If and when similar sections hit in the UK there are many questions that will need answering...

What compensation for those paying for season passes
Reimburse away tickets/magic weekend tickets
Or if they delay matches....
Have to delay the end of the season as there simply won't be enough time to play them in the same time frame

Many sports will survive this but RL is hardly cash rich, and this could bring SL and more-so non-SL teams to their knees.

Having no crowds has been proven to affect performances as well which affects top end of the leagues but the bottom end even more.

It wouldn't suprise me if all of Rovers players get the virus, it'd go with our 20 injuries so far this season anyway.

Until then - carry on I suppose.

No compensation or reimbursements, any insuranceolicy would judge it as an act of god, or natural phenomena. in the grand scjeme of things iy's only a blumin RL game. IMHO the whole thing is out of proportion, how many died of underlying complications excacerbated by flu in the same period?

But it's New York they need to have some excuse to get them involved, next season it will be Las Vegas

[url=https://www.latimes.com/science/story/2020-03-05/flu-killed-more-people-coronavirus-covid-19?_amp=true&__twitter_impression=trueThe flu has killed far more people than coronavirus. So why all the frenzy about COVID-19?[/url

Is this the first SL game to be played behind closed doors?

Not another one. They can’t win. They do an announcement in Doncaster and it’s ‘cheap’ and ‘unprofessional’. They are also pillared for not doing enough to promote the sport. Now they decide to do the Challenge Cup draw in one of the biggest cities in the world which should get some decent media coverage and they are getting stick for that as well. I give up.

I’m carrying on as normal pretty much but the death rate is ten times higher than the flu so far and it seems very infectious so understand the concerns.

this not a world event it's the challenge cup for gawd sake played in England get real will you

There’s one at Huddersfield every couple of weeks !

It’s New York not Timbuktu, get a grip.

irony meter alert

Someone doesn’t understand irony. Are you one of our new American fans?
