why would you play at 3 neutral venues?

The teams have still got to travel back and forth to their homes/training grounds.

If you have more than one match per day then you increase the cross contamination risk.

If you've got teams and staff cooped up in hotels in the Midlands 24/7 then you're increasing risk of infection wiping out a whole squad.

Bonkers idea.
