Fans Back At VP - A Plan

Let's be blunt, you were saying last night that this suggestion would be presented to the Govt today. It hasn't happened so far and you've jumped in with your size 12s once again.

The fuller picture,and I don't know whether the Times article refers to this, is that the Sport's Technology Group, a Govt body is looking at all sorts of options to get more fans into stadia sooner rather than later. They are looking at how Germany does it; they are looking at a PL proposal for Covid passports; they are looking at how to minimise the no of fans using public transport in getting to games; they are taking advice on how clubs would implement social distancing around the ground. I suspect the 'local fans' suggestion is also within their ToRs. There are lots of things under consideration but that's a far cry from your earlier post.

The German one is an interesting one but not as attractive as some might believe. There is a photo circulating in various media of 11,000 fans at a Dortmund game. Look how the Germans are dealing with it! It sounds fantastic but nobody has yet mentioned that those 11,000 fans are in an 81,000 capacity stadium! In our context, that's around 3,500 fans in VP or about half of what the club were planning. The Germans are looking at using the Dortmund test at other clubs .. but with one major proviso. And that is that the local infection rate has to be no higher than 35/100,000 pop over the previous 7 days before any fans areallowed back in. There are very few areas in the UK which come anywhere close to that level. I think Bradford's as with a large number of other northern urban areas is around the 200 mark.

So let's take a more balanced view without all the hyperbole and without omitting the context of your version of the 'truth'. Despite what you believe and regularly spout, most posters can handle the 'truth'. It's more that your version of the 'truth' is a little different from reality.

 

Flip ... flop .... flip ....flop .....

 

Of course. The Prez is leading from the front 'cos that's what great leaders do. And what's good enough for him is good enough for his 50 million followers with their AR15s.

 

Utter utter utter madness. How does someone with a Big void get into that position. No stop the bus.......how do people with that cerebral void get into positions of power? Other people vote for them.

 

Sounds like the EFL are trying to make a point to the government, as the current government rules (local lockdowns permitting) allow this farcical situation to happen, where you can watch the match in, say, the Bantams Bar, but not view the pitch direct.

 

It certainly does.

 

Maybe the club will have to close the curtains in the Bantams Bar?

It's becoming nonsensical!
