Interesting to see if the Premier League backtrack on their statement from a couple of hours ago. Surely they will.
People can choose not to attend. At the moment medical advice is that big crowds are unlikely to increase the risk.
Yet a lot of other countries feel the increase in risk is enough to stop playing. Why risk lives on something that's 'unlikely' over something as unimportant as football in the grand scheme of things?
Mendy is also self isolating after a family member having symptoms. Makes you wonder about real reason for cancelling Man City V Arsenal match. Read/heard somewhere that mentioned each time the FA meet to discuss what to do SKY attend too.
This..... I am concerned of course I am, like everyone else should be and is. But I will continue to follow the experts advice. As things currently stand I will be attending the game Saturday using public transport until the government or expert advice tells us not to.
As I say the choice is there not to attend. Playing behind closed doors hadnt worked for France for eg. The crowds gathered anyway.
I thought they said the extra risk was minimal compared to stopping, so little to be achieved by stopping it.
Even if the risk is minimal or tiny or miniscule or any other word, why accept even that much additional risk over something so completely unimportant as football? I know the answer is money.
Bulldog spirit is being shown that we are supposedly known for. Show must go on and all that. People can decide for themselves if they want to not attend something.
