According to a report from The Times, the FA has offered the use of Wembley Stadium if the governing body goes ahead with a potential plan to play multiple games on the same day at a neutral venue – with many City fans reacting in utter bemusement at the proposal.
Another piece of news from The Times first suggested that Premier League matches could return solely as a ‘TV event’ in the summer, around June or July, with a plethora of matches then played out at neutral venues like Wembley Stadium.
Would you be in favour of this solution?
Yes
No
This would mean multiple grounds would close until next campaign, including the Etihad Stadium, with games at the likes of Wembley and St George’s Park also potentially set to be played behind closed doors in a bid to slow the pandemic.
Taking to Twitter, many Sky Blues had their say over the matter – with some of our fans calling it a ‘terrible idea‘ and ‘disgusting‘.
