No, doesn't sound bad

According to iNews, the consideration comes from Sky Sports after feedback from viewers has shown that empty stands would ‘massively impact watching a game’.
So, after the news was relayed to fans on Twitter (via @LivEchoEFC), supporters continued to air their hatred towards the possible idea.
This has to be a wind up !!!

What do we think?
As can be seen in the responses from Everton supporters, they are clearly not on board with the idea of Sky Sports using a CGI crowd if matches return behind closed doors.
However, with no decision on how the Premier League season will be concluded being officially confirmed at present (via The Independent), there is no reason to worry about CGI supporters just yet.
