https://www.adelaideunited.com.au/news/ ... oF4up6jaEQFootball Federation Australia (FFA) today re-confirmed its intention to resume the Hyundai A-League 2019/20 season as soon as possible, identifying a number of criteria that need to be satisfied before a firm date for the resumption could be set. Those criteria include the sustainable provision of:
- Player and staff Health and Safety threshold requirements
- State and Federal border restrictions being lifted
- Large gathering restrictions allowing for the required squads and support staff to gather
- Social distancing protocols being agreed with governments to allow the holding of professional games
Who knows how long that all will be? Depending on who you ask the borders may stay closed all year!
I read the AFL is considering moving every club to one city (presumably Melbourne) to play out games in one city. I wonder if something like that would work? Presumably the HAL would play out in NSW.
I'd love to see the rest of the season played out at NSW suburban grounds. If Fox can rig up cameras for FFA Cup games that shouldn't be an issue to televise the remainder of the season behind closed doors.
