I'm with you Marshy just got my first malt hoping the alcohol will protect from inside out !!! As I can't get sanitiser as the selfish minority have cleared the shelves , whatever happened to the blitz spirit!! Whilst I agree there were selfish people panic buying, it's also a case of just not having enough sanitiser to satisfy the UK. You'd need 66m to make it fair, and thats just assuming we only need one each. I'd be surprised if there were 5m in the entire country. I'm starting a new role on 23rd March and have now been told to start from home as they're closing the offices globally. They'll be sending laptop & phones via post and we'll be conducting trainings via skypes etc. Not quite the start I was looking for, but I'm just glad to start. As I've left my current role and taking a couple of weeks off, I was really worried I'd be caught in no-mans-land without a job and the new company would push the start date back. Indeed. Worrying times, good luck. UTG!

The rise in the tv money deal for the premier league more than covers gate receipts. Championship gets a few quid as well. League one and below will suffer. Just channel hopping and seen a brief clip of Man Utd behind closed doors and Wolves game about to start. However if you are a photographer, europa league banner bearer or stadium announcer - seriously - then it seems you're also allowed in

the further down the pyramid you go the greater the financial implications to the clubs. As far as the prem league goes i would have no sympathy at all, with the amount of cash floating around there they could well afford to take the hit, its a no brainer decision for me, lives before cash, should not be up for debate! for the sake of humanity just ask the players to manage on 10000 a week instead of 50,100, 500 thousand ! at our level its a bit different , how many of us would donate the admission cost to the club if fans are banned? you would not be losing money and you would have the bonus of not suffering by having to watch! even if all fans paid for the i follow thing that would help i presume ? what you reckon Gas eds?

* FORUM ANNOUNCEMENT* For the benefit of anybody new to the forum and thinking this is all sensationalistic rollox, do not take anything Topper says as gospel. They don't need to just read any newspaper website and that will explain why they've not forced sports clubs today to play behind closed doors. I assume if we were all in grave danger of getting CV this weekend then the Government would have taken action.

Dont agree, its not important,just poxy football. Total farce playing behind closed doors. But playing the games behind closed doors can still give the club ways to get income, which could prove vital? EG, advertising on iFollow or other marketing activities? I think events will overtake even attempts to play behind closed doors. But i understand your point.

We could play the games with a toss of a coin like we did with a anglo italian game against west ham. From memory the board didn't travel and listened to the result on the phone.

That's a bit of misinformation there.... Teams were put in groups of 3 the results were if I remember correctly Rovers 3 Southend 0 WHU 1 rovers 1 Southend 0 WHU 3 So we didn't have a representative because we weren't actually playing.....

Toss of a coin because both us and west ham had same stats. It was to decide the winner to go to next stage

One thing I will say is that there were only about 50 of us at Upton park that night and they closed the food kiosk at half time.... But this wasn't going to stop gregs getting a pie, oh, no, no....
So I spoke with a hammers fan through the fence, and using the steward as a sort of makeshift courier I got one....

There's talk of the Premier league voiding this season,what a supreme irony for Liverpool after waiting 30 years they would still not be Championship.
