They have to travel in individual cars (assume they can all drive?). I can just picture long convoys of premier league teams - players and other staff - travelling up and down our motorways I hope none of ours break down (not in a Lamela way) en route.

Hugo will have to get a lift!

Premier League stadiums are to be divided into three zones with various restrictions as clubs prepare for a return to action, reveals West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady.

Following a three month absence due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Premier
League is to resume its campaign on June 17, with safety - of all concerned - the top priority.

Premier League clubs met on Thursday to discuss the logistics of the return, with Brady subsequently explaining just how the stadiums will be split using a 'red, amber and green' system.
Only those who have tested negative for Covid-19 in the previous five days will be allowed access to the red zone - the most severely restricted area - with a "Clinical Passport System" being created.

"We are now in the process of agreeing the matchday protocols, which will include everything from zoning the stadium into red, amber and green zones," Brady said in her column in the Sun.
"Red zone will be the most severely restricted area, including the pitch, the tunnel, technical areas, changing rooms will be limited to 105 people maximum, to include players, coaching staff, match officials and all the essential staff only.
"And only those who have tested negative for Covid-19 in the past five days can enter this area. We will be creating a Clinical Passport System for those who will need to have access to the red zone.

"The amber zone will be restricted to the minimum number of staff required to meet contractual requirements for broadcasting, media and club staff.
"This area includes all interior areas within the stadium and anyone entering this area will be subject to a temperature check and a health questionnaire.

"And the green zone is the stadium exterior, eg car parking.

She added: "In all areas, social distancing needs to be observed and a series of one-way systems and other procedures need to be incorporated to ensure that it is.
"This includes in the dressing room (save for 15 minutes for the pre-match tactical talk by the manager) and the showers.

"A new strict accreditation process will be developed, including an isolation room should someone unfortunately develop symptoms of Covid-19 whilst within the stadium.

"We also have to ensure players refrain from spitting and everything must be disinfected, including the corner flags and match balls. There can be no sharing of drinks and no hand shaking."

Brady added: "So we are in good shape. We are ready. We are raring to go."

So what are they going to do if this happens to a PL player once the season is back under way?

 

[Baleforce]

that depends on who they play for

They'll be banished to Karren Brady's Red Zone

 

[scaramanga]

And if City have dropped enough points yet.

Is there a massive gap between the purple bits outside and the softer bit in the middle?

I heard Brady allowed the Dildo Brothers, access to the brown zone.










Where’s my coat..

Does anyone know the date of the end of the season? I can't find it - probably just being a numpty

I think I've read somewhere it's the day Liverpool have enough points to be uncatchable.

The Prem players donation fund to the NHS has gone very quiet.
It seemed such a cop out anyway - donations are anonymous, no minimum amount, not compulsory for players to donate at all etc - they seem to have got away with the initial furore around taking a full wage while club staff were on reduced pay / furloughed / laid off.

They are giving us the cash back for those five games
I don't have Sky Sports anymore so quite happy to be able to watch the United/West Ham games legally
