Sparkle Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Whilst I wouldn’t want any football played while hundreds of people are dying every day if the money people forced the premiership and championship clubs to play ‘behind closed doors’ I wouldn’t be actually interested in watching the game by a tv package or live streaming as professional sport should be played in front of live audiences, it would be boring. My preference is for this season the be abandoned and especially as a mark of respect to the many who have passed away and will pass away because this virus has gone nowhere.

Dimmu Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Fc Midtjylland, one of the bigger teams in Denmark, is planning to turn their main car park as a huge open-air theatre to show the games. It's next to stadium and have room for a 2000 cars. Interesting idea and could suit them well as their stadium's capacity is about 11k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could work... not sure we could be trusted to stay in our cars over here though, when that last minute winner goes in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't work in England. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramsbottom Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 If the season was to re-open behind closed doors, how do clubs monitor and maintain that players, officials & staff are virus free?? Only one way, testing. If the government & NHS can't maintain a coherent testing process how will football clubs do so?? You'd have to test everyone involved in a match day immediately after each game, where would you get the kits from?? And doesn't it look pretty bad that football clubs can readily test their staff, whereas front line staff have to beg for it? I know they've been trying to keep up a brave face through all this, but as the days pass, it's looking more & more likely that we won't see live football for a very long time...

Article in the Times goes through some of the measures in the 41 pages guidebook. Very detailed, very impressive they've done their homework, in short very German. However, there is no mention about what something quite important, protecting the players during the 90 odd minutes the match is taking place. Everyting else seems covered, pre and post match to be fair but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I just can't see this season finishing. I think the fairest way would be to look at the season after 23 games when everyone had played each other once. I especially think it would be fair because that would leave Forest in 7th place.

Some teams could... in theory, have played all the lower half teams away, and the upper half teams at home, effectively gaining an advantage over another team that has played the top half teams away, and the lower half at home. I agree with Roy, finish the season as per the rules agreed at the start, or void the season. In my opinion, the only fair way to change the rules part way through the season is if every single team agrees to that change. I doubt they could ever come up with a mutually acceptable/agreeable plan for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not sure the home/away effect is totally fair, but... and it is a massive but... I do like your final outcome, so I'm not totally against your idea! Sod it... let's do it! ?

Van der MoodHoover Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Spain apparently set to allow individual training from May 4th for primera liga clubs. A bit surprised as they were hit worse than Germany, but I don't know what the Spanish testing capability is now. The other country especially badly hit was italy - what is the latest on their thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammieib Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I see Ageuro has said the players are scared to play. I probably get that, but I bet he isnt scared taking home 250k a week to not do his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
