HKOwen Hong Kong 12 Mar 20 8.34am
Reports in various sources now anticipating all football including Premier League will soon go to " behind closed doors ". The report states ST and match ticket holders " will be able to follow matches by live stream at home but 3pm broadcasting blackout will not be lifted " Make of that what you will Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

If you have a ticket should be able to watch it. Is this a sky directive?

I’d think this will be the last round of fixtures without special measures - delay phase is being brought in this week which includes options for social restrictions, primarily large gatherings. If not after this weekend certainly after next. We’re two weeks behind and the J curve is only just starting to pick up. It’s coming Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

IF the situation evolves into a "Behind closed doors" scenario then of course there will be no negative affect on attendances! I really don't know if the "Blackout" will still apply and perhaps any comment that it WILL might be pure speculation. Edited by Willo (12 Mar 2020 10.08am)

Although I will miss going to matches, I do feel for the clubs in the lower leagues who rely on the income much more than we do. It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Sansbup Norfolk 12 Mar 20 11.17am
There's a deal to be done with the broadcasters if they are allowed to sell subscriptions to individual games. Complex, as season ticket holders should/would get a free pass, but everyone else could pay, then all the clubs share the proceeds which would go some way to covering their lost income from gate receipts. Surely someone clever should be able to come up with something viable.

doombear Too far from Selhurst Park 12 Mar 20 11.18am
Playing the matches behind closed doors seems totally wrong to me because that arrangement is associated with punishment (e.g. Croatia v England in the Nations Cup etc.) Also, given the postponement of the Citeh v Arsenal match, how long before other games are postponed because other players have to self-isolate? It seems to me that sooner or later we may need to go the Italy route and simply postpone several rounds of matches and then when will the season end? (I believe Serie A, Ligue 1, Bundesliga and La Liga are today asking for the 2020 Euros to be postponed for a year - will be interesting to see what happens and what happens to those countries domestic leagues). We are certainly living in interesting times.

Buckspalace Thornborough 12 Mar 20 12.08pm
I feel it is enevitable that all games will be behind closed doors. I have 2 tickets for the Burnley match which I dont think will be allowed to attend, I would rather then a refund be carried over to a match next season as an option. Dont have BT Sport or Sky so not sure how would watch any streamed match unless all went free to view somehow which isn't going to happen.

Its pointless just suspend the league, will be lucky to get a couple of games behind close doors before the players get it anyway.

scuffy orpington 12 Mar 20 1.27pm
This is absolutely right. One of the main hopes for stopping the spread is the onset of spring and getting people outside where the germs will disperse rather than having them congregated inside in crowded areas. Course the problem is also people getting to and from games on crowded tubes, trains etc. Originally posted by Midlands Eagle I haven't seen those reports and in fact the medical expert on Radio 5 this morning said that it was safer to go to a football match than it was to crowd into a pub to watch it as the virus doesn't travel as well outside
