[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1014887, member: 58362"] Preach. In Covid UK, "follow the money" is a popular phrase and I believe it is applicable here. As far as I'm concerned, whichever the country, large live crowds are highly unlikely, so either the TV companies are prepared to stump up enough cash to make playing a series behind closed doors profitable or they're not. I would have thought that it would be, so the fact that this doesn't appear to be being considered means that either I'm underestimating the costs of putting such a series wrong or that (IMO) people are wildly overestimating what will be possible a few months down the line. As a hedge, I would plan a fully bubbled series in Ireland, given that there's the best chance of having some sort of crowd there. Other than adding to the cost, making it more difficult to form an effective bubble and massaging a few egos, I don't see what's to be gained by moving it around in any case. [/QUOTE]
