Australia Football and Aussie rules.

What football in the UK is called football in OZ they still call it soccer as most of you are aware. AFL Ozzie rules have recommenced with a closed door system but Adelaide which is in the state of SA agreed to let the local derby the Adelaide Crows and Port Adelaide play in the main Adelaide stadium and allow an attendance of 2,000. The stadium holds in excess of 50,000. Socially distancing was maintained an there has not been one case of corona virus in south Australia now for 4 weeks. To me that is a great start where a very slow transition is appropriate for major football events and where fans can gradually attend. There were also other games where the favourites went down and the lower teams kicked there as$#s which was a bit of a wake up call for the high flyers in Ozzie rules. Makes you think if though that players without their families for 5 to 6 weeks playing in isolation truly reflects psychological  capacity on the players and if this  Could be a similar effect on the prem and championship players in the UK. Could though be a positive to City or not and the reason for this post is making football In any code across the world playing again before they are ready is beneficial or not. The pressure on clubs either it be football in the UK, Ozzie rules in Australia, Rugby League or any sporting code the teams and players will be worried in playing in environments they are not normally used too. They are all super fit sports men and sports woman in their own right but is the media pressure, the economy, the clubs they play for balance sheets really worth it before we get back to real normality ??

In OZ any stadiums with a capacity for any code that has a capacity of 40,000 can now play in front Of an attendance of 25%. So  10,000 in this circumstance.This seems to me as a steady transition. Are any of you aware of anything similar in the UK
