How much will Coronavirus (COVID-19) impact Aston Villa's season?

[OzVilla]

Considering our away form is shocking so i'm in favour of teams losing their home advantage.  And imagine if we got out of this now, it'd drive the Noses mental.

Pick a fan of each team, play the games using FIFA 20 and input those scores into the final table. We can all watch on Youtube and we might stay up!

Richard E is our man.

Would we be entitled to a partial refund on our season tickets?

[Toronto Villa]

NBA season has been suspended

[ChicagoLion]

Just a matter of time to move behind closed doors and the next step is suspension of the league.

And still you get some going on about the flu while we're seeing stuff that's pretty much unprecedented to most of us. Major countries on shut down, travel restrictions, seasons being suspended, games behind closed doors and so on.

It’s supposed to be a sport, a spectator sport. Without the fans attending what’s the point. Just suspend it.

It will be such a shame if games are played behind closed doors - if they are to be honest, I don't think I would be bothered to watch them or be that interested in the result.

I think they will suspend the season until the middle of April and then play the remaining games over a 6 week period.

The Euros i should imagine will take place next summer.

Are they hiding then potential impacts of it?  I’ve never known anything like it in my lifetime?!

Mid April could well be peak Virus outbreak. 🤷‍♂️

Apparently not, on the basis it’ll be out of control of the clubs.

[sid1964]

i would not be surprised if there was an announcement today, that will mean games played behind closed doors this weekend.

I heard on the radio that the PSG fans turned up in there thousands last night and stood outside their ground, whilst the game was going on.

For me there is more to this virus than we are being told - my mother thinks that Chinese have dug something up from the ground that has started all this (bless her heart!)

[robbo1874]

It’s disrupted celebrity fan Tom Hanks’ holiday on the Gold Coast here in Aus- he’s been diagnosed with it.

[mr underhill]

surely sides in relegation trouble would challenge this? Playing in front of an empty stadium would be a huge disadvantage.

Your mother sid1964 is like most mothers pretty much on the money where life is concerned.  Her theory about the Chinese digging something out of the ground is only a bit inaccurate insofaras the pangolins did the digging in the bat shit before those charming opportunists ate the pangolins.
