    I'd suggest that we are less than 2 weeks behind Italy (in terms of Coronavirus numbers), so there seems to be an inevitability about this.

    Our club will have to tighten our security up to do that, you know how slack the security are on the entrance to the Sunwin, by the time I get my ticket out of my pocket they wave us through acknowledging were regulars, I can't remember the last time they scanned mine or my grandsons season ticket.

    Looking at wiki for the clubs results by season it had this footnote

    E. ^ : The 1939–40 season was abandoned in early September and all results annulled, after only three matches had been played.

    I guess that season was abandoned very early on. We are around 80% through this season. I anticipate fixtures will go ahead this weekend. However after that it depends if they are played behind closed doors or totally abandoned.

    Spot on and if we have behind closed doors games then we will be watching it indoor with our family & families which is more likely to spread and you are less likely to wash your hands often.

    In Italy and Spain everything is shutting - schools etc the British economy can't afford that and it will lead to a high number of redundancies. So people really need to try to go about their everyday business and wash their hands.

    Football is about the fans and as soon as you do close behind games fans will start to make excuses not to go in future. It will start to damage the game long term.

    I'll be well pissed off if that happens, all that time in a flying Petri dish and I don't get to see them play? (Cue "count yourself lucky " posts).

    Just think football without fans is pointless at professional level. Might as will postpone the leagues.

    the article makes clear it is about the Forest owner. He met the Arsenal players two weeks ago. Technically the isolation should end tomorrow so they can play at wEekend.

    whereas Forest players met him Friday, so should be isolating for another week

    It is 100% about the Forrest owner. That's why tonight's game is off because Arsenal played Olympiakos nearly 2 weeks ago.

    Arsenal clearly knew about this and everyone is back in training on Friday.

    Well no because that will be for next season budget and will go towards next years accounts.

    Problem also is no one is saying why they're trying to delay things when a vaccine will tske around 18 months to develop. What no football for 18 months?

    I'm talking about the season ticket sales for season 2019/20, not next season which are on sale now.

    I would think that depends on how this virus progress, as yet the government have not started lock down in any particular areas or even sport at the moment.
    Do they follow Italy or wait and see how the virus progrees and then makes a decision on areas or ultimately the whole country.

    Are you for bloody real?

    Carry on playing football as per normal yet stop people entering or leaving the country totally?
    You really have exceeded your your own stupidity this time!
