My friend has been sent this from another friend who has got quite a lot of football things right before, he is sceptical but does acknowledge the timeline makes sense, another of my friends who works for BT has said they have been told to prep for a June start for football as well.
Premier league is back in June. I have a lead from someone who works for a sport travel agency that manages logistics for some top teams (spurs, city, wolves, newcastle, rangers to name a few). The company has been tasked to arrange hotels and travel for 8 weeks starting mid may.
All premier league teams will play their remaining games at st georges park behind closed doors and for TV only. The complex will host 2/3 games a day that will be streamed live.
The players will go into isolation mid may at select hotels in the vicinity of st georges and will train at local clubs grounds. They will not be able to see family and friends during the period of games. Each player will be tested regulary to ensure safety and hotels will be locked down for players only.
Looks like we are going to have a world cup style June with loads of games to watch.
It could all be *******s but equally, one of the many many ideas that has come out has to be correct.

its the best idea they can come up with.
The UK is the biggest covid 19 hotspot outside of America!
The figures are manipulated massively and it will come back to bite Boris in the arse once the truth gets out.
The new Labour leader will be able to stroll along to number 10 and take over when the truth is exposed.

Not all countries compile statistics the same way. Some barely even bother.

Boris has 5 years in power.
He doesn't have to call an election, he has an 80 majority.
By the time of hte next election, there will be numerious things Labour have done that can be used against them under Sir Keir Starmer.
If this had happened year 3 or 4 i'd agree with you but at this stage of the govt. cycle. . . I seriously doubt it.
I have been wrong many times before though

Apparently, we've joined Belgium in including care home deaths. Spain and Italy do not.
