And the Premier League refused to barely change anything in the calendar, fitting in PL matches a week after the World Cup. Not only will the players be burnt out, there's so little space for rescheduled games in the middle of a pandemic for the next year.I think we should have a winter break but it will be very hard to do that considering how congested next season is going to be.
It sucks. They should really cancel the League or FA Cup for the year, or both, just to help with the situation.And the Premier League refused to barely change anything in the calendar, fitting in PL matches a week after the World Cup.

It's the law now mate. Outdoor venues with a capacity of over 4,000 require an NHS Covid pass or negative lateral flow. As well as indoor venues >500 people.Not heard anything about this yet from the club.
I know it is but the club said they were getting advice from the Gov or something and would update us but haven't heard anything yet. If they were checking 75000 people there'd need to be some communication to us.It's the law now mate. Outdoor venues with a capacity of over 4,000 require an NHS Covid pass or negative lateral flow.

You know what the club is like. If you're expecting to go to OT any time soon you'll need one of Covid pass/Negative LFT (taken within last 48hrs).I know it is but the club said they were getting advice from the Gov or something and would update us but haven't heard anything yet.

I've "played" next season on football manager and if that's the schedule in reality then get to the semis in all three cups you'll likely be doing midweek-weekend from Christmas right up until the last league game.And the Premier League refused to barely change anything in the calendar, fitting in PL matches a week after the World Cup.

They said that last year, it won't happen.Inevitable that they shut it down surely?
Recipe for injuries after injuriesI've "played" next season on football manager and if that's the schedule in reality then get to the semis in all three cups you'll likely be doing midweek-weekend from Christmas right up until the last league game.
At first I was just glad to get football back but as time went on it became really shit. I think when it really hit me was when we went to Barnsley in the cup, in a normal season that's a packed buzzing crowd.I’d rather go through the rigmarole of passes/checks than grounds being forced to be empty again. I forgot how soulless football felt last season without crowds until I saw some highlights of a game the other day. Just awful.
That's the sensible approach and I've had mine ready since August but I can't imagine it would go down well with some and just lead to chaos when trying to get in the ground. Hopefully the club will send something out before Saturday!You know what the club is like.

The winter WC is the dumbest idea FIFA has come up with to date. I expect it to be a total shit show before, during, and after.And the Premier League refused to barely change anything in the calendar, fitting in PL matches a week after the World Cup.

Stamford Bridge have been strict with it since the start of the season.That's the sensible approach and I've had mine ready since August but I can't imagine it would go down well with some and just lead to chaos when trying to get in the ground.

Surely can't continue on like this. The only way out I see is restricting where players and staff go and who they interact with. They need to act like they did during the last lockdown. But that also might be too harsh and hard on their mental health.Inevitable that they shut it down surely?
Yeah I agree, seems absolutely necessary that they go behind closed doors.Surely can't continue on like this.

Nope.Inevitable that they shut it down surely?
The other problem is the Pl has the minimum 14 player rule but keep postponing games for thresholds far less.Premier League players and club staff will need to take a lateral flow test every day to get into training grounds under new measures agreed on Tuesday to combat the coronavirus Omicron variant.
Closed doors might make sense for the country as a whole but I don't think it would have much of an effect on the players. The players are likely catching it from their own social lives. They need to start bunkering down.Yeah I agree, seems absolutely necessary that they go behind closed doors.
How? Shutting it down doesn’t ease the risks later. Come back, say, 1 month later and we are in the exact position as we are now with less time to rescheduleInevitable that they shut it down surely?
Because it’s going to get significantly worse in the next few weeks, also the most intense period of the season and games are getting called off left right and centre.How?

But these games wont disappear. Instead of calling off a few games a week it’ll end up in dozens being called off and being where we are now anyway. Why wouldn’t Watford v Burnley be called off after a few weeks break? Where did the risk lessen?Because it’s going to get significantly worse in the next few weeks, also the most intense period of the season and games are getting called off left right and centre.
being a tad bit dramatic here. There’s been three games called off. Which I think is one less than a year ago around the same period.Because it’s going to get significantly worse in the next few weeks, also the most intense period of the season and games are getting called off left right and centre.

Okay then.being a tad bit dramatic here. There’s been three games called off. Which I think is one less than a year ago around the same period.
You should have seen the thread discussing whether it should have restarted...Swear some people want the games to be off, it’s horrendous but can’t be dealt with, some are being completely dramatic with calling the whole season off
UK just recorded its highest cases per day ever. In a week’s time every game will be called off because players and staff will be getting covid left and right.being a tad bit dramatic here. There’s been three games called off. Which I think is one less than a year ago around the same period.
This will happen unless they are tighter with testing and distancing in training. Which they’ve started to be so let’s see.UK just recorded its highest cases per day ever. In a week’s time every game will be called off because players and staff will be getting covid left and right.
Oh ok. In that case yeah. Premier league will be probably suspended. Tomorrow they’ll probably announce a two month lay off. By then covid will have reduced, testing and distancing protocols will finally be in place and then they can start again.UK just recorded its highest cases per day ever. In a week’s time every game will be called off because players and staff will be getting covid left and right.
Why? The only reason it got called off the first time is because there was no testing capacity.The season will be put on pause I assume, things are escalating quickly.
