Out of interest if the home games were played at WHL is there anyone on here that would try and go to be near the ground? If that starts happening it will cause problems but I was wondering if anyone would still do this even if against advice?

I know that's always been one of the concerns but to be honest I genuinely don't understand why anyone would do that. For me you'd have to be a spectacular saddo to schlepp across London to stand at the side of a road next to a load of closed shops for circa 3 hours. I don't understand the point at all, sorry

Maybe there'll be a handful of people who turn up but they'd be fairly easy to move on.

Big few days numbers wise imo. Any effect from release of lockdown we’d start to see about now in new cases. Been hard to judge with weekend and bank holiday. Today numbers will be interesting.

When/If season restarts in front of empty stands hope someone at Spurs is going to make full use of our state of the art sound system by getting crowd noise over the system when we are attacking and complete silence when opposition have the ball.

Ramsdale could have been infected up to 2/3 days before the negative test too so he could have theoretically spent a day or two infecting a number of players/staff.

Tests every day is the only thing that makes sense.

They still haven't been in contact with any other player, training in groups of max 5, but distancing only, so no infection pass on should have taken place yet.

I hope not, genuinely think having fake crowd noises is worse than silence

It shouldn't have no, but with contact training coming soon, it shows how easily someone who is infectious for 3 days could easily be mixing it with plenty of other people.

Is it a show stopper? not for me, does it highlight an area needed for improvement to make everyone involved feel safer for them and their families? Yes.

I suppose we will see what the rules and precautions to be implemented are when the contact training gets approved today (plus next batch of test results today also)

Premier League Shareholders today voted unanimously to resume contact training - marking another step towards restarting the Premier League season, when safe to do so.

Squads are now able to train as a group and engage in tackling while minimising any unnecessary close contact.

The Premier League’s priority is the health and wellbeing of all participants. Strict medical protocols are in place to ensure the training ground is the safest environment possible and players and staff will continue to be tested for COVID-19 twice a week.

Stage Two of the Return to Training protocol has been agreed following consultation with clubs, players, managers, the PFA, LMA and the Government. Discussions are ongoing as work continues towards resuming the season, when conditions allow.

Can anyone else picture strikers being marked closely starting to innocently cough? That extra 2 metres of space between them and a worried defender might be just the ticket....

4 new cases with all the measures and not even started contact training yet. Considering the new rules surely if 1 player gets it the whole squad have to self isolate ?

Also local governments will have ability to classify the surrounding area lockdown zone if they wish, and barrier it off. I don't think people turning up at grounds (whether home, away or neutral) will be major issue apart from maybe the game Liverpool play to win League.
Every game being on TV assists massively here

I would be more interested in hanging around the ground than watching the game on TV. What I actually will do remains to be seen.
