Hampshire Red Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 We should all avoid panic and fake news. I get that! Forest assessing their players with announcement due this morning so I suggest their official website is the only way of making your plans for 22nd (would Sky show a game with no fans?) They are due to play Sheff Wed this weekend who we are due to play next Tuesday I think a lot of us will travel to Blackburn on Saturday as this situation remains very unclear for the rest of this season.

Admin phantom Posted March 11, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Yes Their TV viewing figures would be higher if those that had been at the game now watch on TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but even sky would struggle to show a game with no players. The issue for the 22nd is surely about the Forest players, not about large gatherings etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Red Posted March 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 From our Corona guru in lockdown Italy!? You are right. I know people say I g of Forest can't play again the EFL will have big decisions to make, just like the EPL are keen to anoint Liverpool champions before their league is suspended. I'm off to Blackburn anyway as long as it ON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 When half our team were out due to illness we got no special treatment. Keep them away, shut up and play on. Same rules should apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Red Posted March 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Forest got to be in doubt, even unlikely to make this the last trip of the season. Good day out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Well Forest can't play behind closed doors if they still suspect infection at the club because the opposition players and staff would still be at risk, so logically they either play or postpone.

mozo Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 52 minutes ago, Super said: why? Well it makes no sense as a response to the Forest situation because it doesn't limit or increase exposure. Behind closed doors only makes sense from a perspective of limiting events where crowds could transmit the virus, in which case every sporting event carries comparable risk, as do music festivals, expos etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 By the way, behind closed doors should have minimal impact on City's performances because we don't seem to be particularly strengthened by our home support, whereas a team like Leeds might feel it a lot more!
