I’ve heard that at the University of East Anglia they have banned clapping as it is apparently offensive to deaf people (?) Instead they are asked to do “Jazz Hands”

At the comedy I went to the other night we were told we werent allowed to cheer, or clap apparently.  Obviously we did but we ended up clicking our fingers in appreciation like the wankest jazz club in Bristol.  Im sure there is much competition for that title.

Was Russell Howard the star turn ?

Leaving aside the STFC allegiance, I am not a big fan of Ivo Graham's comedy.

Local reasons or pilots being abandoned more generally?

Local reasons i think, they had to reduce capacity to 1k and there would be too many invalid tickets

The club have suggested its linked to the national changes (much as the issue at Doncaster Races), I think the local element is, as you have noted, the ball ache as they have more tickets circulating than they can admit into the ground so its easier just to stop the lot!

'A club statement read: “This is no one’s fault – and everyone recognises that the national situation has changed – but it was felt that we would have been left with too many invalid tickets in circulation for a game where safety has to be the number one priority.  “Even with re-ticketing and regular direct communication to all fans over the next 24 hours, the short timeline means that the club cannot entirely mitigate the risk to fans and stewards of people arriving in good faith for the game with tickets that are invalid and being unable to attend given the reduced capacity.

“Therefore, whilst it is a difficult decision to cancel the pilot, it is the right one in circumstances where we must all prioritise public health and safety.”

whats really fucking annoying is seeing these empty stadiums for literally no reason. why can no fans be allowed in at all? if it's safe for 300 fans in non league why couldn't every league club even by allowed 1000 with seating spaces out? hospitality boxes could be filled? just liked restaurants arent they? why keep pissing around with more trials. Brighton v chelsea was a successful test was it not?

of course capacity crowds will never be seen again for the foreseeable but a complete blanket ban is crazy.
