Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

...
The guy who bought a 'ticket' could press a button and make one of the virtual people chant or cheer or whatever.  

That's an awesome idea. Instead of pressing button for the chant sound, I think it would be more interesting if people could use the virtual people as their speaker and chant themselves thru the app, makes it more realistic and better.

But, every clubs need income, maybe make them buying a ticket even not going to stadium for the match can be a solution. Like giving a 50% discount for buying ticket. In this case maybe fans will accept it to support their clubs.

Fans would still have to pay to stream the matches live, so I doubt much people would be donating to the club. I think most some clubs in leagues that have been cancelled refunded season ticket holders.
If/When matches resumes in England, some sources of revenue would also resume, in match advertisement on stadium screens for example.

There would be a lot of strange sounds heard in the stadium should this be applied

Really, I don't know about ticket refunded before. Of course they still have advertisement spot, but since clubs have lost lots of their income since pandemic, i think they need other ways to gain more revenue because no income from ticket sales.

[Really, I don't know about ticket refunded before.

I just edited my reply to some rather than most, I had come across a couple of teams; Man City, Man Utd, Burnely and a couple of Spanish teams offering refunds, that is not really much. Majority of clubs are opting for a plan that would keep those tickets relevant till next season should fans be allowed into the stadium by then.

ZOMG even funnier

This is what they had to put in the stands!
It was an epic fail indeed but we are not going to see such icons in serious leagues like Premier League. I wonder why they had this idea to put them in the stands - what did they want to show.

Why would people make strange sound to cheer the team? They can just make normal chant like in the stadium right? Even if someone makes offensive chant like racist or NSFW's sound, it's easier to track and punish him since it's using digital app. And also by using this thing, these virtual spectators could vote their version of MOTM directly.

It’s not much but it’s a start to getting footy back.

Disappointingly lame after all the excitement we may have resumed matches soon.

Weeks ago they said back to training.

I wonder what to believe anymore from the government and co.

Since everything is going smoothly in Germany I am feeling that other leagues will follow, maybe EPL or Serie A first then the remaining non-cancelled leagues.

Of course we have to wait the 2 weeks incubation period to really see if it went well or folly

Yes indeed, that's why they are stepping slowly to see how things go there in part imo

Now the plan to continue the rest of the 2019/20 season competition gets a new boost. The league manager has reached an agreement with all participating clubs to return to undergo training sessions individually. The training session will begin on Tuesday (5/19) local time.

The English Premier League said that health protocols would continue to be developed to allow the continuation of group training sessions with normal physical contact.

We should be seeing PL football back on our TV’s in late June, what do you think guys? I think June 19th is pencilled in as the first weekend of games.

Resuming individual trainings is good as a new normality for football clubs but to resume the league, clubs must have group trainings for tactics problems. I hope that Premier League will move to next step next one or 2 weeks, then the league will be able to resume for its rest matches in the first half of June.

The health protocol for group trainings and solutions for infected players or related clubs of infected players will be very important.

Generally, the another good news is daily death tolls in each European nations declined significantly, it is a good thing to think of for other social activities, reopen the economy and sport events.

Yup...  I'm not even excited anymore tbh.  I don't care if it goes on or not.  I'm happy with the UFC atm.

Come to think of it.  It's prolly what the FA is waiting for...  It would be much easier for them to do whatever the hell they want.

June sounds great but can't find it anywhere supporting what you mentioned above. from what I've heard small group training sessions will start from Tuesday, 19th May.


PL carried out COVID-19 tests recently and there were 6 more cases founds from three clubs. There weren't any further specific details provided. (Source: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/may/19/premier-league-reveals-six-positive-coronavirus-tests-across-three-clubs)

It is not a good action for the fans but all clubs suffered a huge economic disaster during this period. All fans should not ask for a refund because if they do so they are going to  support their club financially.

By not revealing which clubs these players who test positive from, seems FA still trying hard to bring back the league. Though Bundesliga still restarting the league when there are 10 positive tests reported.

If fanatics surely they will give up the ticket money because it is not returned with the club but what about the others who just watch it they certainly want the return back even though the current club situation is experiencing a crisis during this pandemic then there is no other way but the refund.

I am sure the team has another way to do this because if the match has started again surely fans will buy the attributes of their favorite team.

Yeah, 6 players is a tiny % of all players & staff in the PL, it’s simple to just quarantine them for a week or two. This won’t affect anything, the season will still restart.
