    I can't see that being right. It would mean 140 miles from the training ground to the match every few days and would mean they'd be playing on a piece of mud after a few weeks.
    I could see them playing all the games at at George's park though, there's about 10 or 15 pitches there

    I wish EFL would lend me their crystal ball for lottery numbers.

    Can't see there being much appetite for football over the summer. We might be facing 30,000 deaths by then so let's now have a kick-about just doesn't sit comfortably at all.

    First time a London team plays there (or Manchester Utd) and 10000 turn up to stand outside it'll all be stopped.

    I can’t see how they can until lockdown is lifted all around the world, given that all the oversees players have gone back home

    It's pie in the sky nonsense from an industry that has lost all touch with reality and is desperately trying to clutch onto life amidst its death throws. All the money has gone, the whole thing is going to collapse and the closer they're getting to the inevitable the more ludicrous their suggestions. They're over.

    Ludicrous but somehow I believe that football will try something as ridiculous as this.

    It's one of the plans being muted - there are several options. Playing the games at Wembley and or St George's is one of the choices - most of the press, majority of the tabloids ran with the Wembley option so the games could be televised as well. From a TV set up point of view in this scenario - Wembley would be the easier option as the facilities for TV coverage are better

    So the efl want to potentially kill people in the name of money. A new low, even for these scumbags.

    Have to agree with your assessment. The EFL in particular is finished. Some of the richest PL clubs may survive until a vaccine is available and the virus gone, but most footballers will no longer have a team to play for. I would imagine our own owners will be looking to minimize their losses before bailing out.
