Its probably a good time to ban half and half scarves.
Not for coronavirus but just because they are shit.

I hope they don't ban Nescafe handshakes, or my primary method of communication will go up the spout.

West Ham and Chelsea fans offering each other out but remaining metres apart obviously saw this coming.

I really hope it doesn't affect any of our games.

It's affected me and my lad. He was supposed to be mascot tonight but Villa have made the decision to restrict access to the players from the public. All other games in the Prem had mascots the weekend so bit annoying. Promised another game though when it's all blown over.

The Government are partly to blame for the spread of the Disease.They have allowed flights to arrive unchecked from Northern Italy for weeks!
 
People keep laughing the situation off "it's only a cold" but it's a worrying time for those of us that work in the Travel/Leisure/Entertainment industry. Virtually all shows at the NEC have been postponed putting hundreds of Casual Workers out of work for a few months

I'd be very surprised if we see Villa in action at Villa Park this weekend and the knock on from that means lots of staff without pay and 40,000 people frustrated they can't see their Team in action. I wonder if Season Ticket Holders will be refunded for the games that end up being played behind closed doors?

I would have thought that if someone in the team or close to them gets it then they'll probably all get it, which could force the FA to make some rules up on the spot. I would think it's probably 50:50 at the moment before someone in the premier league gets it. My stats that is, nothing sensible.

Oh no ! Like to think that will be honoured and when occasion comes will be enjoyable and maybe some luck brought too !!
Let us know updates when you get the match.
And sorry to hear that isn't going ahead tonight for you and son

All French league one games to be played behind closed doors for at least 4 weeks just announced. Only a matter if time until it happens here as well.

This could have massive implications for us.

Cancel the Euros till next year, bin next years Nations League rubbish and suspend the league for a month.

The prospect of not being able to go and watch us, speaking as an addict, is making my teeth itch. Far better to inconvenience Ingerlund.

Prem games to go on as normal.  I reckon they might review this in a few weeks if things get worse.

Well things being worse isn't good for anyone
And I think responsibility and prevention to things getting worse needs to be taken into account.
Go the way of Italian Serie A

I certainly don't see England Italy being played as they won't play it behind closed doors so it will probably be cancels at end of month.

What happens if a couple of players test positive - presumably you then have team mates having to self isolate?

I reckon there is a decent chance of that they would then cancel the season.

Thanks for that. He was gutted, especially as Leicester had 4 mascots out there kicking about on the pitch before the game which he should have been doing too. Made no sense to me as the Leicester mascots walked past our players anyway!

Credit to Leicester though, I had emailed them to say George couldn't do it and they put a message on the screen and read it out on the tannoy saying "A special warm welcome tonight to George Davies, we hope you have a great night" which I thought was a great touch.

They have said he will be first choice for an away game once it is all over just sad to think it may be next season now and he really wanted to walk out with Jack. :(

They also had about 50 kids holding up that giant Leicester shirt.
