Football to be stopped?

just heard a snippet there saying that all outside sports might be called off...could be the end for a few clubs

 

Think it's more like amateur, kids, pub football not professional who have the means to be tested every week

 

one argument was that some clubs cannot afford the testing that was being asked for during the 1st lockdown, i really hope not for everyones sake, one season written off was bad enough...hoping i heard wrong to be honest, guess we will find out soon.

 

What have they done up in Scotland with the football after their lockdown announcement?

 

They're letting professional sports continue.

 

We will probably follow suit then imo.

For now anyway, I honestly can't see this season being completed

 

end it now put us in premier league on past titles won and chuck the scum in national league north job sorted

 

That's all professional football cancelled again due to new national lockdown. Season's gonna go same way as last...

 

I thought football was excluded?

 

Southampton will be gutted!

 

According to that Sam Coates on Sky News mate, all outdoor sports suspended and he specifically said Premier League. I'm looking on Sky News live now to see if it's updating but its slow

 

More details on lockdown rules PM did not mention

There are some extra restrictions that we know about that Boris Johnson didn't talk about directly in his eight-minute address to the nation.

All non-essential retail and personal care must close.

Restaurants can continue to do delivery or provide takeaways – however takeaway or click and collect of alcohol will be banned.

Zoos and animal attractions will close, as will all outdoor sports venues such as golf and tennis courses and gyms.

Outdoor team sport will not be permitted, but elite sport – for example the Premier League – can continue.

Playgrounds will remain open and so will places of worship.

That's just came up on Sky News live but it's 100% not what he said on the TV though. Fingers crossed it can!

Edit, yes, they've just corrected him on Sky News there.

 

Yes - very unclear just now.
Tho’ l expect all will close done at least for a time. They think all pro football = PL

 

Sky says PL NOT IN LOCKDOWN. !!!

 

Screenshot from the sky app...

 

Is league 1 'elite'

 

Depends who you're watching

 

Just said on Sky Sports that PL, EFL and SPFL will all continue

 

so... just when i thought we could breathe a little sigh of relief, it seems it is still not certain...why the hell can people not be clear nowadays, always seems to be confusion somewhere.

 

Derby County have positive tests and have closed their training ground - announced tonight, Monday.
