It’s pretty good. Not as good as with fans obviously but I think it allows you to sometimes focus on the football more. It takes me back to when I used to watch Chelsea youth almost every game. Behind closed doors/barely any fans still enjoyable.
Agree its garbage to wstcht.
Enjoyed watching the first half of the Dortmund game.
Had to move to listening on talk sport as I had to potter around the kitchen and wanted background noise.
I've really enjoyed both watching and listening to the game.
However if you are not liking watching then go to radio, not much difference to what its normally like
I had it on the radio too but had the radio on mute as there were no fans so nothing to hear really. Enjoyed it though.

Just a silent crowd in the background

Best radio in the world if it’s made in England, worthless piece of junk if it’s made in Taiwan, I’ve never listened to radio in my life
Snooker is fine behind closed doors, but the football is garbage like that. Atmosphere makes the game what it is.
At the moment it’s behind closed doors football or no football.
Which option do you prefer, that is the question?

Around 2,000 lucky people in Belarus got to go watch their teams today. Crowds are well down over there of course.
Would have been so interesting to see what would have happened to crowds in England had the same approach been taken. (Don't worry I'm not suggesting the same approach should have been taken).

Actually, a measured idea like 30% capacity could work quite well. Alternating rows left open, space between households in each row, physical distancing through turnstiles, snack areas and bathrooms could be effective if fans could do it. Could we?
You telling me that if you went deaf you'd never go to a game.
I have been to a rugby union game with bags of atmosphere and nodded off.
I recently went to a Southampton/Watford game with a friend and his 8 year old Saints supporting son, game was awful but I enjoyed it because, for the day, I wore the red and white stripes.
It's not just the game, it's the emotional attachment you have in a game. Wait until the team you are watching behind closed doors is the Mighty Whites. You'll be there.
Never happy. I'd prefer if we played the 9 games left without fans, and hopefully get promotion, and that would mean we deserved going up having played the rest of the season. So just stop complaining.

I get the impression you don't like LIW.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
i like LIW but he's like a dog with a bone on this. football without fans is not the best plan it's the only plan. the season has to finish some way. voiding it would in my opinion be the worst thing that could happen to football, the virus notwithstanding.
i watched parts of a few games yesterday and will watch some of the bayern game today and thought it was pretty good. considering i don't really care about the result says a lot about my need for football.
if leeds were to play behind closed doors to finish up the season i would be glued to the tv fans or no fans.
I really think people need to learn to read.
Where the hell, have I said we shouldn’t play behind closed doors or anything even like this.
This is about the treatment of match day fans. The costs are too high and too many games are been moved with short periods.
All you hear is about is how much tv revenues clubs generated but without the fans, it really does dilute the game and the value of them rights.
Dog with a bone, am desperate for the season to be finished.
Very strange
sorry if i misinterpreted your post liw.

Was thinking exactly the same after reading some comments.
LIW, I know it is not easy without fans, at least the current season can be concluded,what else can be done. Leeds just have to go up this season full stop and to void the season and forget about our performance would be unthinkable. I would not mind the PPG system though which I think is fair.
I think playing in front of a quiet stadium and with zero atmosphere gives an unfair advantage to the likes of Arsenal to be honest.

Agree that no fans is an odd watch.
Wonder how the players feel about it, must be strange
Football needs a reset. Players salaries have crippled clubs, we need to be more realistic going forward. Tickets need to be realistic too, the lower the price the more fans they'll attract and that'll increase revenue. Transfer fees are at a ridiculous level, hopefully this crisis will address that too.
Personally, I would pluck thistles out of Nicola Sturgeon's ar$e if it meant getting promoted. Watching us do it in empty stadiums is a slightly more preferable.
