MailSport has claimed they have the contingency plan for EPL football as the government get set to hit the delay phase button in the fight against Coronavirus.
The paper are reporting the English Premiership games are set to go into lockdown with matches being played behind closed doors until the virus has peaked.
Right now, this is just England’s plan but it’s hard to see a scenario where the Scottish football authorities follow suit.
Mail Sport writes the repercussions of the virus:
• Every football game in England will reportedly be held behind closed doors
• No games are to be shown in pubs and will be streamed live to ticket holders
• Government plans to combat coronavirus spread could be unveiled on Thursday
• A Cobra meeting is expected to move the official response to the ‘delay’ phase
• This will result in a crisis plan being unveiled for football
When it’s comes to our own football, it will likely be the same.
This would take effect immediately promoting the Glasgow Derby to be played behind closed doors this Sunday.
The health of the public is at serious risk and with the numbers Italy are reporting, the U.K. can’t be idle any longer.
This is a major challenge and operation for all involved. Hopefully, something gets put in place so fans can watch the game live at home.
It appears Celtic could clinch nine in a row in surreal circumstances.
