to season ticket holders only?

 

It is but pre covid would only be available for midweek games....

 

Either way, it's still income..

 

That’s not how it’s gonna work, unfortunately.

 

SAGE have made a (worst case) prediction of 80,000 more deaths this summer and there’s a lot of noise about a third wave now, with cases of the Indian variant increasing there’s a likelihood of the June 21st reopening being pushed back at least a couple of months if not longer.

There may be a reduced capacity, however, with Bradford one of the worst areas of the UK for virus numbers, and the Government not ruling out local lockdowns, I can’t see fans at VP for the start of the coming season.

Rightfully so, too.

 

Agreed - It's also not fair for young adults who have not yet even been offered the vaccine to be put at risk or for them to put others at risk (i.e in their household, at work, or in general society) through no fault of their own. In the interests of fairness, until everyone has had the opportunity for both doses, nobody should be attending football as it is not 100% safe to do so. Even more so now that the Indian variant is on the rampage and case numbers are worryingly on an upward trend.

 

Why are you two not taking the Indian variant seriously? That is extremely dangerous rhetoric you are implying here. There's no chance any of us should be allowed to go to VP until we are all 100% COVID-secure, and every adult, and possibly teenagers, have all been vaccinated twice. Then, and only then, should we even consider discussing coming back to VP in a COVID-safe, gradual manner.

It doesn't matter whether or not it causes serious illness in the under 30s, so long as those under 30s haven't been vaccinated twice and are in the same society as those who have not been vaccinated twice, it would be absolute madness to consider gathering in our thousands on a weekly basis.

 

All adults will have been vaccinated at least once by the end of July so there will be enough protection unless a new strain is out of control

 

One jab is nowhere near enough protection. There’s some debate as to whether Two vaccinations is even enough now as a third inoculation is being tested.

 

I get what you’re saying, however the effectiveness of the third vaccine is currently under voluntary testing so until we; a) receive the outcome of that, and b) have the population vaccinated at least twice, we should not be opening the gates.

It’s still very early days in our way out of the pandemic. Waiting another season won’t do any harm.

 

Viruses spread rapidly and dangerously, in case you missed the news over the past 18 months. Cancer isn’t contagious.

 

Knowing Ryan likes promoting the club via video I would have thought there would have been a drone video of the new dug outs, new seating and the work being done on the pitch etc.
