I had a quick check around some of the forums of the bigger teams, and couldn't find any of them talking about it -

Yes I’ve been looking into football forums too for them to catch on. I only really lurk mine and they’re oblivious. Also the music ones I frequent - Discogs, DOA - and know someone who runs a small one and he had no clue about the implications.

Early days? Still got the season to think about, it only takes a moment to flip when it becomes more widely known?
Like I say, candle in the wind.

A candle in the wind.
On our own we don't stand a chance, we all know everyone hates cyclists.
But if this law starts affecting SportBall ( our national obsession, like the royal apparently) sites then there could be big trouble. The PM is a SportBall fan and practitioner, the media can't get enough of it, big corps thrown money at it, etc,etc.
So, if these normal people rise up, like they did with that EuroLeague thing then the world turns, exceptions are made and on we go, I hope.
Is that a straw I see?
