Re: Coronovirus
Pro football is different to cricket and RL as our season has nearly finished; neither of their's have started.
County cricket doesn't get massive crowds ( apart from T20) and can sort of be played with out contact.
RL has had a "bale out" as the World Cup is being staged here next year and suspect most clubs don't pay massive wages.
Football has big crowds, impossible to play and "social distance" and we're 3/4 of the wage through a season.
Plus we link into European competitions which generate cash for a lot of industries.
The money HM Govt will get from football will be massive;
Income Tax; 12.8% employers NI, 20% VAT on all gate money, the booze we all drink at games is heavily taxed etc.
Obviously safety is paramount
