It's quite a realistic possibility to be honest. Although they can watch the match at home, they're probably just considering the likelihood of crowds gathering to celebrate when it is confirmed you'll win the league, and it is a 'when' scenario, not an 'if'. The routes can be blocked off but then the the crowds may still gather in front of those roadblocks. It goes for any ground, to be honest. Block wherever you want but crowds still could gather. It's what is at stake though - Liverpool about to win their first league in 30 years regardless of circumstance, people still want to celebrate. I get that there will be a minority who think they can do it, I think it'll be just that though, a small minority. It will be easy to move people on. I don't buy that thousands will turn up en masse
LFCMike Posted May 29, 2020 Posted May 29, 2020 Also, why is this just restricted to Liverpool and London derbies? What about teams fighting relegation?

Administrator Stan Posted May 29, 2020 Administrator Posted May 29, 2020 Rodgers has revealed he was one of the 3 in our club who got Coronavirus early on (around start of April I think).
LFCMike Posted May 29, 2020 Posted May 29, 2020 Man City v Newcastle, Man Utd v Sheffield United. Am I missing something obvious with these games?
LFCMike Posted May 29, 2020 Posted May 29, 2020 Deputy Chief Constable from South Yorkshire Police is behind this. Explains a lot. Merseyside Police happy for Liverpool and Everton games to take place where they should be

There’s not a cat in hells chance you’re blocking off every route to that stadium.

Merseyside Police happy for Liverpool and Everton games to take place where they should be Tbf to the Deputy Chief Constable, he's been known to engage with fan representatives... including Spirit of Shankley. He should maybe look into revisiting engaging with fan representatives again to guarantee safety. Because otherwise it could very be taken as South Yorkshire Police pretending like they give a fuck about the safety of Liverpool fans by big groups of people and will build up further resentment against them.

Honey Honey Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 There is now only one Premier League club left who haven't refunded supporters tickets for this season. No prizes for guessing it is us. With all the staff on furlough no one to give people their money back in these hard times.

MUFC Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 Just remember, if you get a call from a track and tracer telling you to quarantine for 14 days, and asking who you have been in contact with, here's your list; Klopp Alisson Robertson Trent Alexander Wijnaldum Van Dyik Lovren Milner Henderson Salah Mane Firmino

Weirdly, all from United fans. Not gonna lie, I'm desperately envious of Liverpool knowing they got them on the end of their rod at the moment

Smiley Culture Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 Do we know when the remaining fixtures are released?

Administrator Stan Posted June 3, 2020 Administrator Posted June 3, 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52904364 Amazon to air their games for free when season restarts. Quote Amazon Prime will make its four Premier League games free-to-air when the season restarts. Fans will not need a Prime membership to watch fixtures on the online streaming service when the top-flight campaign resumes from 17 June. Every one of the remaining 92 Premier League games will be broadcast live across Sky Sports, BT Sport, BBC Sport or Amazon Prime. In total, 33 of those matches will be free-to-air. Alex Green, managing director of Prime Video Sport Europe, said: "Like the rest of the country, we are excited to see the Premier League return to action. "We will be making all four of Amazon Prime Video's additional fixtures in the 2019-20 season available free of charge; fans will not need a Prime membership to view the games on Prime Video." In May, it was announced that four Premier League games will be broadcast, free to air, live on BBC Sport when the season resumes. It will be the first time the BBC has shown live Premier League matches, and the first time the broadcaster has shown any live top-flight football since 1988. Sky Sports will make 25 of the remaining top-flight matches free to air, including the Merseyside derby on the first weekend after the resumption - 19-21 June.
Smiley Culture Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 This whole Friendlies thing is bizarre. They don’t want teams going more than 90 minutes away but in less than two weeks, that goes to pot and teams travel all over.
Administrator Stan Posted June 3, 2020 Administrator Posted June 3, 2020 One positive test from Spurs.
Smiley Culture Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Five subs approved then. It would be interesting to see how the votes are going and who is for and against what, because I would have thought that this one would have been harder to get through than other suggestions. Fourth place isn’t sorted, four points separate 6th-11th and the Europa League places and four points separate 15th-19th. That’s well over the majority. With that in mind, if a team in the relegation zone win a game against another relegation rival thanks to a goal by Sub 4 or 5 and another relegation rival failed to beat that team earlier in the season with three subs, is it actually fair?
Administrator Stan Posted June 4, 2020 Administrator Posted June 4, 2020 Merseyside Derby set to be 7pm on Sunday evening on 21st June.

It’s more fair than just relegating the bottom 3 as it stands isn’t it? No solution is going to be totally fair. 5 subs is probably to limit injury since most of the players, if not all of them, won’t be match fit in time for the season to resume.
