Fordy wont be having that, they are supposed to be the last ones to return

 

Even in the very unlikely event we are in Tier 2, I wouldn’t be interested in attending. Not just because the football is abysmal and the weather is crap, but because the whole Matchday experience for me involves a few beers before and after, and, given that T2 only allows for a drink with a meal, I’d rather save my money for when we can do things properly - hopefully from the 21/22 season commencing come August. (With a much better squad!)

 

What did you expect? We're run by sheer bloody imcompetents and a sizeable section of the public are either too thick or too selfish to take on board simple measures like hand washing and the wearing of masks. Even now does anyone really understand what the guidance is for Christmas?

 

At the start of all this it was the right thing to implement a lockdown, since then we’ve learnt that it’s not *that* bad if you’re healthy and under 70, IMO we can’t keep locked down, socially, economically and for our mental health, forever. We need to crack on. It’s not Ebola or Small Pox.

 

They will have to leave room for our carers

 

Have you wet the feckin bed?

 

Unlucky...told my missus that the m in 2m stood for miles....!!

 

You would have thought fordy would have understood how the smaller community's work.

 

22 new cases in Yorkshire hospitals on Tuesday. The daily peak was estimated at 57,000 for the Yorkshire and the Northeast region on March 23rd so the virus is as good as gone (although we weren't really measuring back then so it's a guess.) Why are pubs shut and my kids can't play on a see-saw? Death rates have yet to exceed bad flu years within living memory. Did you know excess winter deaths averaged just over 40k in the 1970s and over 60k in the 1950s? The UK's population was a bit lower then, too. It's only in the last couple of decades we've got excess deaths down to 30k per year so a spike rather higher is not that big a deal. It still hit 50.1k in 2017/18. SARS-CoV-2 is bad but we can now see it's not as bad as feared and not much worse than many in the past. We're now seeing that we've probably done more damage to health shutting the economy down than keeping it open.

Can we get on with our lives, please?

 

I'd be back tomorrow if they'd allow it

 

Up to you as you are entitlement to your opinion. I read risk differently (through work and NHS relatives) and whilst I agree with most of what you say I wont be sitting in close proximity to many shouty strangers (who may have lacked social distancing in pubs on a regular basis) indoors or out any time soon no matter what the government say. I think spectator sport is months away.

 

Exactly
After over 50 years on the terraces and last years unmitigated disaster a lot like myself won't be renewing I missed quite a few games last season following performances like Carlisle away on Boxing Day and Morecambe home on New Year's Day and didn't regret it so why torment myself with the possibly of a paid seat
Some games we got as far as the pub then nobody wanted to leave and brave the embarrassment anyone thinking that 8k will not be enough should think again
Covid will be quoted as a reason for the drop (again) in ticket sales but how much longer can the club make excuses for the complete lack of drive and ambition coming from the top
Signings of the ilk of Billy Clarke and the uncertainty on Vaughan ain't going to put bums on seats that's for sure

 

They already have a one way system just nobody takes any notice

 

I think I'm right in thinking tomorrow would have been the first day of the season until this wretched Covid hit us?

To be honest, I cannot remember when I have looked forward to a new season as little as I feel at the moment.

It's probably down to knowing we cannot attend when we do get under way next month. But the lack of transfer rumours and activity, no sign of fixture list, no scheduled friendlies means I have no appetite yet for a season that kicks off in 5 weeks.

 

Based on this Bradford is down to 17th but not for dropping rates, for others shooting up.
Liverpool looks look it will be hit with a more restrictions, others could possibly given the Bolton treatment, not that it's done any good as what smash through 200.

If I can go to work. I can go to the pub and my daughter can go to school, then it should be our choice if we want to go to the football with a few thousand of us rattling round in a 25k seater stadium.

 

Anyone with half a clue would have known this second wave was coming, and therefore it shouldn’t be a surprise that fans won’t be allowed in stadiums in October, nor at all this season I regret to inform for the umpteenth time.

The worrying part is that the second wave is happening before temperatures have significantly dropped, which is when the major outbreak will be once general cold and flu is in circulation.

Anybody with hopes of attending a game pre-2021, forget it.

 

Maybe this is fundamentally why we've done such a limited job of strengthening. Limit cost, keep the squad to a an assumed standard that means we don't go down, and then replan when Covid is under more control.
