Talk of a national lockdown in a couple of weeks so probably no pubs, yet experimenting with limited crowds at matches ? Probably queuing for beer in concourses ?? WTF ??
Crowds
- Thread starter Tin Soldier
- Start date

They won't reach the stadium in Manchester after falling down the sink hole
I’m not a fan of the government, but it’s too easy to pick holes in plans that involves the management of 65m people. Attempts are being made on a very small scale to get people back into watching their football team. I think most football supporters would welcome that & if an experiment is done this weekend then shelved until they can pick it up again at a later date, so be it, it’s progress, they’ve learnt from it.
However it’s rocky ground to start critical argument when you’re using the words “talk of” & “probably”. Basically, they’re seeing, rightly or wrongly, whether they can progress a situation, but the criticism of it is based on conjecture

Crowds won’t be back anytime soon. even so, the trials are for 1000 fans in a football stadium ! It’s sufficent social distancing ffs

I’ll be having my beer at Trafford on a grassy knoll away from the masses

I thought the stadium concourses would not be selling beer/food?
As an aside, I can see protests coming like Spain and Germany have had. I definitely see the tide turning to more and more people that think the restrictions are disproportionate/wrong. Even people that were rabid lockdown fans at the start

Football has its head in the sand man ! Just read that manager of Connah’s Quay Nomads ? Playing Dinamo Tiblisi in a Europa League qualifier had to turn a blind eye to players turning up feeling unwell ! The game went ahead despite 4 players having tested positive ! I have no doubt this will have happen elsewhere.
Most will be in the same stand and probably using the same kiosk for beer !!!

Hancock is absolutely lost the pressure is building on him for another national lockdown so match crowds however small will stop
Why sack Durban

Football doesn’t have its head in the sand . It quickly and ahead of the government stopped the season . All games since then have been without anyone in and played in a bubble . They have now identified a plan to allow limited numbers into stadiums and they have sold this alongside the government and cautiously and at cost . They regally haven’t had their heads in the sand

I think it’s a good post , every government around the world , whatever their political lean too is right or left are making a bollocks up . We don’t really know where this virus came from but they sure will. The panic from the government s scares

He’s been lost since the day he was elected. There’s a dozen in the same boat. Useful idiot fall guys to be chucked overboard to distract attention every now and then. Even if he was an honest truth telling genius it’s a big ask all round.
As you say there’ll be no crowds at all soon. Maybe in time for Xmas in the PL?
Another national lockdown and I think the seasons over at our level.

Love how it's all the governments fault, we must govern the whole world as its on the increase everywhere apart from Sweden, who funnily enough used a herd immunity to control it.

With hindsight, other than furlough and help for small businesses I’m not sure they ever had it in the first place.
I think it’s getting them there and away again they’re worried about. They are relying on people being sensible.

If people were sensible, we wouldn't be seeing local lockdowns. When you have Covidiots like Tim Martin refusing to properly implement distancing in his pubs, and not even deep cleaning them when his staff get infected, what chance have we got?

To cheer you up, and let you know that some organisations are taking things seriously, here's a pic from the second of our two one hour rehearsals last night (two separate groups of no more than 30 singers)

For the avoidance of doubt, the two at bottom left are father and daughter.
And, yes, we did sing wearing facemasks.
