Sports authorities and broadcasters have been summoned by the government for discussions on coronavirus contingency plans - as the Premier League considers banning over-70s at matches. The meetings will be held in London on Monday and will cover various possibilities in case the virus spreads further. On what could happen to the Premier League, Sky News' sports correspondent Martha Kelner said: "The Premier League is prepared for the possibility that Public Health England will advise that some fixtures this season will have to be played behind closed doors, as has been the case in other European leagues like Italy and Morocco. ------------- Double Maxim without doubt the greatest drink in the world |

There's a new craze sweeping Manchester United fans everywhere. They've cut out handwashing and taken to rubbing their hands off random surfaces such as door knobs and taps, and then patting other people on the mouth without warning. All this is an effort to rapidly spread the Coronavirus to such an extent that the Premier League is abandoned before Liverpool can win it. These superspreading United fans may end up killing themselves or more likely their grandparents by doing all this, but that's a small price to pay - just think of the unreal bragging rights they'll have when Liverpool are denied the title! ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

Sporting events in Britain are unlikely to be affected by coronavirus in the immediate future, says Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden. Governing bodies and broadcasters will meet with government officials later on Monday to discuss the staging of events behind closed doors if the outbreak worsens and mass gatherings are banned. Dowden said "At this stage we're not in the territory of cancelling or postponing events." He added fans should not be barred. ------------- Double Maxim without doubt the greatest drink in the world |
