Anyone else received an email or a call with their seats confirmed?

Nope.

Don't think so now we're in lockdown

 

[Useful_Idiot]

This wont happen like, localised lockdown for the North East. Sunderland has one of the highest infection rates in the country per 100,000

 

[Be Here Now]

Apparently stadium opening date will be pushed back to November 1st

 

[Upthere]

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned but P’Boro applied for the 1000 fan pilot.

they were knocked back because of the virus rate.

so can’t see this going ahead unfortunately.

At least, I'd have thought. Local rates are scarily high in Tyne and Wear (particularly compared to Bristol's 14.2/100k (data from 15/9/20)).

Utter tosh.

The Government refuses to accept the reality of this pandemic - what a shock.

WTF is bubble seating?

Seats not to be used are shrouded in bubble wrap... Anyone sitting on them would pop and prompt a halt in play! That's how I understand it

 

[Ghandi Floss]

The bubble seating arrangements are in the hands of Ticketmaster.
I believe the club are gonna put a statement out regarding this, and other things to do with social distancing matches, once they have more information about certain things.

Get a grip man and get behind the lads.

You think we'll be in the stadium in October? Honestly? Test events are banned in local lockdown areas - cannot see this happening at all.

 

[Super Ted]

I'm in a bubble with Parkinson, our defence is only priority.

With the new restrictions, no chance. They'll not even be reviewed for two weeks, and most of the bubbles people have set up will be outside the new rules.

 

[stubber]

Not me.

Mind you, actually going when the Covid rates in Sunderland are more than four times what they are Bristol isn't looking very attractive.

It’s owld twats that are more susceptible to complications.

Exactly.

In fact, any bubble bigger than six people is banned even without the local lockdown dynamic.

I’d go if I lived closer.

Could be a right disaster mind. Imagine watching a typical SAFC performance in an empty stadium in bad weather. Get home miserable and then get a text... isolate due to Covid.

Just when you thought supporting Sunderland couldn’t get any worse!! It could

My brother-in law has his - he applied after me so they are not handling them in order.
