Your class status does not make you immune from passing on a highly contagious virus...although looking at the Government you'd think it was the case...Deer and Pheasant shooting, along with Fox Hunting all exempt from the "Rule of Bullshit" oh sorry, I mean six.
Have they forgotten fox hunting is illegal? Or is that another law that doesn't apply to them |

Is it as simple as many football fans, stereotypically, liking a little collective cuddle whenever their team score, win a corner, witness a half-chance etc?  Rugby fans do this too and they tend to sing a lot more so surely "live performances" are still out the window? Whilst slopping their fluids of ale all over the shop too  Mind you, wouldn't it all be rather moot if the fans are spread out? They are still successfully doing this in the Scandinavian leagues. Saw a Norwegian match the other day and they were making a good old racket (it wasn't piped chanting). The cunts had flags and everything (there may have been a drum too  ) but it certainly felt more normal. Bodo/Glimt certainly enjoyed winning 6-1 against Odds BK in front of them all; and all at a respectable distance too. Downsides - Bodo play in yellow. |

Stereotypes aside, there is a strong correlation between those areas worst affected and poor quality crowded housing. And with low-paid work that cannot be done from home. |

Nah, you've got it all wrong. It's purely because Covid-19 just doesn't impact the elite like it does us mere mortals... The facts are there for all to see  |

How they going to manage that, haven't we sold way over 1000 ST, could actually end up costing us money?

The getting in and being there part should be fine for football grounds.
It’s the exit strategy that needs to be sound.
The joy of six won’t work with everyone piling out at the same time.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

My guess is we have around 3000-3500 season ticket holders. If Town do run next Saturday with a 1000 fans then my guess (and that’s all it is) would be a ballot, if you’re selected you get to go, if not, you get the ifollow voucher. I can’t see any other way myself.

Doubt we'd run a pilot next Saturday tbh |

Yep. Unless a pilot is a requirement/prequel to allowing pay on the day fans back in (or sufficient capacity to enable more STs to be sold) it's a non-starter financially |
