So what are we all doing then?

[WORKSOPBLADE]

Hotel booked. We’re still going up for the weekend. Any more ?

 

[BettingBlade]

Anyone with train tickets/travel still going up for a day out in the toon?

Anyone eligible for a refund?

Fancy the races myself. Make a day out of it instead of just being in the boozer. (Not that Id say no to that either)

 

[Linz]

Think we've managed to change rail tickets so we're doing rail ale trail.

Day sesh.

Bear in mind that the racecourse is in Gosforth Park about 10 miles from Newcastle city centre.

Drink our beer and shag our women.

Sit at home, reach my wall.

 

[CrookesBlade]

Some of the boozers and takeaways round the Lane may well be taking a hit so might try and pay one or two of them a completely altruistic visit.

 

[BadgersBigToe]

Sat looking at the rain in Zion National Park, Utah......praying Trump doesn’t extend his flight ban to UK before Monday night!

 

[Rusty view]

Cancelled as it would mean spending the whole weekend at the in laws rather than just Friday night / Sun morning.

 

[prince albert]

Our lot are still going

 

[Sid1978]

If anyone is interested, South Shields play FC United of Manchester tomorrow. It's a 3pm kick-off. They currently play in the BetVictor Northern Premier and it's first vs second............

 

[Bruce Wayne]

My Mrs says sports should stop so mass gatherings don't spread the virus around. Guess where we are going tomorrow? Yep Meadowhall.

Double check though. Sounds like this might topple too.



EDIT:

Most lower leagues look like they're following the decisions made higher up.

Northern Counties has just said all their games are off.



Northern Premier League news will be here presumably: https://twitter.com/NorthernPremLge

But the National League fixtures are all going ahead: https://www.thenationalleague.org.uk/national-league-statement-61551

I went there once. A player spat at fans. Good luck.

 

[Linz]

Sheffield FC now off.



Frankly going to the pub somewhere sounds the best option!

As long as they don't cough in my general direction. Boris didn't mention spitting as hazardous.

It was to be my first away trip of the season, I'm self isolating in the garden with the lawn mower and a slab of Newcastle brown ale .I'm not even going to try and explain how gutted I am.
Plus I've had a shit week at Cheltenham.

 

[CharlotteBlade]

Going out in sheff tomorrow instead. It’s going to be a very strange day for sure, and have spent today wondering how Cheltenham wasn’t a mass gathering

 

[raul]

My understanding is that LNER are refunding their tickets sans admin fee due to Covid.. This from station mgr. No idea about other operators.

A mass gathering of the elite of society. Its different. The racing world is an insular bubble watched by thousands of pissheads. And yes I do know, I've been twice and was that person.

Trainpal aren’t... said they’re awaiting a National rail directive which hasn’t been issued.

 

[Linz]

Coronavirus and social distancing: is it risky to go to the pub or gym?

Many people may plan to attend a sports event or visit elderly relatives this weekend. Is this a bad idea?

[Caveblade]

My 2nd away trip of the season has now been replaced with jetwashing the patio! Joy of joys!

 

[georgebernardshaw]

Ladybower or Toft Newton?

Decisions, decisions...

Tbf the BHA are the only ones actually following government guidance by keeping the racing on.

Everything that’s been cancelled has been the choice of the sporting governing bodies.
