EPL needing neutral venues

Just reading that the EPL have been told that null and void isn’t an option, and they either finish the games on the pitch BCD, or use the PPG method.

Some of the teams aren’t happy about the idea of neutral venues as they would be losing home advantage, but I assume that’s more that they feel they may end up using another team’s ground and therefore it’s not really neutral.

As we’re not going to have any games up here soon, and the need for cash, would it not be an idea to suggest they use venues like Celtic park, Hampden and Murrayfield to complete their fixtures? Help bring some money in for football and rugby.

Null and void ain't an option Ivan in the EPL as far as I know.

For one thing top two in the Championship (Leeds & West Brom) would sue the erchie of all and sundry. They've said as much.

They need to find some way of playing games.

Held hostage by the TV companies.

Two up, no relegation will be the aim of those clubs.

It'll be cheaper in the long run for them to lose 1/20th of what the TV companies sue them for rather than potentially being relegated and the financial catastrophe that will follow.

Given what the premier league and FA have said there just isn’t going to be no relegation. It’d need 14 clubs to agree to it and FA approval, it won’t happen.

Time will tell but I can see a few clubs playing hard ball, and the rest will need to decide what their priorities are.


Spoiler - it's money.

A few clubs playing hard ball isn’t enough.
