Orient (Home Sat 14/3/2020 - MATCH OFF)

it'd be quality if we had to play behind closed doors. we wouldn't have to attend. brilliant.

 

Indeed Ricc, they may not hear abuse from the crowd either, but they won't be able to avoid it from the touch line!

 

We’d still give the attendance as 14000 though

 

just a rehash of the report in the Times

 

Is it right that SXSW is off too

 

If all games are to be played behind closed doors, just cancel the season and sort the table alphabetically to decide promotion/relegation ffs

 

No possible reasons to have sports events behind closed doors.

Boris has said schools don't need to close - and with schools being the most obvious form of mass congregation, obviously crowds aren't a problem.

Right, Boris?

 

It's not, they don't want to close schools because of financial reasons.

Keeping them open is the best way to spread any virus, unless kids are immune, which they're not. They will be carriers with the mildest symptoms, ie, hardest to diagnose.

Whether it spreads or not, schools are a better chance for it spreading than football games.

They cannot cancel events after that decision.

 

Our game goes ahead as normal

Cow's Arse. Funny but a fair point

 

I dunno - but I'll be interested to watch what with Ireland doing the exact opposite of us much sooner.

Some of these medical advisors have to be wrong!

 

Don’t forget this Saturdays game the trialing of the “Atmosphere Section “ in the North West Section you need to secure your places .
Not for me though I think I’ll stick to the Bantams Bar .

 

Listen: I'm 65, asthma patient, dodgy blood pressure. I absolutely don't need to be in a crowd of people who are confident they are not at risk because they are young and resistant. Young people who are without symptoms pass this soddin thing onto other people.

Keep away from people, don't go to crowds.

 

not just health workers, shop staff too. Majority of which are female and likely to be the person who needs to take time off to baby sit

 

So those health workers who will be able to continue to work because their kids are at school will be more likely to contract the virus as a result of schools being open (the largest, most frequent mass meeting place in many communities).

How is that going to help? Sounds much, much worse to me.

If those health workers don't contract it at work, make home less safe too?
