Me too. Golf involves way too much travel and then would a caddy really be able to SD? There's a time and a place for professional sport and it's not now.
I've flounced and not followed through

Rumours flying around of a June 8th restart with all games to be played at the FAs St George's Park complex.

Do I have to explain 20 times, that I'm in no rush to get it started, but am of an opinion that it should be finished???? Why do null and voiders keep peddling this crap?
The point was that we are all willing to take risks in life, whether large or small and I (probably like you) will get on the course as soon as possible. If footballers dont want to thats a personal choice, but some will be more than happy to still pick up 87.5%, if not all of their more than OBSCENE wages.

No you made a stupid comparison & now you’re throwing a strop.
If Amanda goes to play in a 2 ball she can easily stay 3m away from her playing partner.

And now it starts - Brighton want no part of a neutral venue event as they have five of their final nine games at home, four against "top" teams and want that advantage as other teams have already had it. Any excuse possible is going to be dragged out.

Can understand their thinking though.
Do they all have to agree or are the PL rules a 2/3 majority?

West Ham not convinced by it either..
Okay, I'm being tested now. Crazyface has started a why is golf in decline thread and it has gone quickly into a dress code issue. I'll confess, it's my thread weakness but after advising you about willpower I have no option but to ignore it ?.
I may shortly be emailing the mods to request an ignore thread option though ?. Perhaps if a few request it.......................?

A pattern starting to emerge from the clubs in the relegation area, methinks.
Brighton have a point, but there is more chance that some of their fans (like all the clubs) could congregate outside their own ground, whereas if they have to play their games at say Villa park, would be less of a case, if at all. The same for everyone else.
There are going to have to be some compromises made by all clubs and players nothing is going to be perfect, but to uphold sporting integrity its going to have to be the case. The alternative is going to have far worse consequences and arguments - average points per game, current positions being used, no relegation/promotion etc.
We already have some imperfections built in such as away goals, VAR, seedings in CL etc.

West Ham and Brighton - the first two teams to complain ..... and where are they in the Premier League standings? Just above the relegation zone. Anyone think they would be in favour of scrapping the entire season? ;-)

Really good point came up in baseball this week which has been talking about all teams in neutral venues and playing half a season like that - several of the top players immediately said they are not going to spend that length of time away from their families. Shot that idea down really quickly.
Another one came up in the NHL about playing the final 12-14 games of the regular season - several teams are totally out of playoff contention and their players stated that why should they put their health at risk for games that were meaningless to them.
Both things to consider in all sports as authorities try to find a way round a potentially insurmountable problem.

Playing on neutral grounds is stupid idea. whenever the competition is to recommence it needs to be to the exact same circumstances as the previous 28/29 games was played in.

And what if one team or some of the players refuse, what then? Sanctions? Relegation?

And, effectively, changing the rules part way through a season surely has to deal a blow to the notion of preserving the integrity of the game..?

That would be after SD is stopped as all those games had fans .
That’s the correct way imo.
When that will be is anyone’s guess though.
