Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

I'm Blue said:
Surely if the safest thing to do is to cancel all football (and other sports), then it shouldn’t be the decision of the associated governing bodies, but a decision made by the governments.

Just had an email from British Cycling (I am a coach) that they will follow guidelines from the government.

It's pathetic. A corrupt organisation which is only interested in financial considerations and doesn't care a shit about supporters. The whole Cl competition is already compromised.
 
I have zero confidence that the maggots who feed off football will do the responsible thing here, unless the Government forces them to. I love City, but I love my family too and this is killing large numbers of people, nearly a 1000 in Italy alone. The fact that the EPL haven’t already stopped the season say it all.
 
I'm sorry if it's already been mentioned but what does this article say about season ticket holders (I can't read the next part without subscribing)?

It says they'll be able to stream it but is that all? Surely nobody is suggesting that being able to stream the games live is any compensation for not being able to attend game!!?? If that is the case, there as to be some consumer rights that says we aren't receiving what we have paid for.
 
With the news of 3 Leicester City players showing sign, will surely mean further players across all teams across the country will be affected now.

Ah so Boris has got us covered, I wasn’t worried : )
As someone else suggested the governing bodies probably want the government to make the decision for them, then they’ll be less chance of lawsuits.
 
At the beginning I was, oi just because I am elderly (& have 'underlying problems') I am not going to be put under 'house arrest', I will carry on as normal. However, as it progresses and I see the effect I am 50-50 about, for example attending the Burnley match on Saturday! One minute my brain says, I am NOT going into panic mode and then something else is said/reported and I am mmmmmm but I want to see my Great-Grandkids grow up and people are only concerned about me!! Is football worth this?
Then it's back to I'm a Blues supporter we never give in!! Ah well, I should stop reading reports etc and just rely on my own instincts.
It would therefore be good if someone else, government (ugrrgghh) or football authorities (double uggrrgghh) made the decision for me!! :-)
