Village team basically, nothing to do anywhere near the ground and barely any home fans. Plus like you say Kramaric would probably get a hat trick. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The German away trips don't look that inspiring tbh. Hoffenheim, Leverkusen and Wolfsburg are all a bit...meh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 3 August 2020 Share Posted 3 August 2020 Think most, if not all, of us thought Club Brugge may be joining us in Europa League next season. They played in the Belgian Cup final at the weekend. Brugge had won the competition 11 times in their history. Up against Antwerp, who had last been in a final way back in 1992. Antwerp won 1-0! So if anyone wants to plan a diamond heist, might want to wish we're drawn in their group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they wont be rushing to accept other Covid fans, too soon.... Unlike flu & Cold viruses that came & went in the past....Northern European countries on Covid issues wont rush in accepting Football tourists... Plus I wonder how many European clubs will want to travel with their teams....Euefa will Not have fans in Stadiums before 2021...

Popular Post RonnieTodger Posted 4 August 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 4 August 2020 I'm over us bottling the top 4 now to be honest. The likelihood is that we won't be able to go to the games until the new year and we wouldn't have made it out of the Champions League groups anyway. What good is it drawing Real Madrid or Bayern Munich when you'd have to watch it on TV behind closed doors? There's a good chance that we make it to the knockout stages of the Europa League and by February we'll hopefully be allowed to go to games home and away. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosbehFox Posted 4 August 2020 Share Posted 4 August 2020 (edited) Becoming increasingly apparent in Germany (who’ve lead the way in managing Covid) are going to recommend no fans starting their season. Original plan was for 30% but the recent increases have put them on their back foot. Unknown if regional leagues will still have supporters. I think that’s a hammer blow for spectators at football in 2020 Edited 4 August 2020 by Cardiff_Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s a hammer blow for spectators at football in 2020 The guidelines agreed between the German FA and the clubs are that: - No away fans in 2020 - No standing/terraces until 31/10/2020 - No alcohol until 31/10/2020 - Track and trace However, it still needs to be approved by the government. Also, those dates could change at any time and be extended, I guess those are minimum based on current circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me laugh that Germany have gone from alcohol at your seat to no alcohol at all, whereas apparently over here we going to now allow alcohol at your seat. I would just ban alcohol and hot food in the stadium for the time being and encourage people to eat outside the stadium before and after, where social distancing is easier.. The less time people are in the concourse the better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
