Stagtime Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 There is talk over here of playing all NRL games in a disused mining complex (Calliope) in Central Queensland. They have accommodation for 1500 people ready to go and have played a NRL game there last year so the field is up to spec. Could be a interesting option. We have started playing games to a empty stadium which is a bit weird but so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I cannot imagine Liverpool supporters staying at home individually and watch their team conclude their league campaign (and presumably win the title) on tv. Seems fraught with trouble. They're going to have to wait until it's safe enough for crowds to gather together before they resume imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i would imagine the EFL will want the season concluded to avoid any possible legal repercussions from teams or TV contract issues rather than whether fans can attend or not. The possibility of fans being able to attend will come way down the pecking order in the complexities of getting the season restarted asap especially if there is a possible government order banning mass gatherings still in place when the EFL/teams agree it is safe for the season to restart with certain restrictions in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's mid June. Over the worst doesn't necessarily mean "back to normal ". I think at best it might mean the beginning of the end of strict measures, rather than the end of the outbreak itself. Bojo the clown trying his best to be optimistic with his 12 weeks comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram59 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 They're saying today that social distancing will last for another 6 months. That will mean no crowds at football matches in that period. I see the season finishing behind closed doors, in 3 or 4 months time, at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Rooney in his weekly column in Sunday Times talks about his routine at home and players due in on April 6 for mini pre-season. He seems to think keeping players away from training ground is the right thing to do as opposed to training together which seems to be the approach taken by some clubs. Date set for leagues restarting apparently is April 30th so they have to prepare for that. Me thinks this is going it might be a bit of a challenge especially with the new lockdown rules Bojo announced on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Stopping team training and having players keep fit individually is definitely the right thing to do under current circumstances - in fact, with the rules about staying at home, you’d think it’s the only option. I still very much doubt that the league is going to resume any time soon though - and certainly not at the start of May. Personally I think we’ll end up having a pre season in September, ready for the league to resume in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remy the hare Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I think it will be very brave, insensitive and non PC for any league to starts within the next 3 months. The Football season not being finished is a minor issue in the grand scheme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Not sure if it has been mentioned anyway else on here, but all non-league teams have allegedly had their seasons stopped, no promotion, no relegation. Surely if that happens in non-league, the whole of football should follow suit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
