Staging Football contradicts current lockdown law, will only encourage fans to break such lockdown as fans will attend stadium forcing Police to attend.
We will have people then attending parks to play football, a further risk of spreading the virus.
Having NHS staff at empty stadiums is a complete waste of time and effort when people are dying.
I find it a insult when i hear of deaths of friends and families dying to covid 19, that football will make us feel better, it is just stupid!
