Away Toon Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 It's definitely looking likely that no football (or any sport) will be played in front of crowds until a vaccine is ready, worst case scenario being that the end of this season and maybe the whole of next season will be in empty stadium. Not at all sure how that would work and not convinced the football on show would be worth watching. This won't apply to the USA as they will probably just gamble that the extra cases and deaths will be insignificant compared to the money the owners can make.

Ameritoon Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I think it will depends in America on the state, haven’t Florida not already deemed sport as essential and events can take place again. Just wrestling, I think. Either way, sports with fans here will have to start again based on the league and not Trump or the individual states, even if some states are doing better than others. I don't see any of the major leagues here will allow fans until a vaccine is available/the CDC says it's safe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 It just seems like the can is being kicked down the road at the moment with the PL. Doesn’t seem to be a plan or contingency. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. Yimentov Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 If they finish the season of 18 months later, nobody is counting it as a real season, right? I hope fans from up and down the land will remind Liverpool that they didn't really win the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 The idea of playing 90 odd games in a month seems far too ambitious. The thing is that there’s a whole bunch of meaningless mid table games (such as ours) Why not arrange a mini league for the European places and a mini league for the drop? Means less games, less risk and far more achievable. The alternative is cancelling the season and starting the following season at a later point. Touch on Liverpool but that’s life.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I cannot imagine football stadiums being full of fans until a vaccine has been rolled out which could take at least 18 months. Are people going to attend wearing N95 masks until then? Back to normal is a long way off. At least the possibility of an empty stadium for a season could push Mike Ashley to finally selling NUFC.

We have a bye into the last 16 where we play Spurs. If we win that we will play the winner of Man Utd v Liverpool, the possibly Man City or Chelsea.

Wullie Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Think I see a bit of a fatal flaw in that plan. Who's going to buy rights for a stadium that's not being used or attended? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
