Poll: Complete the season at neutral venues behind closed doors

[BlueStevie35]

So is this going ahead?

It is, starts 2 weeks from Wednesday with the two games postponed from the League Cup final weekend, then goes into the fixtures that would have taken place the weekend everything got cancelled after the outbreak across the league

Can’t see me watching any of this tbh.

 

[Brendan Janus]

I can't wait

Ditto.

So if Man City lose to the Arse in the first game then the RS could win the league against us on the first weekend of fixtures?

 

[Jeff Jones]

Yes, it should and that game would be at Goodison. We have a decent record in recent home derbies. It won't quite be the same watching it behind closed doors.

What happened to the neutral ground thing to stop crowds gathering outside the stadium.

Really happy to see the Prem starting again. And games basically every day of the week!! Will be good to see the MOTD highlights and watch some of the bigger games - especially if there is a European spot up for grabs. Can't wait!

Utter madness to even consider having the Derby at goodison. It'll be a magnet to fans.

Don't know why they're keen on using proper stadiums tbh, they should hold the games at a training ground of another premier League club. I'm sure this would've been considered and there's a logical reason not to

Television gantries and all the infrastructure for transmission would need to be installed at training grounds. Remember, this is about money rather than safety.

The Derby should not be held at Goodison for the obvious reasons of it potentially attracting fans and being in close proximity to local residents and a school.

 

[Pabbers]

We will be miles better without the pressure of Goodison.

Strange that every season we average more points at Goodison than we do in away matches.

Then the logical idea is to pick 10 grounds that are easy to isolate from potential fans turning up. The ones that come to mind are the likes of Coventry, Derby, Bolton, Brighton, Stoke, Wigan etc. Grounds that are out of populated areas so you could easily put in place restrictions on people getting too close. They'd have the broadcasting facilities in place ready to go.

Apparently police have asked any game that could decide the title should be played at a neutral venue along with Newcastle V Sheffield (for some reason) all the others involve City and Liverpool.. So the goodison Derby could be somewhere else.

Police request for Liverpool’s potential title win to be played at neutral venue

Up to six Premier League matches could be played at neutral venues, including “the game in which Liverpool could secure the title”.

I won't be watching this garbage, It's absolutely soulless and the integrity is gone, We played them at Anfield and now our remaining game is at possibly Wembley seems pretty fair, No fans no atmosphere not bothered.
