'Over 30,000 people will show up outside Anfield' if Premier League resumes without neutral stadiums, warns McAteer

Former Liverpool player Jason McAteer says he is concerned that people will congregate at Anfield to celebrate a Reds title if the Premier League opts to return in home stadiums and not neutral venues.

The Premer League is gearing up towards a restart, with the league having been suspended since March 13 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. There has been much debate and discussion with regards to when and how that restart should happen, with neutral venues a big talking point.

Brighton chief executive Paul Barber has outlined his opposition to the Premier League’s ‘Project Restart’ plan, stating that he believes that England should follow the German example of playing in home stadiums.
