'No such thing as an entirely safe environment' - Watford chairman against neutral venues

The Premier League are currently aiming to play out the rest of the season at a number of selected neutral venues

Watford chairman Scott Duxbury says the Premier League’s ‘Project Restart’ plans aren’t fair on smaller clubs who will be more affected by the loss of home advantage.

The Premier League aims to play matches at a number of neutral venues, stating health and safety and hygiene as among the factors for the decision.

Duxbury says he accepts that games have to be played without fans but believes clubs should be able to play at their home grounds, as is set to happen in the Bundesliga.
