I'm going to the football tonight attended by fans travelling from the biggest hit area of Germany.  The return leg is currently to be played behind closed doors, but the competition is at risk of being cancelled anyway with a meeting tomorrow.  Probably a meaningless game tonight and a strange atmosphere. :-\

DO NOT GO, don't risk, all competitions will never be completed this season, maybe even next season is at risk

The haters are those who write shit

Went to the game and looks like it was the last game this season!  The football authorities are now at odds with what to do.  It's not due to peak here for another 12-14 weeks and players contracts will have expired and no time to play the remaining games.  They will have to declare the season null and void with winners and relegation places still to be decided. 

The financial consequences for the smaller clubs here will no doubt put some out of business.

Whatever happens they will find a method to complete at least the domestic season, even if they delay next years. Promotion to the PL for example is worth 20/30 mil per club. The litigation surrounding an abandoned season would be (like covid 19) unprecedented.

I understand what you're saying but I can't see how, and that's not how they're starting to talk here now.  The player's union have said there will be no games played behind closed doors so it rules that out.  Some players contracts will be up in May too so the games would have to be played before then.  Last time anything like this happened was during WWII and even then the league was completed, just not officially counted.

Nothing wrong with discussing it I think.  England and most leagues in Europe are run by TV money but most clubs in Scotland survive week to week basically on gate receipts, even in the Premiership, so this will have a dramatic effect on football with a knock-on effect to associated businesses such as catering, local pubs, transport etc.

There's a lot of alarmism here in Italy about UK Government decision to allow the Covid to spread
