You might be able to social distance and be outside at the game but the government isn't going to be encouraging thousands of people to travel around the country in cars, buses and trains just to attend a football match. Most people won't be going directly to the game and back again the majority will stop at petrol stations, restaurants, pubs etc. The anoraks don't care they just want a game of football to watch they live in a little bubble and think i will do everything right and totally ignore what every one else does and the practical behind the scenes things that just aren't possible. Its something for them to cling onto at a bleak time i guess we all do that in some form during trying times but at some point folk need to come to terms with the reality of things. I've said it from the start for the love of god whoever use hell is running this shambles to protect clubs and the game at this level and call the season void . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably will be on the backburner- but if there is a League Cup, St. Roch's will be letting season ticket holders in using the ST. So they're not lying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ilford Drummer Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 So while we await the results of the survey by WOSFL 70% of managers in the top league indicate they wish to start on the 10th with no fans. Have I heard this correct? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more than this, no fans = no income = no club. Unless there is another way of running a club that we're unaware of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tell_me_more Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I wonder if they got the go ahead from their committees to start without fans or maybe they have some arrangement with the players that they will all contribute their time and effort for free. Starting without fans and virtually zero income and expectecting to be paid is going to bring nothing but extreme financial hardship on the clubs, probably most will not be able to meet their obligations very quickly and then what? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceejayar Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 If I was still on a committee I would be voting for no fans no football, if players and coaches want to keep fit or whatever they can have a kick about down the local park. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have I heard this correct? If any club starts the season without fans then fans should just stay away whenever they are allowed to attend. It's obvious they don't need them. Personally couldn't give a toss what managers wish , the survival of the club is all that matters. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people won't be going directly to the game and back again the majority will stop at petrol stations, restaurants, pubs etc. Football needs to get off its knees and fight its corner or clubs from SPFL down are in grave danger of disappearing. Cases are NOT doubling every 7 or 8 days. The figures do not support that. We are again following the curves of countries in Europe - Italy, Spain and France. In NONE of those countries have cases doubled every week or so. Nowhere near it. Hospitalisations and deaths are growing - of course they are - but at nowhere near the same rate as "cases" (they are actually positive tests which includes false positives and DNA fragments from past infections and not just people who have it now.) There is no numerical or scientific basis for believing that we approaching anything like we had in spring. In the meantime, contact sports do not appear to be a major cause of transmission and neither do outside activities. At non-League level it should be easy to control numbers and ensure social distancing . As for travelling - the idea of essential travel only is a busted flush. If people are on public transport they will be distanced and wearing masks. If petrol stations and pubs are a source of transmission they should be dealt with appropriately. The idea that football fans should be barred from games because they might go a pub - which is allowed to stay open for them - is perverse. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
