I remember when they signed the latest TV deal, it was widely reported all clubs could let fans in for free for a season and they'd still be better off than under the old deal. I imagine sponsors are queuing up to have banners in the empty seats too. I agree, if they were struggling they wouldn't be able to afford the transfer fees & contracts. Frankly since the pandemic began I've found a lot of what's come out of the EPL, EFL & PFA to be nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sMacLean Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Excellent. Many other sports have been running low capacity crowds for ages and football has had crowds in Poland and other places too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwë Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 PL clubs will lose revenue from losing fans, approx 14m a year watch a game. Even at £20 a game, that's a sizeable amount of money, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed not a majority but still an awful lot of people Correct & there's talk of the number being increased to 4.5m if shielding is reintroduced nationwide.

West Ham were the main example of being better off without having supporters in the stadium. Will try to dig out the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themagiccap Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Just released figures show 78 deaths last week, but when you consider on average around 1600-1650 people die daily in the UK that (taking 1625 as an average death figure) means that just 0.69% are associated to the illness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who had it early doors and was pretty ill with the damn thing I only hope that we keep it under control. It was incredibly contagious and lots of family and friends got it from the same original source. One person died, some others had heart attacks and strokes and I am talking men in their fifties here. Some just have no idea. We have lost 45,000 people in the UK since March and its infected over 6 million worldwide. I can't really be assssd to argue with Covidiots, you can just tell the type. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernOwl Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 26 minutes ago, AwokenGiant said: No second wave and economic problems though. They still have restrictions in place and they are still managing the situation. They haven't returned to normal. The only difference is they can get away with looser restrictions due a low density population. We have less wiggle room. They also of course have a greater rate of immunity due to not locking down initially. But again we didn't have that option without collapsing the nhs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is not death levels now but it's what they will progress to if left unchecked. Obviously we need to keep life and the economy going as much as we can. But letting the virus run out of control is not an option that we should be considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like most of the media, you don’t know what it means. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
