For several weeks, reports from England have always indicated a desire on the part of English football players to end the 2019/2020 season. A desire symbolized by the Restart plan whose objective is to find the ideal protocol allowing the 20 Premier League teams to play the nine remaining matches. However, the teams concerned are struggling to find common ground, especially those affected by relegation.

This morning, the local press said that the clubs in the second half of the table were not seduced by the idea that the season ended on neutral grounds. However, nothing to question the desire to put on the crampons. However, this afternoon the British government made it clear that no professional sport could resume until June 1. However, the authorities have given the green light to restart everything from this date. But under certain conditions.
No spectators in the stadiums before very long
A 50-page document serving as a roadmap was thus published by several media. The main information is that “Cultural and sporting events will be allowed to resume behind closed doors for broadcasters, thereby militating against the risks of social contact”. The Telegraph evokes for his part that the date of June 12 (as in Spain) should be debated between the clubs concerning the official resumption. An authorized recovery but which will of course be validated according to the evolution of the virus in the country.
A private session which English supporters will have to content themselves with for a certain time. Indeed, all the media specify that the government has been very evasive regarding the return to the stadium of football fans. “The document speaks of the reopening of theaters such as cinemas and hairdressers in stage 3 – at the earliest on July 4 – but indicates that certain places which, by design, are crowded and where it can be difficult to practicing social distancing may still not be able to reopen safely at this stage “, written Skysport. And that’s not all. The government wants to reopen the places with high concentration in small touches, depending on the spread of the virus. Except that this document specifies that ” the opening of sites such as stadiums will only be fully possible much later depending on the reduction in the number of infections. And some are already imagining a wait that could last until the beginning of 2021.
