Its not the Black Death more are killed by bee stings, if you are worried buy as many bog rolls as you can lock your doors and come out in six months time.

The restrictions are almost certainly going to get much worse over the next 3-6 months. Playing footy matches in empty stadiums might be the far end of it but, for example, I can't see how organisers of festivals like V or Glasto are going to get either adequate insurance or appropriate medical facilities in place. How the hell is Eurovision going to be allowed to be held in one building? I can't believe the Olympics will be going ahead either. I suspect you would get certain nations (and GB might be one) refusing to send teams.
Strap in folks, it is not going to be over soon.

The over 70’s including Roy Hodgson could be banned from attending premier league games.

If there is a ban on fans id happily pay online for tickets to keep the club going

Maybe need a crowd funding starting for chemical suits for Adam and goody to bring us coverage 8-)

Absolutely spot on Hoss.

Above seems to be 'advisory', below is a 'ban'.

'Premier League considers banning over 70s from attending football matches due to fears over coronavirus'

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... virus.html

For the sceptics on this subject, this virus is a real threat and it's getting serious now.

Take away the 'elderly' from Holker St. and you'll loose 1000+ home fans plus many away fans too.

OK, say several 100, but the most dedicated of all Bluebird fans, who've been with the Club for decades thro' good times and bad. Real shame and it's NO laughing matter youngster. Spare a thought for these folk, for some of whom the Club is the main focus of their retired lives.

I think you are really getting your knickers in a twist, they are talking in the worst case scenario of cancelling major sporting events.. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble but Barrow v Wrexham is not a major sporting event for anyone but us

SayitagainSam again, no thanks. Don't say things even once if the Daily Mail is your source of information. All the newspapers only exist to sell more newspapers and will print any shite to do so. Trying to ban over 70's is illegal and pretty much unenforceable anyway. People believing the media crap has got all the snowflakes panicking. Keep Calm and Carry on
Just say no to VAR :sentoff:

"Cars kill more"
"Flu kills more"
"Bees kill more"

Literally the stupidest point anyone can make.
