    Would that mean we get Bowyer back though, if we start again?

    I'm fine with Liverpool winning the PL. Much happier with that than Man City.
    But I'd take it to stop Leeds going up.

    What about the hugs and touching when they score? Or the physical bear hugs strikers get from defenders? Don’t they shower before playing? Wash hands?

    The EFL are good at washing their hands.

    Look at how they washed themselves of any blame to do with Bury and Bolton.

    Perhaps they could wear disposable gloves.

    you are more likely to catch it, die from it etc. If you are more likely to have it there is a higher chance of you also passing it on before you know you have it

    :joy: this couldn't happen. Imagine the fuss working out who was over 70, what about 69 and those who don't look their age. The turnstiles would be bedlam with some aged individuals producing false ID. :eyes:
    It would be a whole ban rather than this crazy idea :joy::mask::joy:

    for those with decent season ticket systems it would be easy as they will have the date of birth, so just lock those tickets

    Italian League on the verge of being ‘put on hold’. “Parma's Serie A tie against SPAL kicked off 75 minutes late after Italy's sports minister requested the league was suspended with immediate effect because of the coronavirus outbreak”.
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51792167

    Even if supporters are not getting to games, then all it needs is for a single player, the management team, and/or a member of their family to contract the virus, for the whole team to be put in lockdown. Not sure if they can separate the management team, from the commercial side of the club, and as such an increased risk of contagion.

    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.

    Selfishly speaking (and why shouldn't we be selfish, it's the apocalypse ffs) then timing the 2 week lock down to start a week tomorrow would suit me beautifully with an already scheduled 2 week break from work commencing after. A month off? Yes please.

    If we follow Italy’s lead then you will be lucky. They have shut their schools for 4 weeks, so the last two will be during your holidays. I know you don’t want the kids to miss too much school. :cool:

    if you are unlucky it will start after your holidays

    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.
