[catcherintherye]

Denmark has just outlawed all gatherings of more than 500 people until September and their schools are opening on monday.

Theres no way this season gets finished.

No and they are in a much better position than we are aren't they? And we are in that ballpark for bound closed doors games, I mean it's gatherings of about 300 people.

Theres a UEFA meeting Thursday,they are hoping to get the season finished by August,but also a decision could be made to tell its members they can void without losing Euro spots

Theres a UEFA meeting Thursday, they are hoping to kick the can down the road for another few weeks and hope that national governments or FIFA make a decision to void for them

You spelled a couple of words wrong at the end there fella, fixed them for you.

The schools are only open for the small pupils. It is only to the 5th grade (11-12 years). It looks like the older pupils will be back after the summer.

I doubt 300 people in a stadium designed for 50000 counts as a mass gathering though. They wont be all stood in a group like a crowd at a concert

It’s still 300 people who don’t need to be there at a time like this

Not every ground holds 50,000 though.....even ours and that will be over half the grounds in all the divisions, in just say England, Scotland, that means a lot of people traveling around, at roughly the same time. Also will put a helluva strain on our health service and will put players in danger.

So Dutch football is off until September at the earliest. That’s the first of what you could consider a major league. Let’s hope the dominos start falling one by one shortly.

25 people on a 90x45m football pitch definitely counts as a mass gathering.

Probably have to - They have 2 teams at the top of the table on the same points

Expect the Dutch FA to make their official announcement tomorrow. All expectations are for Aax to get the automatic CL spot (no champion) and AZ to the qualifying rounds. Think the biggest discussion will be about the relegation/promotion issues.

I don’t understand why people just don’t get this ??? honestly people are either incredibly thick or incredibly selfish ... it’s bad enough that my home town is currently infested with holidaymakers who believe it’s their right to come here to see out this pandemic with absolutely no thought given whatsoever to local people or the extra strain on local services whilst they are here. People make my blood boil.
