    No chance. We have enough of our own. They breed like rabbits

    A great read that. Theres a popular belief and Ive no idea if true or false that China has drastically fiddled its figures and that are far worse than they're saying. Maybe, just maybe, they've handled it better than the rest of us. Either way, well soon know for definite

    I’d never believe any report supplied by the Chinese

    They most certainly have handled it much better than the rest of us if that story is factually correct.
    Was written by Debi Edward who works for ITV news, and she has been very critical of the Chinese reporting of this virus, so no reason to doubt it.

    There is no such word in the English language as English tinker, and they still sound Irish to us. <whistle>

    I see Cheltenham is now being linked with spikes in cases, wonder how many watching a race will kill.

    See the British government have just said they don't see social distancing coming to an end until they have a vaccine, so doesn't look like any fans at games this year. :emoticon-0106-cryin

    Not necessarily! Have you seen all the empty spaces at some stadiums? They looked they were distancing before all of this!

    There won’t be fans at matches until the virus has been eliminated and that could be a long way off.

    Can't see there being any matches for a long time yet.
    So many obstacles to overcome.

    Players will have to do a pre-season, that's if they are able or willing.

    If you was a player with a pregnant wife at home, or you've got a child with asthma or other medical conditions, no way in the world would you mix with other players at the training ground!!

    Exactly. Every sports fan wants their pet sport to start up whether it’s football rugby golf or whatever. Totally understandable. But if we’re to criticise Cheltenham and the havoc it caused, we must realise other sports won’t happen either. Governments can’t be seen to make exceptions for one and not another

    Nearly at the end of week 6 of total lockdown, just been extended for another 2 weeks, that will take us to May 11.
    Clubs here struggling like everywhere, players saying they will play when the health service say its safe not what the league decides, makes sense.
    Random stat I saw earlier, the museum at FC Barcelona turns over €57m a year!
    Stay safe all.
