Coronavirus and the impact on football

Yep this is a big worry for us IMO - the Anfield crowd plays a huge part - especially in Europe. That Atletico game can't come soon enough - if that is behind closed doors that massively benefits the away side.

You would think, given away fans allocations are relatively small, that so as not to punish clubs financially they would allow home fans only games, seems reasonable to me

Actually that makes complete sense. It’s international travel that’s causing the rise in cases.

I can see the European Championships being called off, as we've seen with Italy a lot of other European nations didn't react to prevent the spread of the virus as well as the UK Gov did, so having the volume of people from right across Europe coming over that will must be considered a huge public health risk if the situation continues to escalate

I blame it all on immigration

Social housing
Pollution

Now another thing to add corona beer

Closed doors looking more and more likely

Our government is now making noises that it expects the virus to spread widely in the UK. Talk of 80% of the population being affected. Makes sense to reduce the possibility of spreading by stopping crowds forming.
Behind closed doors is a safe bet before very long.

Imagine winning the title in a ground with no spectators.





....Imagine the bloody parade being called off!!

Parade would just be delayed not permanently cancelled

There's talk of stopping over 70's going to matches. I'd love to see a stewert stopping some of my Dads over 70 year old kop season ticket holder mates getting in to see the Reds win the league !!
