    EPL in Australia?

    Waste of thought time as it won't happen.

    Whilst Western Australia has had no new virus cases for around one week and there is a relaxation on social interaction (not more than 10, mind) our borders are still shut both regionally across WA; Nationally and Internationally.

    If you can make it to WA you have to go into 2 weeks isolation.

    There is still no sport, cinemas, theaters and many shops are still closed (although there has been a "light" reopening of some).

    Crowds are still not allowed so games would be held behind closed doors.

    Nice place Australia but offers EPL just a single state safe environment and good weather.

    And that's hardly worth the effort right now.

    Just another crackpot idea then?

    Dreamed up by a football agent locked up in Perth due to international shut down over here.

    He has "EPL mates" that he contacted and the reaction was good from them (apparently).

    It got media attention and social media exposure but was a non-event as far as the WA Premier was concerned.

    With the Australian Rules Football (an Australian game not our football) shut down the EPL concept it hasn't generated interest over here.

    After all, if you can't watch it "live" it doesn't matter where it is broadcast so why the upheaval and travel expense, etc coming here?
