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...

Exactly. It won't be like coming back from a war and everyone just being able to enjoy it. It's going to be hedged about with all manner of fúckery that will make it much less interesting and in that time, I just think a lot of interest will drift away.
Precisely what I was going to say. Particularly for fans whose clubs are mired in midtable with none of the games being meaningful in any case. Will be very odd
Add in the huge numbers of newly-unemployed and the inevitable reduction in corporate advertising budgets and the whole thing could be in trouble.
And no outrageous flobbing by the players. How will it be managed? Will it be yellow for a flob and a straight red for a nasal clearance?

'Now you're unemployed, all non-void
Walkin' round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd'
100%. I'd rather wait until it can be played as normal tbh even if it meant waiting until next year. All these terrible ideas and compromises are just complete gash.
