    Probably the best solution if this is possible.

    It's a big IF, would still need only 1 player at a club to display coro symptoms for the whole club to be in isolation, i've given up hope for the whole of 2020

    Agree. A bit like Jet2 emailing me yesterday to say flights start 17 June or Emirates saying 1 May from Glasgow apparently as I'm told. All good for light at the end of the tunnel morale but dubious. Football is a contact sport, closed doors or not and can't see the Govt allowing when they are clamping down further on gatherings which is what a match is. Can't see it but happy to be wrong if proven safe.

    Stupid decision for me. It only needs one player or official from any team to be infected, pass it on to others, they in turn pass it on to family members etc etc and the whole lockdown starts all over again.
    Football is not the be all in life and should not restart until the whole country is clear/safe again.

    They will be tested and I am sure plans will be outlined. I think WWE took place behind close doors and horse racing will be soon as will F1z

    Mate, they is no vaccine? What we going to do? No open any retail shops, nobody going into offices or into cities?

    Playing behind doors is the best solution for now.

    Another big issue which Gary Neville brought up. Let’s say last game of Season Leeds need to win to secure title, how can you guarantee there wouldn’t be hundreds if not thousands of fans outside the stadium? The exact same issue with Liverpool.

    Because they wouldn't. You police it if required and fine.

    That's a rubbish point.

    Neville has backtracked from that because it was stupid.

    Yeh good luck with that, we’re seeing how well not telling people to go out is working in some areas. The cost of police would be a ridiculous spend considering they’re needed for far more important things than football at the moment.

    You're thinking far too ahead.

    They'll be nothing to see. It's behind closed doors. I am sure the clubs will arrange something when the time is right but it was a stupid point by Neville and even he back tracked and if the police bill is high then that's the clubs issue.

    Think Bradford could make the play offs now myself.

    No it wasn’t it was a fair point, but not as fair as the one Tony is making above. Should one player show symptoms a full team would have to stop and potentially any team they recently played. The stupid point is by the EFL thinking there’s a chance of it happening soon.

    Mate, they will have a plan. What is going to happen no form of sport until a vaccine is found??

    Have a word! Sport is a business! Solutions will be found.

    And for your info in Germany behind closed doors is happening next month and in Australia too.

    This plan has to be ratified by Goverment and is probably unlikely by May 16. if it does happen I hope there is an I follow facility which will help to raise a bit of money for stricken clubs

    Richard O’Donnell has already said he doesn’t want to play behind closed doors, as have others. Now imagine them being forced to play and contracting it and passing it onto a family member who then dies, the authorities would be in deep crap.

    Germany and Australia’s deaths are nowhere near are scale, let’s see where they are next month. If Germany’s started to climb they’d soon change their tune as the football authorities in this country have twice already.

    Seriously not interested in what ROD shad to say. He will play if tested and all are.

    Also, we will be taking next month and hopefully we will be where Germany are. You are acting like it will be tomorrow.

    Please understand that soon from now we will be back in city centres doing shopping.

    You're thinking short term.. we will have plenty testing soon and be able to solve issues because if we can't the world is in deep deep trouble.

    All sporting bodies will have a plan just like top businesses will.
