Corona Virus : Wed Mar 11, 2020 10:25 am  

With Catalans playing their home game behind closed doors, it must now be a distinct possibility that as the virus infection level raises that our games would be either postponed or played behind closed doors.
As a club like ours and a few others with limited financial resources would not be able to survive without live spectators and the income they generate

I’m not made of money but if the club have to play games behind closed doors, I’m prepared to still a buy a ticket just to keep the club going. I hope others would do the same, obviously I realise some have shelled out for season tickets.

And some have shelled out for trips to Catalans and/or Toronto !!!

This is gonna escalate pretty quickly, my guess is the season will be postponed for a couple of months and Magic weekend cancelled.

Think we are likely to see some massive disruption to sports events, music events etc. Hoping it doesn't come to that but we'll just have to see how rapidly the situation escalates if indeed it does.

Put the country on lockdown? What the hell does that mean? We can all mingle with each other but no one is allowed in or out of the UK??
