Winston Biscuit I wonder if we would put ourselves forward as a neutral ground to host PL games.
I heard on the radio yesterday that part of the reason for wanting neutral grounds was ease of access and somewhere with little chance of fans congregating outside, which I think we tick both boxes on.

Silver Fox Heard a rumour yesterday that a travel agent who deals with football clubs has been tasked with arranging a bunch of hotel stock near St Georges Park in anticipation of all the games being played there.

Silver Fox My comment had nothing to do with the championship but appreciate the overreaction. Playing all games at a neutral venue doesn't mess with the integrity of the competition at all, but it was no surprise to see Brighton complaining about exactly that, presumably not linked to the fact they have a particularly tough run in so would no doubt be delighted if the season ended as it stands and the the stay up, bunch of chancers

Both teams will be away effectively so the home team loses more while the designated away team is still “away”. The interesting thing will be how clubs set up tactically. Will they both play as if they were away or as if they were at home?

Sutekh Latest rumour is that the season in the four professional divisions in England will completed but in a typical manner so as not to upset any team at the top of their division or in a relegation battle. Therefore promotion will still happen based on ppg ratio but relegation won’t.
The League Cup next season would therefore be cancelled to give extra fixture dates and no doubt a fair few extra relegation places around in 20/21.

Silver Fox Can you two not read?
When teams play their "home" games they will lose HFA (however much that is worth)
When teams play their "away" games they won't suffer from playing in front of a partisan crowd (LOL)
So the neutral grounds plan may take with one hand but it gives with the other.
