No way after 34/44 games they can just scrap the season don’t be silly

Would be gut wrenching for us all if that happens.

Yep, Times reporting that government plan to play behind closed doors with streams for ticket holders. Could be implemented as early as tomorrow morning meaning no crowd for Shrewsbury on Saturday.

OggyOi will be swimming in donations for his dodgy stream

Not sure how they can sort the logistics out by Saturday.

How do you stop mall pubs showing a hooky stream of a game?

Saturday's games will have a crowd though

 

[Ring Of Steel]

All shops closed in Denmark, universities and schools closed in Ireland, matches postponed in other countries, and we are trying to ‘contain’ or whatever they call it- unfortunately I don’t see any way that we are going to have a “normal” end to the season.

Unless it’s all blown out of proportion of course, who the hell knows

Course it’s not going to be a normal end we all accept that

it inevitable

You say that about everything

 

[CovUpNorth]

A 2 week Lockdown is set to be announced, heard this from a well connected Doctor. That will mean everything postponed for 2 weeks.

You’re right “it won’t be a normal end to the season” because for the first time in forever we are going to win the league!!!!!

Cool story bro

To be fair, it's illegal for them to stream ifollow already but they aren't fussed.

Are the police going to go to every pub?

That's what I was asking, smaller pubs will chance it

Just read the Times article. Good to see football season will be concluded behind closed doors. ifollow it is then from Saturday

 

[chiefdave]

Not sure how they can sort the logistics out by Saturday.

For all we know they've already got it ready to go and are just waiting to be told when.

Isn't that mainly premier League?

I can't see how ifollow can physically get that sorted by Saturday. They would need servers, support staff, infrastructure.

Imagine thousands of people trying to sign up, a lot not computer literate.

I just can't see it coping.

 

[David O'Day]

It's an unsoufcec times article doesn't mean it will happen Saturday if at all

 

[David O'Day]

The amount of confirmation bias on here is amazing

 

[chiefdave]

Its done by Endeavor who also do the NFL, NBA, WWE, UFC and loads of other sports. Might be a bit of a delay but couldn't they just route things to servers in other countries as as they won't have any load when EFL games are being played?

 

[covcity4life]

What if they cancel the season and say no promotions or relegations?!

Behind closed door games will benefit us surely because St Andrews has seemed semi closer doors all season.

Hoorah! Even the coronavirus is behind us.

Complete lock downs had to be the way to go and hopefully things might get back to normal then. It won’t be just footie will be all spectator events apparently there’s more MPs in isolation including a member of Cabinet so it’s not all bad news. Also it’s been revealed Denmark has gone into lock down and they haven’t got one case, what aren’t we being told ?
