    Here you go. As a committed professional you can run ‘distance’ learning. https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/use-group-facetime/ Set this up and you can teach the children as per usual. I am sure you would not wish them to be disadvantaged. Green option, as Carbon Neutral and no commute time. Allow you more time to prepare lessons and assist those kids on a 1 to 1 who could benefit from additional input.

    You'll be pleased to know that we already have a system in place called Glow. It's all under control.

    France, Italy and Greece have now decided games will be played behind closed doors. The whole of Italy is on ‘lock down’. The future is not looking that good for this season!

    If the season is curtailed and never completed do we all just start again where we were at start of the season? If so do bans, goals, appearances etc get wiped from the record?

    And do Bury come back? If the season is cancelled they technically didn’t miss any games

    The nearest I can get to an answer is the 1939/40 season which was cancelled after 3 games. Apparently the record stands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1939–40_Football_League#Third_Division_North

    Here it is for the Third Division North, which City was in at that juncture.

    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.

    The scientist the government are speaking to and taking advice from are saying outdoor activities like football matches are less risk than indoor, which is common sense if you think about it. The virus cannot exist out of the body for very long, so provided ppl wash their hands or use gel, and DO NOT cough and sneeze into the open air, it should be ok.

    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 seen that the owner of Nottingham Forest has been confirmed as having the virus. He was at their game and apparently spoke to the team after.

    They are now taking advice to see if the team have to quarantine

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