You are right. If seasons can start and not end, it makes it all a mockery. I say there is every chance we are in the same position in 12 months time (in the case of 2020/21 starting in August). I imagine that the views of some on here about ending a season early will be completely different if we were in the top 2 in April 2021.
No you're not.
No it isn't.
People are always dying.
Professional sport and society in general can't stay on hold indefinitely. The football authorities are absolutely, 100% right to be looking at ways to get the game and the many thousands of people it employs back into action. It's going to be a gradual process and the sooner it gets underway the better as far as I'm concerned.
If you're not interested in football restarting, then pay no attention to it. Go and play golf instead.
You really are talking out of your arse
I was chatting to a registrar in intensive care at morriston hospital in swansea yesterday , this virus is one nasty mother****er and if we allow mass gathering such as football , rugby and concerts a whole new wave could emerge
As far as you are concerned ? Thankfully you are not a doctor
As for golf , its crap
I know em , jogging freaksOr were you stalking them?
Perhaps they were jogging seperately and met up by chance just round the corner from where you saw them?
The rate of infection is bordering on 1. We are in no state to test whether the introduction of a sport, or schools reopening or clothes shops opening is safe or not. We should be avoiding the second wave, but it seems that we are more eager to get off hold and get back to watching pointless sports matches for a few weeks. It's been on hold for 12 weeks now, another 12 weeks is not going to make any difference - especially considering the main revenue stream for most clubs is ticket sales. Does it really matter to Birmingham City or QPR if they play in front of 0 fans today or in August?
From the government website
But maybe rules in wales are different to here.what you are allowed to do:
meet one other person from a different household outdoors - following social distancing guidelines
Who cares about this season when there’s a pandemic going on?
Why is it so important for the premier league and the championship but not leagues 1 and 2?
People really are stupid , football is indeed a big industry but 20000 people meeting up every saturday in cardiff , bristol , birmingham , stoke , leeds etc is exactly the sort of thing that's going to bring on a second wave
If they are talking of it being some time till bars and restaurants are going to open and even then restricted , when do the football authorities think we should start letting mass gatherings like football matches take place ?
And concerts ? I love rock concerts but expect to see any bands for a long time
I think football has got its head in the sand and that chief executive of the premier league was showing how selfish and capitalist the game has become by his idiotic reasons for getting football started
The premier league cares about itself
Nobody else
It's the Maggie thatcher of the football world
I think the point there is that the EFL can control what happens between league 1 and 2 and Championship and 1 but it cannot control what happens between championship and the PL because it has to seek agreement with it. So it can demote teams from the championship but cannot promote teams to the Premier without agreement.
It's got to happen when it's safe to do so, that's it in my opinion, if that takes another couple of months then so be it, even if it's without supporters. As for revenue streams, yeah, most clubs are massively reliant on ticket sales although i'd add in sponsorship deals if games are broadcast and money from the football league and position they finish.
I don't think that anyone is expecting crowds to return anytime soon.
What makes the premier league more important? Just money
People are defending it by saying it’s good for the economy, but how much money is being generated by 22 lads running about an empty stadium?
I don’t actually have strong feelings either way but rushing it back seems short sighted.
As far as I can see it, it would make more sense to bring leagues 1 and 2 back as those players are living on “normal” salaries. How come they’re not allowed to work for a living but premier league players are?
Have a word with The Lone Gunman
League 1 and league 2 can't afford to play games without gate receipts, it's a financial decision. If it's safe for The Championship and Premier league to finish at some point, then why not?
Who said anything about mass gatherings, you ****ing moron? I certainly didn't.
"This virus is nasty, a whole new wave could emerge....."
So what are we, as a society, supposed to do? Lock ourselves away forever in case things get worse? That's just not going to happen.
In my opinion, it's far better to begin a controlled return to some sort of normality as soon as possible rather than just hiding away living in constant fear. That's what's happening in numerous countries around the world and it's already happening here too. The city centre now looks very different to how it was a few weeks ago and a good percentage of the population are acting very differently too, which is hardly surprising after nine weeks of inactivity.
I don't understand the opposition to football resuming behind closed doors. If the players or staff don't want to be involved, they won't have to. And if people aren't interested in it, they won't have to pay attention. So what's the problem?
Did he say with crowds?
There's a lot of false Dilemma Rhetoric on this board at the moment. It's not a case of 'one or the other'
La Liga's back in June:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52783201
Hertha Berlin won 4-0 last night after a 3-0 away win last week. Playing behind closed doors obviously agrees with them - they haven't had results like this for years!
Running past you or running away?
Good news, look forward to it.
Nope, maybe never if most clubs go bust in the next 12 months. Let’s hope that oxford vaccine is a winner else you may never get to watch cardiff city fc in the ground again.
How does the city centre look different?
