If it were a question of lockdown finishing and sporting events starting straight up, I think there would be a huge surge with people rushing back to celebrate a joyful re-commencement of life. Imagine the roar as the teams emerge from the tunnel for the first time... However, as it appears that the release from lockdown is going to be a drawn out process and football is likely to restart under some strange, unnatural conditions, it might just all be a bit of a damp squib.
