A return to VP

Play off finals taking place over May bank holiday weekend...

 

Heard all this before though and then all gets pulled away.

I don't believe Boris until it all happens and happens for months.

Everyone needs to remember that the government will not want to be held responsible for any industry,so will give hope hence this roadmap.

The roadmap is government politics rubbish.

 

It has to happen, we can't afford for it not to do. I aint paying for a season ticket if there is no guarantee of live football. I've done it once this season for me and my lad but not again.

 

I hope it happens mate and I too won't pay for Ifollow again but I am not banking on it happening.

The government are covering their backs. Not promising theses things will happen and saying four things need to happen before certain things can open up.

If I am Ryan Sparks I am taking it with a pinch of salt knowing how much the club spent to become covid secure in the first place and then I would be putting season ticket sells in June if everything is fine.

 

Right in time for the playoff campaign

 

Both with city and everything else its come as a relief. With the vaccination program and the Scottish reports on a 90% reduction in hospitalisations after vaccination I am confident these relaxations will go ahead. Maybe not bang on as they are set now but they wont get pulled away.

 

They're counting on four things.

No longer is it getting the infection rate down. It's that and three other things.

I've no confidence at all at this moment because its been u turn after u turn and things pulled away all the time. Lockdown after lockdown.

Brave person if you are confident these things will happen near the government timeframe.

 

I don’t think anything has been guaranteed all these steps will only happen after a review of the previous step which is the right way to go.
The last thing we want is to open things up only to have to shut down again the foresight in securing these vaccines and the absolutely brilliant work of the medics and volunteers are giving us hope for a much better future starting later this year and hopefully a full live season starting August or September.
I also. Believe what we paid for the season ticket still gave us good value this season when many people now are paying £10 to watch matches

Its a definite possibility, they've move goalposts before so don't bank on them doing it again. But this time they can't have football clubs not knowing and then budgeting for the season ahead, its not fair. There's too much at stake with peoples livelyhoods on the line. Stadiums are opening up gradually all over the world and we should be no different.

 

The roadmap is a realistic and genuine way out without giving too much. Boris has said loud and clear he wants everything he says on this road map to be deliverable, so I would say unless there is an unexpected massive upturn in infections, this will happen.

 

It won’t be moving the goalpost all these dates are conditional on the continued suppression of the virus

 

Don't think the government cares about football mate. Even the possible opening up date doesn't benefit the EFL clubs.

The government thinks football has too much money and can look after itself.

 

Let's hope come June that's the end of the whole lockdown affair.

No matter what we need to get on with life, we've shut down so much to protect the NHS and health services all over the world, now we've got the vaccines and if we need one every year ala flu, so be it, not much we can do to change that now.

Time to crack on.

What are we, the fans, going to do to make that first fully opened home game special?

 

Have you had your head in the sand for the last 12 months? You forgot about the government u-turns?

It's not just based on infections is it?

 

So what else is it based on ? Infections are the starting point. They keep coming down, so will deaths, so will hospitalisations. Infection is where it all starts.

This plan is clear, science led and very structured. It's going to take some drastic reversals now for it not to work, and if that happens its not a u-turn is it ? It's a re-alignment of plan. U-turn, if you want to. the lady's not for turning.

 

Problem is Park for the football clubs to be able to plan financially we can't keep having conditional dates. By the start of the upcoming season there should be enough vaccinated and the figure should be low enough to allow some form of normality. Yes, there has to be vigilant processes in place such as the usual handwashing faciities but we cannot allow businesses to restart again only for them to shut down again as some nutty professor starts hogging the limelight.

 

I think the point is we get to the date set out and if the data allows they proceed and is irreversible
