Premier League: all clubs refuse to play on neutral courts

All Premier League clubs reject the idea of ​​playing on neutral fields, not just the six clubs that are struggling with relegation, said Richard Masters, executive director of the English Premier League.

Masters added that the Premier League will try to pressure the British government in further talks this week, to dissuade it from its position regarding holding the rest of the Premier League matches at specific stadiums, away from residential meetings.

Six clubs, Brighton, West Ham, Watford, Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Norwich City, had previously announced their rejection at the beginning of completing competitions in neutral stadiums, considering that this lacked justice.

“Like all industries, we must plan to resume soccer competitions and, of course, safety comes first, we will listen to the government and health experts to put us in the best position to resume competition,” said the CEO of the Premier League in comments reported by the British newspaper Mirror.

Hopes for the resumption of Premier League competitions were strengthened after the British government issued a document related to the steps taken during the next stage, which included giving the green light to hold sporting and cultural events without a public presence.

Sports activity has been halted in Britain and most of the world since last March, after the outbreak of the new Corona virus, and the Premier League has been in talks ever since, to maintain hopes of resuming competition.
