Mr Popodopolous Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 1 hour ago, RaspberryRed said: Hull City are the latest club to donate food ordered for matchday following the suspension of games, with Aston Villa confirming 850 staff packed lunches are being donated to support homeless charities. “With food having already been delivered to the Kcom Stadium for tomorrow’s game, the club was keen to ensure it didn’t go to waste,” read a club statement. “Fresh fruit, vegetables and sandwiches have now been passed over to FareShare Hull & Humber, a charity that redistributes surplus food to over 120 organisations throughout the region. The club are pleased that this surplus food will go to people who really need it. Well done to both! I don't like Aston Villa's antics accounting wise but fair play to both for this!!

wendyredredrobin Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 The postponements will go on much longer than April 3rd I suspect, leading to a situation where sadly, the entire season will probably have to be written off. On a more positive note, we are about to enter an international break, which will result in less postponements, so if the season can be restarted at some point, there will be a bit less catchup. As I understand it, if a flight is cancelled, the airline has to refund your money, but if the football season is cancelled, the clubs get to keep your season ticket money A few clubs are teetering close to extinction and I think a number could go under as a result of this. Whatever the financial outcomes though, the most important thing is keeping people safe. On the virus itself, an Iranian scientist claims that there is evidence that it has been created in a laboratory and could not have been created naturally. He seems to think that in time and with further analysis. this is going to be proven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fat Controller Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Surely the best option if we're unable to play anytime soon would be to play the end of this season and the Euro's as soon as safe & cancel or shorten next season.

Why is this virus so much more important ? 1 hour ago, Bob Turnip said: I assume because we have no imunity. Therefore it will spread to more people, meaning more vunerable people will get it, meaning a lot more of them will die. Also, I hear a lot of people saying 'flu kills people all the time, what's the fuss?' But surely they should be thinking, 'flu kills people all the time, let's prevent 2 or 3 times that amount losing their lives'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin-hugh-blind Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 An actual suggestion... Re start next season with the current points and goal difference etc. Not ideal but given the circumstances at least it's fair and doesn't write off the good work done so far. There will be winners and losers but if the projected numbers are even remotely accurate, football is not the priority. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does sound nice. However, if the peak is expected in 10-14 weeks and will possibly stretch over 3 months then I think we’re going to be dealing with this for a long time to come.

Silvio Dante Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Another angle to the potential rescheduling of games is teams, like us, with multi-use stadiums. Its reasonable to suggest that we cancel the euros, and possibly restart in May with the season ending in June. However, many teams, including ourselves, will have concerts at their grounds during the summer - with all the preparation/takedown time and pitch damage that causes. Its not unreasonable to suggest that the loss of commercial streams from those events may drive clubs, if the season is extended, to not play at their normal ground on occasions rather than lose the concert income 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's worrying as I have my dad, living on his own at 83. He's fiercely independent and I try and pop round a couple of times a week and speak to him most days. Yes, he's a fit 83 but I still don't know whether to keep going round. I'm in and out of hospitals all day at work so am possibly more likely than most to pick this bloody thing up. The last thing I want to do is expose the old fella to more risk! What to do for the best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he has put these measures in place to protect the American people - he won`t do anything to protect those same people from nutjobs with assault rifles though. I`ll wager more Americans will be shot dead this year than die in the whole of Europe from Coronavirus. it`s almost as if he`s more concerned about getting re-elected than protecting his citizens - perish the thought.
