Best advantage is Liverpool’s title celebrations will be ruined.

Stupid cvnt’s will turn up en masse outside anfield and spread their germs whether Coronavirus or just disgusting tramps.

My understanding (Which of course could be awry), is that matches on Saturday are not allowed to be broadcast 'Live' between certain hours because of the effect this could have on attendances at other games and I think this is a directive from the FA and Leagues rather than SKY.

But there will be no attendances anywhere!

I was just trying to explain why the directive is currently in place.
IF the situation evolves into a "Behind closed doors" scenario then of course there will be no negative affect on attendances!
I really don't know if the "Blackout" will still apply and perhaps any comment that it WILL might be pure speculation.

Exactly, although getting on crowded trains to and from the match (potentially) isn't very good for your health.

Although I will miss going to matches, I do feel for the clubs in the lower leagues who rely on the income much more than we do.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Playing the matches behind closed doors seems totally wrong to me because that arrangement is associated with punishment (e.g. Croatia v England in the Nations Cup etc.)
Also, given the postponement of the Citeh v Arsenal match, how long before other games are postponed because other players have to self-isolate?
It seems to me that sooner or later we may need to go the Italy route and simply postpone several rounds of matches and then when will the season end? (I believe Serie A, Ligue 1, Bundesliga and La Liga are today asking for the 2020 Euros to be postponed for a year - will be interesting to see what happens and what happens to those countries domestic leagues).
We are certainly living in interesting times.
