What gives you such confidence grounds will be full quicker than 2 years? I don't see it and neither do most of the experts who maintain even with a vaccine there will be forms of social distancing hopefully to a lesser degree for quite a few years.
Vaccinating 68 million people...twice...so 136 million jabs..as follow up needed 3 weeks after is not going to be done by next August. Not a chance. The UK govt only ordered enough from Pfizer to vaccinate a third of the country initially. Guess more vaccines may become available though.
Still not sure they will allow 30-60,000 people most of which won't have had the above (priority from early 2021 for first 4 or 5 months will be vulnerable/elderly/those in essential jobs) to be rammed in next to each other until the virus is under control. The demographic of football fans is such that a high % of those that normally attend would not fit the above criteria and not be vaccinated.
Going from 0 attending to full grounds by next season is ambitious and I hope it comes true but its just unrealistic. It will be small crowds and maybe 50% at best for a good portion of next season I feel and that's ambitious even. Hope I am wrong. If I/we get to see any live matches in 2020 then I'm seeing that as a bonus but accepted I probably won't be going to the Lane again for around another year.
Ultimately as
Ball_Sup (Phil) says there's no point getting worked up or angry about not being able to go. We literally can't control what decisions are made. I've resigned myself to not going for a good while and adapted even though it was a big part of my life. I am not getting excited about these stories about fans as we have heard similiar things quite a bit the last 6 months and now even abroad for the most.part we are now not seeing any or many fans being allowed.
