Thursdays game vs LASK - Closed doors

Officials at Austrian club LASK Linz are expecting to be told Thursday’s Europa League match against Manchester United must be played behind closed doors.

The club are still to be contacted by official sources, so are continuing to plan for the game to go ahead as scheduled.

However, they were aware of a governmental meeting taking place this morning and have noted subsequent reports in Austria stating that all matches must be played without spectators.

United and UEFA are also trying to establish the exact position.

Guessing if flights aren't cancelled then a lot of them will still travel and just be packed into bars instead.

amazed if many do that, for a massive European game maybe but against a minnow really why would you still travel just to watch at a bar, you could do that back here
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Because they have paid money and won't get most of it back.

You are right, I at times under estimate how selfish or senseless some people can be. They will rather travel and risk increasing the probability of catching a virus because it will not kill them and spread it to others who it might or not kill them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

People are s, it is as simple as that. 95% of people having given one seconds thought to passing on the virus but have only concerned themselves with catching it. Hence you get the idiots going out and buying up anything they can from stores in a 'as long as i am alright feck everyone else' mentality.

This corona virus is bad news. I've got a snowboarding trip to Chamonix booked in 10 days time, a trip to Corfu in a couple of months and also tickets for Glasto. All of them at risk as things stand.

Now confirmed that the match will be played behind closed doors. A shame for the LASK fans and the travelling contingent. Hope the club can reimburse as much of the costs as possible.

They should play audio of the crowed through the speakers so it doesn't sound weird for the players or on TV.

How would it not sound weird

What noise would you play... No matter what you play its not going to be reactive to whats happening on the pitch so will sound a little stupid

It'll be a strange game now... Probably less intensity and with the feel of a training game

Gotta feel for LASK... Loss of match day income and hosting United is a bit of a damp squib rather than a big occasion

They probably banking on the home crowd atmosphere too
