Germans appear to be practically immune to the virus.
Very weird.

We can see our own lockdown, with folk out sunbathing, having picnics, visiting their second homes...
Closed door games would be a bust for the same reason, too many morons can’t be trusted, who would turn up in big crowds outside the stadiums. For that reason, football will be delayed further, because even once it may be safe to play, they’ll need to wait for, best case, the emergency services to have the spare capacity to keep idiots away from the stadium, or wait for normal conditions to resume completely.

If the game was being shown live online (the relaxing of the 3pm rule) - surely people wouldn't still want to stand and look at the back of famous five stand instead?

I’ll say it again, nobody is suggesting closed doors now or any time soon. However, there may come a time when we can play football but not watch it, as large gatherings will still be banned. That’s when closed doors games might be an option.

Allowing an extension to the domestic season is currently the least bad scheme. It may be that things won't have improved enough by then, but we just don't know at present.

I’m not suggesting it happens now but with the deadline extended to August there is still plenty time.
Then the debate is whether professional Football should be played without fans but that’s a different debate.

If it’s safe to play closed door games then that should be done to finish the season. People saying it’s not fair because you lose home advantage etc - it’s still fairer than finishing leagues now. There’s no perfect solution but if it’s safe to play games in a couple months then we should be doing that.

It would if there was an agreement from the clubs to pass on a percentage to lower leagues, which also would not happen, not when the huns/hertz are up the creek

I think my plan has more chance of happening by mid May than his one.

What happens if a player tests positive for covid-19?
The whole team would have to isolate for 14 days.
That would screw up fitting the fixtures into six weeks.

Probably been said already but closed doors games are bloody awful to watch. I’d rather not watch at all.

I hope not Games will require support people who would be better placed somewhere else, like a hospital or GP surgery. How are officials classified as essential? How many directors will travel with the away team etc etc. We aren't even mass testing in the UK yet or tracking. No chance.

A lot of the decision making made up here has been bizarre and pretty much embarrassing.
In order to alleviate the cashflow for some clubs prize money could have released with a balance due once games have either been played / called.

The logistics of playing football even BCD is a huge stretch.
What medical staff will be required and why should they be at a football match and not on the front lines in hospital?
Social distancing will remain important in the fight against the virus until we have a vaccine or an effective treatment, why will Footballers be expected to break that?
What limit will be imposed for public gatherings and will a skeleton staff of football staff break that even without crowds?
Will insurance companies cover teams for CV and if not will players even be allowed to play?
Will clubs be able to afford to play BCD when you consider the overheads and player bonuses?
Have any players returned to their home country that will be unable to travel back to the UK for matches?
Just a few off the top of my head. When restrictions relax in a few weeks or months time, everything won’t be back to normal. It will still be under restrictions and who knows that a second wave of this virus will follow? Football will be one of the last things to come back.
