Morning all

Better to be safe than sorry.... no point having a stadium that holds 25,000, 50,000 or 100,000 if you have no one to fill it because everyone's dead!!

We've been in lockdown in Victoria for two months with a 8.00pm curfew and only allowed out for 1 hours exercise plus food shopping. Thank goodness we've gone from 750 a day new cases to 28 as of today.

Very frustrating and painful but put into prospective no sport or anything else comes before people's lives.

‘On August 26, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a report showing that in 94 percent of the roughly 180,000 deaths that have been attributed to COVID-19, “on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death.”

As the CDC report notes, “For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned.”

In other words, 94 percent of Americans who have died from coronavirus from the week ending February 1, 2020 to the week ending August 22, 2020 had, on average, almost three comorbidities that played a role in their death.’

 

Gillingham so worried they signed Dominic Samuel from Blackburn this week

 

I mean fair play to the clubs that do this but you've really got to laugh at what a farce this has become.

 

Running my own business , i am a capitalist through and through and believe that hard work does bring its rewards.
Yes the premier league is the reason that the tv money is staggering.
But what i do find immoral , is jumped up footballers earning more in a week, than most people earn in 5 years.
I know its a short career .but do they really need to earn more in 1 year , than the rest of us see in a lifetime
And before the argument comes in about them paying tax, they can afford the best accountants, to show them how to pay as little as possible.
Maximum £20,000 a week for me in the premiership, 2 weeks is still more than my annual salary.
Also more control over bloody agents , who have there fingers , well and truly in the pie.
Reduce club debt , reduce ticket prices , give away free pies or re-paint your stadium every year,
That's where the money should be going.

 

Well, we'll see. Anyway, I think I'm going to have to give it a rest for while. I'm spending too much time going through the multitudinous variations of Covid numbers and posting bits on here. It's distracting from pressing needs at home like getting stuck into my tax return and a few other bits I've been ignoring. At the end of the day, it will do whatever it's going to. Hopefully, I'll come back in a few weeks and we'll have better news to chat about. A couple of wins and sitting in a play-off place would be nice for starters. Keep safe in the meanwhile.

 

No Leicester v West Ham.
Football not concert...

 

There's a Petition to sign for a return to football grounds here. As of writing is at 26,110. Which is already past the government response stage. At 100,000 it will be debated in parliament.

And I know some on here will bleat on about how it won't make a difference, I'd rather try and get us all into the ground instead of being sat on my hands!

 

I agree people need to take more responsibility for helping to stop the spread of the virus but you do realise that sitting outside in a socially distanced football stadium would be MUCH safer than being inside a gym though right?

Calling out that particular point in Fordys post just seems very strange indeed.

 

What 'abuse'? Give over.

 

It seems very unfair that clubs in low risk areas can have 4000 fans back in, thus giving them a true home advantage whereas we play home games in empty stadium and losing such advantage.

yes I know we’re still shit but you get my point.

 

I would be happy to donate my place to someone I didn't like......

 

It was never going to change.

Can't see it changing for West Yorkshire until Feb at the earliest

 

25th December mate, confirmed

 

Stupid comment, she saved all our arses...

 

No thanks, no football without all the trimmings, call the whole thing off and shut up shop until we can....
