Coronavirus and football.
With upwards of 50,000 Mancs and Brummies making the otherwise unnecessary journey to Wembley last Sunday and about 5000 scousers travelling to London - and many service stations in between - tonight, it’s not difficult to see why questions are being asked about whether sporting events should be being held behind closed doors.
Idle speculation I know, but I’m genuinely waiting for paint to dry...so should it happen and what would be the consequences?
Would Liverpool be less intimidating without the Anfield factor...might it have an impact on MUFC’s challenge to qualify for Europe and would Leeds’ hopes of promotion be derailed without the support of their scarf swingers? Maybe our own occasionally delicate little flowers might perform better without the pressure of actually being watched. Thoughts?
