Then again they were screaming about punishing the 6 clubs repeatedly and were probably using it as a stick to beat them with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was BBC touting stadiums in London so probably just wishful thinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well. That's a kick in the stones for folk coming here as well. Disappointing as in theory you can leave Scotland but America has its borders shut for enormous chunks of the world. Need to get consumer confidence back up as it's likely international travel restrictions will ease during the summer but airlines won't care what the restrictions are if folk don't have confidence to book flights, especially with flights to America tending to be booked far in advance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 London and indeed Glasgow (already host cities) are not short of high capacity venues if there's a willingness to step in. It would make sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham has a good chance of helping them out although Boris should be clawing back the cash to the tax payer seeing as they are only tenants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Villa Park would be an obvious choice, as would St James'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effeffsee_the2nd Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 12 hours ago, Todd_is_God said: The problem with this is two-fold. Firstly, how many would be willing to book a holiday knowing they were at the mercy of a test as to whether they had wasted their money or not. And secondly, what insurance company is going to underwrite policies that will cover either the travel agent or individual in the event they test positive, and at what premium? If tests are required on top of vaccines to go on holiday (and the threat of quarantine status changing at any time), the market will take an absolute pounding and the industry will collapse. In that scenario, do the UK Gov / SG continue to shovel money into keeping travel companies viable, or do they write off the jobs? I'll add in extra, Who wants to go when you could end up confined to your hotel room for 2 weeks after a positive test who wants to go on holiday where you have to wear masks all the time along with any other restrictions ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the RFU will be more than happy to lend them Twickenham as well. There are also a few grounds in England as well with high capacities that don't belong to the breakaway - St James' Park, Villa Park and even the Stadium of Light (49,000). UEFA also wants to minimise ticket refunds so to an extent will take whatever they can actually get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
