Some have said they switched off after five minutes as they couldn't stand it Others said they enjoyed watching the standard of football regardless of lack of atmosphere Tried to watch one of the German games last week but just couldn't get into it. As for the atmosphere, or lack of, it was pretty similar to what we've experienced this year at Hillsborough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi1867 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 It will be like the start of a new season, no form and all up for grabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHERSTATE Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) No-one on the site seems to 'hate' football. The opposite is probably true. They spend most of their time rambling on about it and are annoyed/dismayed at the governance and the nonsense surrounding how it's run. I think the country should just chill for another month until everyone can be confident enough to get back to some sort of reality. But I bet big business is putting pressure on the government. If however Wednesday are playing again I'll watch it on the internet, but I'm definatly not paying cos we had season tickets. A lot of people seem to be just stamping their feet asking for football and shopping back. Also half the people on the internet seems to think it's a cospiracy by the new world order and our facist government have got us where they want us. Also that vaccines are evil. I'll be just happy when I get to see my 76 year old mum. Edited May 30, 2020 by HIGHERSTATE 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just watch out of curiosity cos theres nothing else on TV at the moment. And pray that by August/September we'll have some sort of a squad and we'll be still in the Championship. We all know thats our main concern. Edited May 30, 2020 by HIGHERSTATE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31Dec1966 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 How can I be excited when I'm not allowed to go ? Football is utterly pointless without fans. I stand by my original position, cancel the season, start again with everyone at the position they were at start of season. We still have thousands of new infections and hundreds of deaths EVERY DAY. I'm all for easing the lockdown gradually but not for a trivial thing like football yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 No, couldn't give a throw about the Premier League and difficult to get excited about any games behind closed doors. Its not football for me without fans. Suspect I'll be as interested as I am in pre-season because that's effectively what it is. Games with no atmosphere and little point, with many teams having nothing to play for and players running out of contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would go to ground to watch if they open it with no concerns. not everyone will agree and I respect your opinion but that's my two pence worth me 2 I have no concerns at all going even if it was tomorrow ,going forward the shackles will need to be released you cant have 98% of the population not working ,not going to school ,not going out shopping, not socialising ,not playing or watching sport and so on . there will have to come a time that the gov will say that's as far as we can go on lockdown measures , it looks they have decided October is that time as all furloughing ,free giveaways are coming to an end and wont be extended so that might answer that question . people will have no choice to return to work with a full opening of society with probable advise of caution for over 70s ,the ill and frail going forward so a lot of our oap supporters might be advised going to a game is a risk , but me personally if I was over 70 I don't think id want to spend the last few years of life locked away.

So you'd rather have 6 weeks relaxing and watching TV and another 10 years doing all the things you wanted to. Or 3 weeks sticking your fingers up to the government, then potentially 3 weeks before a painful death. Not sure they and their families would agree. It's not like hiding under the bed that everyone thinks it is, it's just showing a degree of common sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scilly owl Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Football is within my DNA, but in a seasonal way. It’s over now.. my footy body clock has ticked on, the momentum and interest has waned... like a fabulous supper that is interrupted by a lengthy and disappointing phone call,you return to the table and your wife has done her best to keep it warm but it’s just not the same.... you bin it and look forward to the next fresh serving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briggowl Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Are you ready/excited for football returning? I've missed watching footy on TV, I've missed junior football even more, I've really not missed the nothing, troubled SWFC season that this has turned into and the strange atmosphere at Hillsboro. I'm not sure other than the 'programmes £3 quid' man, that the players will notice Hillsborough being empty. Desperate for this EFL charge to be resolved one way or another!!

Sadly though it's not 6 weeks followed by 10 years doing what you want. if you you are vulnerable now you will still be vulnerable in 6 weeks time, and until such time as a vaccine arrives. we're told this could be 2 or 3 years if at all. It just comes down to a lifestyle choice at the end of the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
