Football fans in stadiums

By the time that fans will be allowed back football will be dead. Just like the theatres and cinemas.

with mass unemployment coming people wont have the money either especially the next generation of fans.

The premier league will continue and may even have premier league 2.

the rest of professional football is now gone forever.

There will likely be a rebalance in football word; no different to many other industries but not 'the end' of professional football as we know it

Strong, viable teams will survive through prudent management and decent fan bases, whilst some (many of whom have struggled for some time now) will go by the wayside

A few short years ago, that could/might have included us, so the the usual culprits spout their anti-owner, whether it be Sam, The Riddler and/or Vincent Tan, this might be an opportune moment to consider the positive position we are actually in rather than the negative one we are seemingly not

Based on cover projections, my belief (who really knows though?) is that supporters will be allowed back sometime around late November or maybe around Christmas and whilst we have had a relatively tame start to this season, we will grow stronger in the coming weeks and return to the form of the latter part of last season

No fans until a vaccine. Realistically vaccine roll out spring 2021 to essential workers and the vulnerable. General population late summer autumn 2021.Large gatherings in any sporting capacity 2022.By then the sporting landscape will be unrecognisable. I cannot see the majority of clubs surviving. This virus has changed the world. As for sport without gate revenue the lower leagues will disappear. How many billionaires are going to fling money at a dead product because without fans football is like watching someone fishing off a pier. I hate to sound negative but realistically what else can one say/think?


RIP Sport :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave:
