Just thinking what will happen, as is quite likely, if the Covid-19 crisis goes on for several months? Abandonment of the season? Playing games behind closed doors? If they abandon the season, what then, the position the team is in seals their fate? What about teams with games in hand eg Villa or would there simply be no movement between divisions? I guess the games will simply have to be played in empty stadiums and broadcast.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Not awoke
No ones really given it a moments thought
Bit surprised, really, that there hasn't been a couple of threads about the virus, and its effect on football, on NSC, to be fair.

No it’s strange. And even stranger is that no-one is posting on points required thread.

It's the upgrade to covid-18, that version wasnt well received even though it had far fewer bugs, there are fears the upgrade contains a nasty virus so it might not be a good idea to install it quite yet

No not at all. China is still in lock down 3 months after the outbreak started. So anyone who thinks this is all going back to normal in a couple of weeks is living in a fantasy. So the question is do the teams continue to play but without spectators or is it like one day cricket, rain stops play and a mathematical algorithm is used.

We are in the midst of a corona virus outbreak, the virus is called Covid-19 or even more accurately SARS–CoV-2. It is not THE corona virus it is A corona virus.

Also I suggest you do the math. the population of the UK is 66 million, if bugger is all done many immunologists suggest a transmission rate of 70%, they also suggest the actual mortality rate is about 1%. Now lets be really kind and suggest there is a 20% transmission rate. 20% of 66 million is 12 million is 120 K deaths, and that is a very conservative figure, using the 70% figure and you are getting close to half a million deaths. So do you really think the football will be back in a couple of weeks?

Trolling wasn't even subtle. Welcome to my select (but growing) list of ignores.

How the F*** is this trolling
Sorry for pointing out the facts and suggesting the reason these measures are being taken is because this is far more serious than seasonal influenza. These figures are if nothing is done and we just let the outbreak run its course.How the F*** is this trolling
Read the second, third and fourth replies. Do you really think no one’s discussed these issues on NSC until your post?

Ooops to be honest I didn't look for other posts, still doesn't make this one trolling, superfluous yes.

You are catching up with HWT’s ignore list, impressive
You say this is such a big thing which no doubt it is. Yet you didn't think on a football forum with football at a standstill anyone would've thought to mention it. Dont buy that at all especially with several posts on vivid 19 and what would happen to the season on the first page of thread titles

I am more surprised that the Brexit thread is nowhere to be found
No-one is disagreeing Nick. You've missed the fact that this is being discussed in NUMEROUS other threads, including:
