| No option other than to close down.
It's impossible for the clubs to manage it.
What happens if say 2 players start developing symptoms. So you put them in isolation. But they've been training, so will have been in close contact with lots of their team mates at training. Does everyone who was then in training have to go in to isolation too? So no training that week. But can you put them out on the field? That endangers the other team. So find alternative players who weren't at that training session, for that game. Match day squads will soon become patched up sets of academy players and players recalled from loan.
Given the rate at which it is likely to spread, it will rapidly rip through a dressing room so how do they prevent that. Its not like they can do "working from home" or say maintain a safe distance from your colleagues, no physical contact.
Also, if you're a player, and you see the rest of the country shutting down, at what point do you say, hang on mate, I've got a family, you're putting me at higher risk of exposure than most people and I can then pass it on to them. You're putting me at risk of something which damages my lungs, when my whole livelihood revolves around having extreme levels of CV fitness.
The clubs might try to make a show of saying "we're just following government advice", and keep going for one or two more weeks, then it will become untenable and they will have to close down anyway.

| Going back to the 60s, the legendary film This Sporting Life is on Talking Pictures tv channel this Saturday about 9pm.
A kitchen sink drama, that British cinema was excellent at, about Rugby League .

| I've not seen that one for a long while. Richard Harris and Wakefield Trinity, from memory. I don't think there's any Wire references in the film, but it was a while ago when I saw it.

That's a good enough reason to watch BBC.
