Premier League 2019/20

[Baddar]

I haven't heard neutral grounds be thrown about in the past week or two so I assume the games will be where the original fixtures were intended.

[Tigerstyle]

I feel that own grounds is fair, as long as it’s controlled heavily and teams get obscene fines if they don’t stick to cleanliness guidelines.

[Chris2K]

I'd say points deductions rather than fines. I don't think the clubs can be blamed if fans decide to be idiots and ignore what I'm sure will be strict instructions to maintain social distancing, and fines won't mean a thing to them, whereas their team losing points might dissuade them.

[Colly]

I doubt any team would shirk on the cleanliness guidelines for nefarious footballing reasons. General cheapness yes (there's rats in my stand...), but player areas will be fine.

I'm fairly resigned to Newcastle being the last club to refund supporters, if they do at all.

[DavidMarrio]

Tbf not having fans is probably the cleanest Prem grounds will have been in years

One of the Utd news sites on Twitter just posted that 25 of Sky's 64 remaining games will be free-to-air. I'd wait for official confirmation but that's good if so.

Yup

The Merseyside derby will be free to air through Sky.

I can live with that, I've got BT plus a Sky Mobile pass. I can miss an odd Amazon game and squint at the odd Sky one. Football!

[Adam]

Does that mean I can watch the Sky games through Now TV? Not got a box or even an aerial here.

I'm glad they're doing that though, it makes sense I reckon. Probably do record numbers of viewers even without it!

[Baddar]

Do you get Sky Sports Mix through Now TV? I'd imagine that will be the channel that will carry the free matches, along with the main Sky Sports PL one.

[Gazz]

Being able to watch 12 games a week is going to cost me my girlfriend...

[Baddar]

I'm glad mine loves playing Sims because I'm going to be watching a lot of football next month with La Liga returning as well. 

It was meant to be a Euro's summer anyway. 🤷‍♂️

[Gazz]

Not a bad shout, might just buy her all the Two Point Hospital DLC

[Baddar]

She's been playing that on my laptop too. 🤣

I read yesterday it would be on Pick. That's a Freeview channel, isn't it?

[Baddar]

I believe so, yeah.

June feels ages away (even if it is next week) 

[Baddar]

It's being reported that on the request of the police, Man Utd v Sheffield United (plus 5 other fixtures) will be played at neutral venues.

Basically all games involving teams from the North as we are uncultured and cannot be trusted
