It's not so much the grouping of large numbers, although that will also be a key factor, it's the obligation to have police and medical staff in attendance. If they don't need to be present at events then they are free to be reassigned to more urgent tasks. So what are the police and medical staff going to be doing today which they wouldn't be doing if they were at the Mem etc? I appreciate this all now seems immaterial as it's looking more and more likely we won't be watching live football for months but it's nonsense to say the emergency staff are needed elsewhere this weekend. An article in The Times today suggesting the Premiership are likely to be in breach of their TV contracts if they don't fulfil all their fixtures this season and so could lose out of all the Sky/BT money for this season, I assume that will also apply to EFL clubs as well. Emergency staff are always in demand, it forms part of the contingency plans. Although they may not be needed today or in the Bristol area, other parts of the country may need them and in time, so will most parts, not just for this pandemic either.

Seems like local FA’s or individual leagues are jumping on a bandwagon. All shops are open, schools are open and universities are open. What additional risks are being avoided by this action bearing in mind the participants are extremely unlikely to spend their Saturday afternoons self isolating. They will be dragged to the local shopping malls by their better half’s or spend the day in the pub. Seems completely pointless. It's not so much the grouping of large numbers, although that will also be a key factor, it's the obligation to have police and medical staff in attendance. If they don't need to be present at events then they are free to be reassigned to more urgent tasks. But until the government decides to go with a complete lockdown what prevents grass roots football. Somerset County league games don’t require policing or an ambulance sat on site as far as I’m aware.

Realistically it seems the PL and FL are unlikely to resume matches until 2022.

Regarding sky/bt and football in the future. Would the tv companies have to pay for a product that is no longer available to them? That would make it interesting for premier league teams

A lot of clubs will be in the same position as one-another so expect the government, FA etc. to take that into consideration and adopt special measures. It could also be a good opportunity to change the football seasons so that they run during the summer months and break for the winter instead. That will save clubs money in the future.
This season is over. It seems likely next season will start after the January 2022 transfer window.

That would make it interesting for premier league teams The Times article is going further than that and saying they may not have to pay out for this season's fixtures already played, as the Premiership will have been unable to fulfil all their fixtures. If there's any truth in that then we could even see Premiership teams going into Admin. If it also applies to the EFL then some Championship club could be in real difficulties. Although Sky/BT have clearly benefited, viewers wise, from the games they've already broadcast.

If we now follow Italy, CV wise, do you really think one of the Government's concerns will be worrying about whether football club's survive or not, when thousands could be dying and companies like BA potentially going to the wall? I've no idea why playing in the summer will save clubs money!

Scary times, society as we know it could be up for its biggest shock since the Second World War. The aviation and hospitality industries are at huge risk, beyond the obvious risk to life of those who are medically vulnerable.
Either way as a society as a whole will pay as a collective for this outbreak even if it is contained well here on in. As we will have to support those who’s businesses go under in some shape or form.

Where would the money come from to pay the players? Under that scenario you’re talking about clubs making players worth up to 200 million redundant so they don’t have to pay their wages for 1.5 years and then risking those players signing for other clubs FOR FREE. I can’t see that happening in a month of Sunday’s. I would be very very very very very very very surprised if there is no football until 2022, the financial implications just don’t add up and I would also be very watered off if the government was putting resources towards propping football up given the issues that will face far more important core industries in the country.

Either way as a society as a whole will pay as a collective for this outbreak even if it is contained well here on in. As we will have to support those who’s businesses go under in some shape or form. The thing that scares me is that whilst for most of us this illness will not have a huge effect on our own personal health it could create a death toll but also a very very bleak economic situation that isn’t being talked about because of the threat to life. People may live through this but what about the loss of jobs and the resulting strain on the welfare system? Are landlords going to take pity on jobless tenants who lost their job because of a freak act of nature? I doubt it. We’re about to find out over the next few months how far human kindness really extends. It worries me for those living on the breadline that despite the country going to the dogs bills will still need to be paid or else. I think we will also discover the danger of having so many people living in rented properties where rents are over 50% of people’s income.

Not sure what’s going on in Italy with this? Sounds like absolute chaos, 1250 dead already but the figures don’t seem to add up? 17,000 confirmed cases so to have that many fatalities the true figures of the infected must be 10 fold the 17k figure. Sorry this is nothing to do with football, all very worrying though.
