Its been a massive success. Pretty much every concern raised by a majority in this thread didn’t come to fruition. I disagree that most in this thread were in favour of a return if the right protocols were in place. Most were very dismissive and those who suggested a restart could be completed successfully were shamed and criticised endlessly.
@Dancfc will attest to this.
- There were no spikes in infections.
- there were no deaths or serious illness to any footballer or any of their family members.
- the only mass gatherings outside grounds were done by the only set of fans you could count on to be cnuts all the time.
- pubs were not rammed with football fans
- the PL did not take resources from the nhs
- PL matches taking place didn’t put the nhs on its knees
- there wasn’t a mass amount of injuries to players
- fans watched games from their homes and people didn’t turn away from live football
- as expected the rest of the country opened up and football was not given special treatment.
So yeah , credit to the PL and clubs for a job well done. Amongst such fierce criticism they just gone on with things.
I’m curious to have
@90 + 5min take on this?
