Looking like there's more than a chance that several of our remaining fixtures will be played behind closed doors.

Anybody checked their season ticket terms and conditions? Would be interesting to see if Trev gives refunds if it happens or he claims force majeure and keeps the money.

I believe that the Government are going to talk about showing games online and on TV. I can't see why League 1 Games on a Friday with Red Button, Prem Games on Saturday and Sunday with Red Button, Same with the Championship and League 2 on a Monday or via Ifollow can't be done. No need for refunds if everyone thats paid is given free access to live coverage.
 
Lower league teams could go bust if they had to play behind closed doors. Unlike the big premier league teams they actually rely on gate recipes to pay wages and run the floodlights etc. Plus they lose the income from food, drink etc.

But do we need a bit of a check here regarding the sensibility and practicality of this
It’s a game played in open air, people sit front to back
I’ve just flown back on a full 787 with recirculating air and people coughing and spluttering and doing what they do, probably from numerous nations.
Are we going to cancel every coach, tube, airplane, train
I am no expert but common sense tells me I’m safer at a football match than say on a London tube ?

Completely agree but I am told the Government are trying to find a way of making a statement/showing the world they are doing something without having a crushing impact on the economy that travel bans and school closures would. Sport is the easy target and I expect big decisions to be made early this week.

Yes, that’s the way I read it too.

As an aside, they keep reiterating the fact that they will keep schools open come what may - to enable parents to keep on working and because the young are generally less impacted by the virus. Have they considered the fact that children are dirty little creatures, on the whole, and although they may not be badly affected they will still be carrying and spreading the virus - probably more so than adults?

Having said that, the number of dirty adults walking out of the loos yesterday without washing was eye popping,
