Much tighter control is needed if teams are to reduce the incidence of cross infection. I haven’t hugged my two daughters or my two grandsons for nine months now! Surely the players can exercise some control and reduce the risks!

aye yer right but many players are as numb as they come.

Good idea from Germany third tier side Dynamo Dresden, cup game asked supporters to buy a ticket for £5, game was played BCD they sold 72000 that's £360000 in the clubs coffers.

You are more than likely correct Andy, but I imagine all Clubs are flaunting the rules....

Why is that a good idea ? Northing different to asking fans to make a donation.

Like that idea Andy, could see variations of that happening at clubs soon, any income will be helpful to them

Lancashire is the only County Ive seen anyone capable of peeling an orange in their pocket.

Why not try it then ?

Here is a good place to start.

£5 donation every time we play with no crowd.

Let’s see how many disappear into their shells !!!
