tannerall 25,935 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 What's the score with these games being televised live ? If not allowed, can delayed transmission or highlights be shown ? Has it happened before ? With the way we have been playing recently would some fans prefer to be watching it from behind closed doors anyway ?

pcbear 10,913 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 How do the clubs stand due to the loss of revenue when these situations occur? a full house at any stadium will = a huge chunk of money with the ticket sales/hospitality/ food outlets/merchandise etc etc the local pubs/shops/bookies will also take a dunt, it will have a fair old knock on effect.

It will mate, however I think we are in new territory here with this virus, I don't think the revenue of football clubs is anywhere near being a priority.

tannerall 25,935 Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Just realised traditionally behind closed doors were punishments, so maybe tv was banned, but this time it is circumstance so should be no reason for them not to be televised. Imagine games being shown in the local IMAX, ice cream, hot dogs and popcorn being thrown at the screen every time Morelos gets a card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EatDolphins 5,355 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Theres talk of making all games free to air if it comes to closed doors. Pubs and clubs would be banned from showing them as well to prevent crowds getting together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

born a blue nose 90,751 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I’ve watched a game or 2 behind closed doors so imagine we can still watch it. Be prepared for it to be absolutely shite though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct but I bet for loads of small businesses the big match income might well be the difference between surviving and going bust, someone from Braga the town said in the few days The Rangers were in town made up their income for the winter season. I hope this blows over pretty swiftly or it has the potential to cause absolute chaos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get you 100% ,but the people making the big decisions maybe don't see it that way, controlling that bloody virus is their priority, quite rightly, they will worry about business later, and as you say, for many it might be too late.

esquire8 42,445 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Think the Italians have quickly found out that closed doors week after week won't work. Either postpone it or cancel n void it. Regardless of our situation currently I can see all the leagues being stopped soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bells weren't very loud so he decided to take big runs at the big bell thumping his head on it., First few times it worked, third time he slipped and smacked his face across the bell with a loud clang, and skidded out the gap. plunging in to the River Seine, then drowned. A gendarme who was on early shift saw the body and pulled it out the river as the priest was coming in to the church for the morning service. The gendarme said to the priest " Do you know who this man is ?" Priest replied "I don't know his name, but his face rings a bell" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretically business interruption insurance could cover it. Not sure what the script is for pandemic events though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
