I doubt any club could pay wages - maybe furlough them at Ł2500 per month. The only people working will be those in the public sector, and who will be paying them ?

For those not working - prob 5-6 million, and those furloughed, paying a monthly fee to what pampered players stroll around an empty ground isn't really going to happen either.
I think it's feasible that smaller gatherings than the sort you get with football crowds could be allowed and, given the reduced risk for younger people, that could include the sort of numbers needed to get a football game played - other people within the ground for administrative reasons, broadcasting purposes etc would be observing social distancing rules.
