Oliver dowden on andrew marr this morning.


Secretary of State for Culture and Sport, on the Andrew Marr show, unable to explain why it is that Pubs can stay open but Premier & EFL clubs not allowed to allow 20% capacity crowds in, in a controlled manner.

Also unable to explain why the German Bundesliga and other countries have managed it but the UK can't.

Seems to be saying the Premier League should bail out the EFL clubs (good luck with that!)

Andrew Marr pointing out that many of these clubs, which are central to their local communities will cease to exist.

Utter shambles.

He really shouldn't have asked any member of this government such hard questions.

Re: Oliver dowden on andrew marr this morning.


I would want to know how it is any safer for clubs at lower levels to play with 600 fans but just because we are two divisions higher we cant.
Same virus, same game, same issues, only difference being that at our level we probably have bigger stadia and if anything are more able to deal with the issues.
Utter nonsense having different rules governing bodies and Elite / non Elite status. If it is good at one level then fairness says it is good for all.
Sounds like the authorities are a shambles and making everything up on the hoof.

I watched the Andrew Marr show yesterday. I got the firm impression that the Premier League clubs are under considerable pressure to cough up money, to support football at lower levels.

Also a strong hint that it is hoped that the issue could be resolved this week. We shall see.

Re: Oliver dowden on andrew marr this morning.


Any1 see this guys interviews on breakfast television this morning.


You have to laugh.

Apparently its safe to go to a theatre. Ie. Royal Albert hall. O2 arena etc. But it's not safe to have 1000 fans in a 60 000 stadium.


Made me laugh watching it.

Clueless.
