    I think they would eventually. Probably not next week but as time drags on and things get more desperate then clubs will look out for their own interests.


    Sure there'll be a couple of 'sweetners' on offer if they are only 1/2 votes short too.

    they did and every club voted against it

    Newcastle United have voted against playing their remaining fixture list at neutral grounds - along with every other Premier League club.

    Hang about - don't pop those champagne corks yet - the best legal minds on an internet forum are yet to pass final judgement on this FA intervention. :emoticon-0176-smoke

    What I’m saying is that there’d be a potential impasse in that situation. The FA can’t dictate PL policy, and the PL can’t override the authority of the FA. It’d be an absolute mess.

    Sorry let me rephrase that - could someone who isn’t @astro give me a summary that actually includes something of any interest whatsoever?

    Newcastle United have voted against playing their remaining fixture list at neutral grounds - along with every other Premier League club.

    A host of grounds had been lined up for sides to finish their season but the bottom six clubs felt losing home advantage for crucial games "
    Now, the rest of the clubs have supported their concerns by voting likewise at a Premier League meeting today.

    Top-flight chief Richards Masters said: "Everybody would prefer to play at home and away if at all possible, and it's clear to see some clubs feel more strongly about that than others.

    "We are in contact with the authorities and listening to that advice, while also representing club views in those discussions."

    The government's previous stance was that the only way the season could be completed was at neutral venues.

    TBF I don't see any mention of other businesses having to work at neutral premises in Boris's roadmap

    If the PL decide against relegation this season the FA will disband the PL and our top tier will become the Championship <ok> <laugh>

    The fact is that the government has cleared the way for the neutral ground plan , but the club's have voted against it, so unless the government has said it's fine with the games taking place at home grounds then we're no further fwd and Liverpool fans have gone too early on celebrating again
