Sport in general but especially footie and golf.
Think golf courses might open next week but I don't think we'll be stepping back in a football stadium for a long time. Unless they go for reducing capacity by two thirds to facilitate social distancing. That might be enough to save the season.
If they opt for no crowds most league two clubs with go under, so the only option will be to end the season in my opinion

Would ending the season stop clubs from going under?

It looks like the football clubs in Norway will be allowed to train from this evening and that the series can start the 16th of June.
Will be announced tonight according to reliable sources of the largest newspaper. No reason not to believe it.
But I still miss League Two football and to watch Grimsby Town desperately!
UTMM!

How do you make that out? Ending the season now means no income whilst the biggest item of expenditure (player wages) still has to be met. Finishing the season behind closed doors provides some income. |

I wasn't thinking about it very deeply but my rationale was that players are currently being paid by the government scheme. If games restart behind closed doors the club pays the players and receives virtually no income. If the season is declared void my instincts are that the clubs will find a mechanism to cancel player contracts. Might be miles off course...

If any team game is designed for social distancing, it has to be cricket. |

Where is "here" ? By the way, confirmed yesterday by the Norwegian government that the football season can start 16th of June - about three months after it was originally scheduled. I hope English football will get rolling again soon too... Some interesting information today - The public health institute in Norway says that the number of infected people were rapidly on its way down in early March, at the time when the lockdown of the country was decided. So I hope this may apply to you also, and that we soon will be able to live our life as normal again. |

Is it true that when told they have to remain two metres apart Norwegian people were complaining that they weren’t going to stand THAT close to complete strangers? 😉 |

 Absolutely. Which explains the relatively low number of infected people here. We are not very comfortable with strangers. Two metres feel too intimate, like you are trying to get it on with me...  |

Not a problem for the Scunts, at Glumford ‘Sands Ground’ Park no one will notice the difference.

Golf courses are reopening tomorrow. Football resumes this weekend in Germany with no crowds. There certainly won't be any crowds at any venues if the season resumes and more than likely non this year. Personally I think the PL will resume,very little chance of the Championship finishing & L1 and L2 scrapped. |

If that were the case, who would get priority? ST holders who have already paid meaning the club would get no income, or ignore ST holders and only allow payers to attend? |

Championship could resume in June. Football in England could return from the coronavirus shutdown as early as June 6, with the EFL close to finalising the restart of the Championship before the anticipated resumption of the Premier League, sources have told ESPN.
Discussions between the Premier League, its 20 clubs and the government over "Project Restart" have yet to result in a clear outline of where and when the top flight will be able to resume, despite UEFA imposing a deadline of May 25 for European leagues to confirm plans to restart or cancel the 2019-20 season.
But while the Premier League continues to search for a route back to competitive action, sources have told ESPN that the EFL are confident that football will return in the Championship, the English game's second tier and feeder into the Premier League, on the first weekend of June.
Talks involving the EFL and the league's 71 member clubs are ongoing and, while sources have said that League 1 and League 2 are likely to cancel the season and focus purely on completing the promotion play-offs, there is optimism that the Championship can and will be played to a conclusion on the pitch.
Sources have told ESPN that Championship clubs are now merely waiting to be advised of the safety protocols involving testing, training and the staging of fixtures before launching full-scale preparations to return to action next month.
All 24 Championship clubs have nine games still to play this season -- the campaign was suspended on March 13 -- leaving 108 fixtures yet to be played, plus the end-of-season playoffs between clubs finishing between third and sixth, respectively.
Leeds United, who last played in the Premier League in 2003-04, lead the Championship and have a seven-point cushion between themselves and third-placed Fulham.https://www.espn.co.uk/footbal.....emier-league-sources |
