@owlstalk Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 The Premier League welcomed the UK government's decision to allow pro sports to return under strict conditions from Monday. The United Kingdom government has permitted the return of competitive sport behind closed doors from Monday, with Premier League chief executive Richard Masters welcoming the decision. Masters said: "The Premier League welcomes the government's announcement today [Saturday]. All major sports, including the Premier League, have been working together with the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to produce this stage three protocol. "We could not have reached this point without the full support of the government, especially DCMS, Public Health England and the chief medical officer's team. "We have provisionally planned to restart the Premier League on June 17, but there is still much work to be done to ensure the safety of everyone involved. "This includes consulting with our clubs, players and managers - along with all our other stakeholders - as the health and welfare of our participants and supporters is our priority. "If all goes well, we will be thrilled to resume the 2019-20 season in just over two weeks' time." Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be out cutting the lawn instead, if you haven’t got one mine needs doing. Talk about putting words in people’s mouths. I love football but this is bringing out everything that’s wrong with the game and it all comes back to money. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's just your own personal and inaccurate perception then? Thought so. Let's crack on with the topic/subject and not carry on with this nonsense Who's ready/excited for football returning?

asteener1867 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I wanted them to stop the season as it was...lets face it..we are in a mess Sure I'll be excited when Wednesday play...but its tinged with worry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 One thing I do hope is that when it's safe for fans to return to football, that all fans are allowed to go in. The thought of the first game back after this awful outbreak makes me think just what an emotional occasion it will be. One thing is for sure, sadly there will be a few seats in the ground that will now be empty, Owlstalk readers amongst the ones we've lost recently. 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 If we where playing well and winning games before the season was halted I still wouldn’t want the season to restart yet. While people are still dying from this horrible virus football is a risk that doesn’t need to be taken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themagiccap Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Cannot wait. Would go to ground to watch if they open it with no concerns. not everyone will agree and I respect your opinion but that's my two pence worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quoted two posts which stated the reason for returning was all about money and two which said it was irresponsible. Nothing to do with Sheffield Wednesday specifically. It’s you who is trying to turn the discussion into a Sheffield Wednesday issue which isn’t what the thread YOU posted is about. So no, what I said isn’t inaccurate but just a personal opinion which is the whole point of a forum surely? Or is it?

What did you think of it? Some have said they switched off after five minutes as they couldn't stand it Others said they enjoyed watching the standard of football regardless of lack of atmosphere Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcowl Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Well I'm excited about football coming back. I'm sure it will be a bit crap without he crowds though. I'd quite happily go to a match tomorrow if we were allowed. Although in Scotland we're still only allowed to drive 5 miles. Might be a bit further for an eye test though. I'll have to check 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickjj Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 1 hour ago, @owlstalk said: Premier League clubs have been told games will still go ahead once the season restarts even if they are down to just 15 fit players, it has emerged. West Ham vice-chair Karen Brady has revealed the subject of depleted squads was discussed in Thursday’s conference call between clubs after Bundesliga teams reported a spike in strains and short-term muscle injuries following the resumption of football in Germany. Apart from the likelihood of more injuries after a three-month lay-off, clubs are aware that anyone testing positive for coronavirus would have to be withdrawn and isolated, so it is not inconceivable that 25-man squad lists could quickly lose half a dozen or more players. What happens with the Government's new track and trace scheme? If one player or backroom staff tests positive then everyone they have been in contact with has to isolate for fourteen days. That would include opposing teams they have played, match officials etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how that works if one of the hotel staff has it and passes it onto one/a few of them though Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
