Where will it end... 12th September as it happens

West Ham and Brighton used deaths that's why I will bash them.

Villa are not bothered about neutral grounds and as the Palace chairman said next season if it happens will be at neutral grounds anyway.

For me it's the oh we are against neutral grounds then, we will play on neutral grounds as long as we are not regelated.

West Ham are might to be this mighty club and for me just acting small time. I am sorry but Villa have acted class throughout and they're in the bottom 3. So I will bash West Ham and their own fans are also because they act tasteless. Using deaths is unforgivable!

 

At least they didn’t use taxpayers money to pay their own non playing staff

 

Like Newcastle.

West Ham are in a tax paying stadium mate.

Tax V deaths ok!! If you find using deaths as an excuse then I can't help you.. didn't think you were like that.

 

I have never said those words. Those were your words not mine. You have twisted to your own warped meaning for some reason.

As I have stated West Ham alone are not and will not be responsible for the premier league not having neutral venue games or relegation.

 

30,000 dead are of no concern to you, just make sure Liverpool don't get the * ?

 

Not even funny! * because 250k worldwide died.

 

NO it's not funny, but because some people are taking it more seriously they get castigated.

 

That figure is what countries around the world have admitted to, this pandemic could top1 million as I posted weeks ago and some are banging on about getting football back, get a grip.

 

What does that actually mean? Please explain.

 

UK economic activity has been creeping up for 3 weeks from Easter. I live near one of the regions main roads and see the rising traffic when I go out and can hear it when I don't. The passport office reopened. Housebuilders have gone back to work. Some takeaways have been reopening. Skeleton staffs have been returning to factories to sort spacing arrangements for restart. We've had a stealth easing of lockdown. Hospital admissions have kept falling (down from a 3000 per day peak 4 weeks ago to around 1000 per day now). All they are now talking about doing is having a more formal relaxation of lockdown. It's not as sudden as it sounds. It's been evolving. So far so good - more movements but ongoing falls in viral activity.

Austria started relaxing lockdown formally 3 weeks ago. Cases continue to fall - 29 yesterday compared to over 1300 at peak and around 100 per day when it partially lifted lockdown and around 50 when it lifted a bit more last week. New Zealand have no new cases for a 2nd day. It all bodes well for countries easing restrictions slowly though we must remain vigilant.

(Germany reported a blip in R back up to 1.0 for one day which made news headlines as the virus picking up again but it fell back to 0.7 again the next day which was reported less. That says more about the data than the relaxation and virus probably.)

 

Can anyone understand how it is at all possible to accurately assess the R level...? it's got to be guess work at best......

 

In this country it is an educated guess. Other countries like Germany it is down to mass testing and contact tracing

 

Austria had a very sharp, strict lockdown on the 16th March. Whilst our government was still contemplating what to do and the PM was still shaking hands with all and sundry (despite the official narrative advising against it). That's why they've managed to come out of it earlier than most other European nations.

I like how the government are 'warning against' a comparison of national death stats, when it looks like we're at the top of the European league. If the roles had been reversed and we'd escaped with lower numbers than everywhere else on the continent. You can bet your bottom dollar that they'd have been quoting it with abandon.

 

Ryan sparks on look north says city are asking the football league if they can a have a streaming season tickets

 

Is that instead of a normal ticket (i.e all games behind closed doors) or alongside

 

It makes perfect sense elther way

 

Was this @Keefly Bantam bright idea?

Is it through the club or ifollow?

Don't see how it works as its breaking the contract agreement with sky.

None starter.

 

Well some things are going to have to change. Maybe Sky take it over themselves?

 

There wasn’t much detail but I presume it would stand until crowds were allowed back

 

Just been watching the golf show. I had forgotten it was Ryder Cup year. Some think its massively important to get it on in September with whatever restrictions needed. Others such as John Rahm says its practically a non-event without the crowds so postpone it til next year
