Coronavirus in sport

BREAKING

Russell Foster Girls Youth League fixtures are off tomorrow.

Vince Carter's tweet got me thinking:
 

A lot of sports are shutting down for a month but that might be really generous, especially here in the US.  Let's say mass gatherings are just straight up deemed unsafe until a vaccine is out, which could take most if not all of the year.  In that scenario, sports basically don't happen unless leagues move to empty stadiums.

Just imagining guys like Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and other older players throughout all leagues...taking a full year off at this stage might be career-ending.

I think they've gone a bit overcautious given the Stockton Town senior side seem to be still playing. I doubt our 6 players plus a similar number of parents would have been an issue.

Are you all now the highest tier still playing?!

[Gazz]

Probably, I'm expecting at least 20,000 there on Sunday.

[Colly]

As it stands National League and below are still playing. It's actually a decent opportunity for them to get a good turnout as much as that's probably not a great idea...

[Lineker]

London marathon has been postponed until October.

[LL!]

Can't believe sports signed coronavirus to a contract. 

[Colly]

Northern League is off. Gazz's mob are the only league playing in the whole country.

[Baddar]

UEFA are apparently considering playing the remainder of the Champions League and Europa League knock-out fixtures over one leg instead of two.

NOW TV, begging me not to temporarily cancel my monthly Sky Sports pass by plugging matches that have already been cancelled.

Thanks to all the Premier League and EFL postponements, Meadow Lane had the highest football attendance in the country today. For one day, Notts County were the biggest club in England.

[FLiam]

I only just signed up to ESPN+ last week to catch some Championship football and NHL.

Match postponed due to waterlogged pitch.

[Colly]

Games gone.

[MDK]

Still, highlights of the National League were on the beeb last night. 

[Gazz]

Notts County vs Eastleigh will be a pub quiz question for years to come.

Assuming Pub quizzes exist post-apocalypse...

Hull beat Leverkusen at Twitter Connect 4 last night. Should have had that on instead of MOTD.

Bristol City best Willem II at Connect 4 about an hour ago.

Love the lax policies in place for clubs to qualify for European competition in Connect 4.
