But mainly I just brainstorming ideas on ways they might be able to get onto the pitch and play behind closed doors while (a) supporters get to see their games and (b) they can maximise their revenues so or at least cover their expenses 
I know what you mean. But sadly if LOI was the only sport on TV during the lockdown the vast majority of Irish football fans still wouldn't watch itCry

Is anyone looking forward to football resuming?
Can't say I've much interest in watching half-hearted players playing training ground type matches in empty grounds. That's what the majority of games will be. They talk of teams in midtable already being on the beach towards the end of a season when theres nothing to play for. Will be even worse for the remainder of this season
 
Actually thought I would miss it more than I have. There's been the odd midweek night where I've thought to myself i'd love to be sitting down to watch a CL knockout game, but haven't really thought about it much.

Glorious weather for the return of the Bundesliga 1and 2.
May watch some of the conference this afternoon to see what it looks like.

If still in normal times would be heading to the Grünwalder stadion to watch 1860 Vs Ingolstadt

Funny that with the Bundesliga returning today all I've heard and read are positives.
When the EPL returns no doubt it'll all be about the "shameless greed" of these clubs putting lives at risk and only thinking of money

Troy Deeney saying he won't be going back into training to  avoid  any possible risk of passing the virus onto his family.

Fair play to Deeney. Seems to be one of the few top level footballers who is living in the real world when it comes to returning to play.

His child is sick, so you can understand his reluctance about catching covid 19 and bringing it back into his own house.

So he kept me soul for ransom.

Yep dont get Brighton at all as they seem hell bent to try and get the Premier league canned for the season as they see it as their only way out of the dreaded drop .

Rightly justified too seeing as Mariappa and 2 other staff members at Watford have tested positive.
