Spurs fans on Twitter have been reacting to the news that Daniel Levy is among several chairmen in the Premier League who are opposed to the season resuming behind closed doors at neutral venues.
According to the Daily Mirror (via Talking THFC), several clubs have raised issues with the suggestion of playing games at neutral venues, although the most opposed to the idea seems to be Levy. The report suggests that plenty of Premier League sides, especially those fighting relegation, are keen not to lose ‘home advantage’ for the remainder of the season.
The season is currently suspended due to the current viral outbreak, although ‘project restart’ suggests that top-flight football in England could be back by June 12.
Do you think Premier League games should be played at neutral venues?

Rare W for Levy.

These Spurs fans seem to agree with Levy that if the Premier League does resume, home and away fixtures should be fulfilled.
What do we think?
We think that the Premier League should only return when it is completely safe to do so and that means resuming it in a way which is fair for everyone, so neutral venues should perhaps be out of the question.
