Scouser2 Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Other clubs in the league been selling ST’s for a few weeks , would think a fair number of fans like myself would renew as a way of supporting the club........But can see why our club is taking its time , there might be news re ST once the SPFL somehow get round to making an official decision to bring this season to an end ..granted things may change in next 6 months but with all the current expert medical opinion and the way this pandemic is going ...at the moment it looks very unlikely that fans will be allowed back to most grounds/sporting arenas in the rest of 2020 or until a vaccine, or valid correct medical treatment is made available Edited April 13, 2020 by Scouser2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some time to go till we can even think of finishing this season. The BBC have an article up online including this quote from an expert in epidemics, he seems to agree with you...... Zach Binney, a PhD in epidemiology, says no sporting events will take place without a Covid-19 vaccine, with Binney also throwing practical doubts on the ability to hold games behind closed doors. However, with vaccines not expected until the second half of 2021, we could be waiting some time to see our teams again. Even if that prediction is a touch on the pessimistic side, is it really feasible to shoehorn games in either over or after the summer to get the campaign done, whether in front of a crowd or not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, but if that prediction is true, all the teams in the English Championship will be bust within a year, same with EPL if TV money is withheld. Scotland might fare a bit better, more teams could go PT, but with the higher % of income that comes from gate receipts, even Celtic with £40m in the bank and a £50m wage bill would struggle waiting till 2022. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangodog Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Closed-doors games would satisfy fans in the short term and TV and betting companies, but it's a very poor substitute. After a while people would stop watching it, because crowds are an essential part of the game. Before we can contemplate football people have to return to work or they won't be able to afford to watch it, either live or on TV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewWylie Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Closed doors ain’t very good but ain’t very good is a million times better than what we’ve got now , when football begins again it will definitely start behind closed doors , folk love sport so will take anything to brighten our lives up just now , even a bloody cartoon grand national the other week got just under 5 million of us watching , if football behind closed doors is back before pubs open the tv audiences will be massive 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killiepies Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 If there is no games this year then when the league does start they will be lucky if there is anymore than 2 full time teams and they will only have a handful of experenced full time pros on there books .We will actually be back to the old days with most teams amateur.They will have all day to train though because I doubt any of us will have a job -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonbon19 Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 I honestly don’t get all the doom and gloom , clubs survived WW2 . Fans won’t want clubs to fail and imo will step up , if they can afford to do so obviously . Football clubs will survive its just remains to be seen , in what form . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch14 Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 One of the articles in The Athletic was suggesting that the government, certainly UK, are really keen to get games behind closed doors by way of boosting morale for the country. Have a game on every night, give people something to watch. Agree it's a poor substitute, but there's probably something in that idea of people getting behind it. Keeping money coming in will be a huge issue if its for as long as is suggested in Italy/Germany though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 The word on the radio yesterday was that the EPL matches might all be played out in two empty, bio-clean stadia, one in the Midlands and one in London. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how will that work if the EPL finish off the current season behind closed doors and Doncaster has already called the season over for the bottom three leagues ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently a question of resources - as skydog mentions - that was the 'keeping the players in world cup style training camps' for a few months plan. We couldn't afford it was the word.

It is much a different time we live in I agree it’s a much different time but I’m optimistic that most clubs will survive . Tbh we have too many senior teams in Scotland that are just scraping by and it sometimes takes something like this for the authorities to reassess things and reorganise the whole structure from the bottom up . I’ve no great thoughts on how as it’s been discussed elsewhere but the problem is that Scottish football lacks leadership and foresight . The aftermath of this crisis may force decisions upon some teams as to their future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
