Crowds allowed into grounds in October..

[Flatulent_Bob]

Feel really sorry for the kids....don’t think it’s fair to ask them to wear masks.

Why not? There are loads of people who are having to wear them all day?

 

[DronnieBlade]

Sports teams exempt it said, I assume that includes for fans?

You reckon ?

Nay chance.

UTB

Absolutely no chance they're going to let thousands of people in football grounds, when you can't meat with your family in groups over 6.

That wouldn't be logical...hold on...

Are you allowed to Veg with your family?

St Leger meeting at Donny this week has crowds attending of a couple thousand each day. I'm as keen as anyone to get back into a football ground or a racecourse, but I hope letting people in doesn't cause so big a stir that attending other sporting events is pushed back.

This is only 6 people who know each other and are not social distancing, is it not?

So, you could have a thousand fans as long as no more than 6 sit together. Same with pubs, restaurants, parks, private parties etc.

Surely there's a Barbecue exemption clause.

That’s how I read it.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Apparently further details re sporting trials are part of the 4pm announcement

 

[Harry's Game]

Boris has said people cannot meet in groups of more than six if its for fun... looks like fans will be Allowed back in Hillsboro then.

Do some independent research...it shows that Peru has had the strictest lock down in the world
but wearing masks....social distancing....has had little effect...their infection figures are amongst the worse in the world.

Then you have Sweden who have basically left it up the public to do what they want....with no lock down.
Their infection figures are pretty good...much much better than Peru’s...how can that be?

Over the Summer 100,000’s on beaches....the media predicted a 2nd wave.....but nothing.
Mass Black lives matters protests in London...the media predicted a 2nd wave...but nothing.
The media are now trying to blame kids from partying......they’re predicting a 2nd wave again....yet again they’ll be nothing.

How come in the early days the message was “protect the NHS and save lives”.....makes sense and rightfully received support.
But now there’s no hospitalisations and minimal deaths......they’ve stopped reporting the low figures.

Instead they’ve gone on a testing campaign...track and trace trying to actively find as many cases as possible.
So of course the rate will increase....but that’s a red herring....

Surely positive tests cases mean nothing unless you know how many have been tested and what % of the country are tested.
In fact data from “positive tests“ is like a dog chasing its tail.
The only meaningful method is to test everyone (the whole 66 million of the population),once a week.

Anyhow surely the important figure are illness and deaths.
This virus will probably end up like flu and always be around...so you just life with it.
At the moment you‘re more likely to die in a car accident than from corona virus.

Should we now be showing road traffics accidents every hour on tv and banning cars?
It seems the world has gone mad....appreciate it’s often scary when dealing with the unknown but I t’s like a mass hysteria and really bizarre.
The government are using deliberate language to stoke up the fear factor BUT then the following day don’t understand why people don’t want to return to work.
Theres something weird going on....I refuse to believe the government don’t realise what they are doing....they must have a plan.

I was with you right up until the last line. Trust me there is no conspiracy only incompetence. We have bemoaned and besmirched our politicians for the last 30 years until the only ones left willing to do the job are practically unfit to do it competently. I don’t just mean the Tories I mean all parties, full of useless know nowts who have been to university, got a job as a political “researcher” or in a trade union and then become an MP Without any real life experience. Little wonder then that when a pandemic comes along they are totally inadequate to a) understand it and b) deal with it in a rational and comprehendible way. And don‘t get me started on the general population who they are supposed to govern, many of whom don’t give 2 figs and the rest incapable of understanding basic statistics and probability. Anyway rant over UTB

I'd not finished my coffee, ok

 

[S64 Blade]

Are you trying to starting a beef with me?

 

[Working Class Hero]

Everyone keeps quoting this "more than six people" thing, but for groups of different households this was always the rule anyway. So I don't see that it really makes a difference to the football situation.

Good post.....I’ve distrusted and hated all politicians for years.....I struggle to vote sometimes....always voting for the party I dislike the least ha.
They might start their careers with good intentions....but it seems the motto is “if you can’t beat em then you may as well join em”
So they become professional liers and manipulators. Like on here sometimes.....
it seems in order to get their message across their opinion must be exaggerated and polarised.
Politics should be serious business but it’s like one big game.....the successful politians are those that can play the game better.

 

[Heffernans tache]

Deaths 32 today and govt in panic mode again, I feel this winter will be games without fans.

Think you might be right unfortunately

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Donny races going back behind closed doors doesn't sound encouraging

 

[jt64]

Assuming we are on the same track, slightly behind France and Spain, hospital cases and then an increase in deaths are probs 6 weeks away.

Then again...

Spanish second wave (graph from FT):

Why would the media be disappointed? They just report the news and generally protect the government.

 

[LardSardine]

It was 8965, and I was there!!

I think I was there, but it might have been one of those occasions where it's been talked about so many times it now feels like I was there.

 

[Niceguyeddie]

Ah well no crowds probably till next year
At least you looked hard not wearing a mask.lads

Well it's live on sky now, fans from 1st october....

Yet we're talking of not fucking gathering into groups higher than 6 lol

It will happen. Even if lower numbers than initially expected.

Won't make a difference for me! I will be watching it on TV anyways.. Hopefully I'll visit Sheffield next summer.

I thought you could still meet with 6 people but you still have to social distance.

 

[robbiez666]

I'm not listened to the press conference (which no doubt will be as clear as mud anyway) but you can currently socialise without social distancing, or at least everyone is (if you can't). I'm not entirely sure tbh.

You could, agreed and it would be brilliant, however, fans in pubs before the match and trying to keep them in their bubbles, including queuing up outside, to say nothing of getting there in good time and leaving in an orderly fashion after the match ....

....bit like herding cats really don't you think?
