Which is countered by the fact that they'll all receive prompt and thorough medical care, which won't be the case when the health care systems of any heavily-impacted country are overwhelmed and collapse.
Fox92 Posted 9 March 2020 Posted 9 March 2020 Won't happen anyway. But can we wait until something is confirmed.

reynard Posted 9 March 2020 Posted 9 March 2020 8 hours ago, dsr-burnley said: Is there any point banning public gatherings at football if they are going to allow workplaces and shops to stay open? But it is about diminishing percentages. 30 thousand people in a closed environment will have a far higher percentage chance of people being infected than by closing shops. The friendly internationals should be cancelled now. Absolutely no reason for them to go ahead. The government seems desperate to keep things going as they are but only time will tell if that is a complacent attittude or correct. Just now only drastic action seems to stem the virus. The 1918/19 flu pandemic lasted nearly two years there is every chance this may go on for many more months yet.

Guest worth_the_wait Posted 9 March 2020 Posted 9 March 2020 No complaints about people leaving early.
