Let alone what it must be like playing in an empty ground. Remember the england croatia game, it was odd for sure. No atmosphere does take away from the feel, felt like a training session Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They train every day with very little spotlight and public presence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole first teams squad and u 23's use the same training facilities. Possible everyone at the club has it. Then ditto...All friends,family,and last 2 games teams, Plus their staff.

But the point is, if those players are having to self isolate and stay away, they won't be part of training nor the match day prep, so it's going to put teams at a disadvantage.

Exactly, plus you can go up to 5 days without showing signs of the virus apparently. So the likelihood of the whole squad having it is surely nailed on.

polarbear Posted 12 March 2020 Share Posted 12 March 2020 The other thing that hadn't been mentioned is the utilization of emergency services at football matches. Those paramedics and police could be beyyer utilized over the next few weeks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinkenzo Posted 12 March 2020 Share Posted 12 March 2020 Is there a major flaw in the idea (domestically atleast) that we suspend the league and all fixtures that should have been played during the suspension are just forgotten about and never played? I obviously understand revenue for smaller clubs will be an issue but there's nothing you can do about that really without some sort of payment from the FA/EFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hejammy Posted 12 March 2020 Share Posted 12 March 2020 How about the bottom 3 in the prem play the top 3 of the championship, (i.e bottom play top, 2nd play second from bottom etc) winners stay in prem losers championship. Would be quite good as a neutral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pliskin Posted 12 March 2020 Share Posted 12 March 2020 Problem I have with all this is, this could ruin our season... let’s just say worst case scenario most of our players end up in isolation... and then no other teams suffer the same fate, what happens then??

Honestly though that won't happen, I think there's a very good chance the PL gets suspended entirely within the next couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxford blue Posted 12 March 2020 Share Posted 12 March 2020 9 hours ago, Ricey said: 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. Mirror reporting the opposite: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/coronavirus-crisis-causes-uefa-delay-21682513 As the Mirror has this story, quite possibly guesswork, but it does make sense particularly as Euros are to be played across many countries. Leaving the summer free of a major international championship would allow domestic leagues to catch up on postponed games which is important for their integrity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
