manina-pub Posted 2 March, 2020 Share Posted 2 March, 2020 Ramped up measures being announced in coming days with the cancellation of mass public gatherings being one outcome.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 2 March, 2020 Share Posted 2 March, 2020 I’d have thought they might be played behind closed doors, possibly with some sort of TV or streaming option offered. It’s going to be a logistical nightmare to have mass cancellations, not knowing what league everyone is in next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 3 March, 2020 Share Posted 3 March, 2020 I doubt Premier League matches would be cancelled. Matches would be played behind closed doors... A source close to the discussions said there the Premier League would be willing to screen matches played in front of empty stands if it enabled the season to be completed. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/03/02/premier-league-efl-fa-hold-talks-games-behind-closed-doors-amid/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 3 March, 2020 Share Posted 3 March, 2020 I can see this happening if there’s a sudden surge in cases in the UK , they want to limit people travelling and limit large gatherings to stop the spread so football matches an obvious candidate, will be surreal if it happens but games go ahead behind closed doors, would be interesting to see if clubs would reimburse season ticket holders.

doddisalegend Posted 3 March, 2020 Share Posted 3 March, 2020 I assume, given recent comments by Ralph, our home form would take a big up turn if the players could play in a empty stadium... Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the lower leagues also get cancelled it would probably be quite funny watching Pompey have to suffer another season in league 1. Norwich would be the luckiest ****s in world football. Can't see it happening the fallout for football in England would be huge. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 3 March, 2020 Share Posted 3 March, 2020 Not there yet 'though, these are worst case scenarios and whilst there is a lot of unknowns surrounding this virus there is also hope in that it has not spread out all over the place far more quickly. Even in China, Japan & South Korea their capital cities have not been decimated by the virus as one might have expected by now so containment measures appear to be working and these lessons can be learned. For now it is up to individuals to make their own reasoned choices. Whilst there are no confirmed cases locally that is not to say there are no carriers. At least if you go to St Mary's it will be in the open air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted 3 March, 2020 Share Posted 3 March, 2020 Oh dear me! A few bitter & miserable buggers on here wanting to deprive Liverpool from deservedly winning the title.

Await the next one ‘Coronaviris what’s it mean for Saints?’ Are all the old buggers giving Saturday a miss?l Nope I’m there - I’ve had my head in the mouth of the dragon a few times since this blew up - samples from China coming into the office then taken up to the NEC - then going to a huge trade show in Frankfurt which much of the world descends on. One hall top two floors predominantly Chinese makers - some stands un occupied - including some suppliers. But then Terminal 5 was quiet when we flew out, the show was quiet not the usual buzz, the top two global sourcing floors very quiet. One of our suppliers nice folk good fun, cleared her throat as she was talking I jokingly stepped back, she looked a bit upset so I gave her a hug - 3 weeks have passed since nothing. Cards will be dealt you will just have to roll with it and fight it off. I have another friend and supplier in Guangzhou, she is climbing the walls just wanting to get out and get on with her life, she is working but continuous monitoring of temps is getting monotonous.

World governments and the WHO are saying this is extremely serious and large numbers of people are likely to be infected and die. Do you have evidence to counter them? the chief medical office live on Tv said the reasonable worst case scenario is that 80% of people in the uk could be infected and 1% will die but hopefully it will be much lower. This guy isn’t media or a politician. When are people going to wake up and realise this is serious and isn’t just flu or scaremongering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
