I suggested this when we first went into lockdown, now it seems it could well be the way forward.
Sky/clubs carrying on showing two games a week to honour the broadcasting deal. But also having a pay per view option on the other games that would normally be non televised. Season pass holders would get our home games for free to honour passes.
Great idea as itd help stem the losses from matchday walkup ticket revenue. If they price it sensibly i think clubs could make a good amount of revenue to keep afloat.

Not sure how teams could be cohesive, if they have to go back into isolation after every game and not training together, especially our lot, who looked like a bunch of strangers at the best of times. I for one would endorse it, feels weird without my weekly FC fix, I’ve managed to do without pub and fish n chips on a Friday though.
It sounds as though sky are in support of it too. As the broadcasting deal gets honoured, plus the extra viewers due to lockdown.
Intrigued why sky wouldnt like it?
Im sure as we get over the peak, training with strict testing measures may be allowed, i know some companies are letting workers go back in small amounts, a way around this would be strict training tests before the players train, then splitting the players into smaller groups which im sure happens alot anyway.
Certainley promising and a possible way forward, a week ago we were all wandering in the dark
To be fair , IF the players have been self isolating, starting back training and playing against other players that have been self isolating, then very unlikely to catch it, need to get it back on the box rapid, obviously without a crowd
