Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

There is only one way behind closed doors will work without fans turning up. This will need the cooperation of the whole media, and also the cooperation of all the staff of the venues being used. Plus all the staff of the hotels being used to house the players and all their medical and training staff. That of course will not happen. Every team needs the home advantage which will not happen if it is played at neutral venues.

So where will these neutral venues be. They have said one in the North, one in the Midlands and one in the South. The venue for the South is easy that is Wembley Stadium. What isn't so easy is the venues for the Midlands and the North. The home of Aston Villa is out, I don't know if St. Andres is up to holding a load of Premier League games all in one go. It is the North that is the most difficult to sort out a ground for the games to go ahead.

As I have stated before, the changing rooms will have to be deep cleaned before every game. This is to reduce the spread of the coronavirus. The way I look at it say the cleaning staff come in at 8.00am allowing 3 hours for the changing rooms to be deep cleaned. That means that the 1st game can kick off about 12.00pm. With injury time you will be talking about 2.00pm before the players leave the pitch. then all the players have to warm down so that's another 30mins. Afterall this they have to get a shower and changed. So you are going to need about in total between 6-7hrs per game. This is counting the cleaning time as well. That is just not going to happen. The changing rooms will have to be completely deep cleaned between every game, otherwise there could be the risk of an infection of the coronavirus spreading.
 
It's being reported that all players will be wearing full hazmat suits for both training and matches that will be played behind closed doors in order to restart games at the beginning of June.

This seems like a commonsense compromise between ensuring their safety whilst achieving the paramount objective of finishing the 2019-20 season.

What do you think will happen instead then mate? No football at all in this country for over 12 months, assuming there will be no vaccine by March next year?
 
Craig The only way is for 1 game a day This would allow the whole changing rooms to be deep cleaned between every game. The point that I was trying to get over is that, for the games to be played behind closed doors at neutral venues, is that their are to many persons involved for there not to be a leaking of information as to where and when these games will be played.

There will be no domestic sport until the Government says so. However we all know that the Premier League is mightier than the U.K. Government. They probably could have gone on with Wimbledon tennis by just cancelling all the doubles and gone on with just the singles. There would only have been the judges and the players no ball boys. The players would have to get their own balls.

No doubt the suits will be in club colours and with sponser's names printed on them, numbers etc :)

Yeah, was just interested in your thoughts as to what might happen. Maybe one game a day at a certain grounds might be what happens. I can’t see them not bringing football back all be it behind closed doors any later than October. Such a unique situation though that nothing would greatly surprise me.
