'Football without fans is nothing': Cork City chairman expresses reservations about games behind closed doors

Cork City chairman Declan Carey has expressed serious reservations about proposals to play football behind closed doors, as it appears a majority of League of Ireland clubs are now against the idea.

Clubs had until today at lunchtime to respond to the 40-page document they received from the FAI earlier this week which outlined the detailed and demanding steps they would have to take in order to safely facilitate matches played behind closed doors while Covid-19 restrictions remain in place.
