Unfortunately, this might be your last football match for a while. The Government has called a meeting with broadcasters & sports organisations on Monday to discuss the possibility of staging events behind closed doors and banning mass gatherings.

Anyway Cornavirus is a respiratory virus and toilet paper really shouldn't be an issue as loose bowels are not a symptom of said virus.

Re: Coronavirus
Nope. But at the population scale, loose thinking is a symptom of any situation like this.

Re: Coronavirus
You also still need it irrespective of being ill or not and if everyone else is panic buying it you would want to make sure you don't run out either.

Not as far as i'm aware, but I doubt that the Government will compensste them as they will say that it's in the public interest.
I've seen an unverified report that Sky are to suggest banning anyone over the age of 70 from Premier League matches for the foreseeable future. Whether this is true of not, I think that Sky would prefer not to have to televise matches in empty stadia.
Maybe as a gesture to help the situation, Sky could make the affected matches available Free To Air, but there again pigs might fly

Well, that's what it said on the news. I googled it and found this, so i'm not sure who to believe:

There are also reports that in China there have been incidents of armed robberies to steal toilet paper!!!

Re: Coronavirus
BBC News now reporting that us escaping the epidemic are 'slim to nil'.
BT & Sky believe that they may be asked to show games for free if people are banned from attending matches.

Those that enjoy watching plenty of Premium Sport know that they have to pay extra for it.
