st albans fox Posted 12 March 2020 Share Posted 12 March 2020 Media are split on whether this ban on large crowds will be before this weekend or after, assuming that the numbers affected by the virus continue to exponentially increase ....

st albans fox Posted 12 March 2020 Share Posted 12 March 2020 The elephant in the room is that within a period of time (a day, a week, a month, a year, two years) .....we will all come into contact with this virus ........ I wonder if the government attempt to keep the line as flat as possible means they are actually ‘encouraging’a certain level of infection rather than trying to stop it spreading completely which would mean an ‘uncontained’ spike at a later period ........ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Claw II Posted 12 March 2020 Share Posted 12 March 2020 As soon as a player or staff member has it, I reckon the season is over for that team and therefore over for PL NBA is suspended now I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahnsouff Posted 12 March 2020 Share Posted 12 March 2020 Was curious why Italy has had such a significant infection rate compared to the rest of Europe (and pretty much anywhere outside of China and the Middle East) Did not know, but seems Italy has the largest number of air travel connections points to China in the whole of Europe. Most flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most flights. Italy suspended flights to and from China when the first two cases of Coronavirus were confirmed in January. Seems the virus had already spread to Lombardy, where the largest grouping of Chinese people reside in Italy, Milan being the most populated.

MonkeyTennis? Posted 12 March 2020 Share Posted 12 March 2020 If the leagues (Prem and Championship) could come to some arrangement with UK TV companies for all games - they are being filmed anyway, and you could have some free to air, some on Sky or BT - I'd be happy. Money means it won't happen, I know, but it would be a good move politically and financially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted 12 March 2020 Share Posted 12 March 2020 Just read that moving Euro 2020 to Euro 2021 is not an option as the 2021 summer schedule is already full due to the Nations League, WC Qualifiers and the new 24-team Club World Cup. I mean, seriously, ditch the Nations League and Club World Cup, then move the one round of WC qualifiers to a later date. It won't happen though, UEFA and FIFA would sooner have a showpiece tournament played with no fans than cancel competitions that no one cares about. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted 12 March 2020 Share Posted 12 March 2020 I suspect this weekends games will be played behind closed doors, but by the time it gets to the weekend after there will be too many squads in quarantine to complete the fixtures. Last thing they need is more teams having games in hand and complicating the early ending of the season even more. Also, if any competition is going to get wiped off, unfortunately for us it will be the FA Cup. Could you imagine though, finally getting to a cup final and then it being played in an empty stadium, with everyone forced to watch it in isolation at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 12 March 2020 Share Posted 12 March 2020 Euro's need to be cancelled, not yet probably but if the situation continues, disappointing but it isn't the end of the world. Don't see the point postponing it and messing up years of football calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
