      “It’s a big problem to solve which goes much further than just the PL and there are far far bigger problems ahead with this Corona Virus which is going to cost people their lives and you wonder whether we shouldn’t be shutting our boarders and parking all Sport alongside , Theatre’s, Cinemas, Sports Centres and Swimming Pools etc etc sooner rather than later”

      Linekar just retweeted something about the fact Atletico fans are not allowed to watch their team in their own stadium but there’s a few thousand in Liverpool today for the game. Same will apply next week with City.

      Regarding a specific date for when the league must end I’m not convinced by that, and there’s a lot of suggestions that the Euro’s be delayed to give leagues time to finish in the summer.

      Edit: we are now getting Italian teams being refused entry for Euro competitions and other nations teams refusing to travel to Italy. Won’t be long before France, Spain and Germany is as affected.

        threeps, “Linekar just retweeted something about the fact Atletico fans are not allowed to watch their team in their own stadium but there’s a few thousand in Liverpool today for the game.

        I think there’s every chance the Euros will be cancelled altogether or postponed until a later date anyway. If it’s not safe to play the Euros it won’t be safe to play the Domestic Leagues.

        Every day is a new day with this but if they are talking about postponing the Olympics for two years nothing is impossible.

        Personally I would hate to see Football stopped but I think it should be alongside everything else anything that adds to the potential of the Corona Virus spreading faster and further needs to be stopped now imo and without this thing begins to fade then countries will begin to shut their borders across the whole of Europe and further afield too.

              Public health has to become before sporting events…it is a no brainer to me. I do not want to see Football stopped but if that what it takes to help stop the spread and deaths…get it done now. I was really surprised they let Cheltenham go ahead but then I think the betting industry had a good lobby!!! I would also cancel the Euro’s now I am no expert but I would have thought a six month stop on all gatherings should be of significant help, in the meantime I hope they find an answer

                102 years ago we had the Spanish Flu, which killed between 20 to 50 million people, it’s believed it started in the USA late in 1917 and ran until the end of 1918 and was spread around Europe by American troops towards the end of WWI, oddly the least affected country was China, possibly because they’d suffered an outbreak of a milder strain of the same flu previously and so had built up immunity.

                Thankfully we now have a better health care and medical knowledge, so although it may spread easily hopefully the mortality rate will be vastly less.

                Not trying to be morbid, just putting into context how unimportant sports and entertainment are in comparison to the current situation…..Pagan

                  What concerns me Pagan is the emphasis is on the elderly, which I qualify approaching my 86th and with “underlying health problems” Think positive and do the sensible things is my agenda

                    There is every chance of PL players refusing to come out on the pitch and play.

                          To be honest I can think of better things to be named after me than a virus?

                          Yep that’s probably the Italian league gone, the CL and the Euros.

                          Only a matter of time until other countries have to face the same decision, and in all fairness their is only one choice…..Pagan

                              Bundesliga likely to be scrapped from next week. Decision today from the UK Government on the he closure of grounds but is that enough look what happened at PSG last night with thousands of fans outside the Stadium.

                                Everything should be shutdown now. Are we not Learning from Italy’s mistakes?

                                Act now.

                                  Agree with you Sean.

                                  Behind closed doors football looks like being sanctioned by the UK Government today but is that the answer when you look at the thousands of fans outside PSG’s ground last night?

                                  Imagine how many thousands of Liverpool fans would be outside the ground on the day the title is finally confirmed.

                                  I just can’t help thinking that Corona Virus is such a massive problem now that we have to take the most extreme measures. Allegedly the Bundesliga is likely to be scrapped which seems the most sensible decision to me people’s lives are much more important than football.

                                    9, behind closed doors won’t really work as many who don’t have access to tv feeds at home will go down pub to watch, which defeats the object…..Pagan

                                        Sadly it is time to avoid large gatherings.
                                        The season will just drift and peter out. It could well be there is no finish to the season.
                                        Playing behind close doors is no use. The odd game maybe but thats it.

                                          Genuinely can’t fathom watching my team play in an empty stadium. Adlab, could you let us know what it’s like? ?

                                          Joking aside, really not looking forward to the fact it could all be behind closed doors soon but rather that than finish the season early. However, if that’s deemed the only safe thing to do, then so be it
