Even 1,000 fans will be better than an empty stadium and give us a bit of a home advantage. What’s one of those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofbert2 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 We could have had 1000 5G controlled zombies with their every move being tracked on the back of a fake virus if the signal wasn’t so shiiite at Hillsboro’ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got to return to some normality at some point. At the start of all this I wanted a lockdown more than anybody, but the virus isn't going away, and it will cripple our economy and lots of lives if we don't open things up. Those who are vulnerable should continue to shield, but those who are young and healthy should start to go back to normal. It's not ideal, but the impact on the economy and livelihoods will be a lot worse if we don't. Sound like boris johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed not a majority but still an awful lot of people Not sure. Totally get the decisions initially - and I wouldn't have like to been faced with the decision - but now we know a lot more about the virus and those who are most vulnerable, we should be creating policies to get things back to how they were, including letting fans back into football grounds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then their death rate was 10 times that of comparable nations. In crowded England it's a completely different story. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs are warning people that they will cease to exist if they can't get people back in the grounds. There was a Premier League spokesman on last week moaning that Premier League clubs have lost about £750m due to the pandemic & they need crowds back into stadiums to survive. It's not stopped them committing to probably over that amount in transfer fees this summer, a decent amount of which will go to clubs abroad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when they signed the latest TV deal, it was widely reported all clubs could let fans in for free for a season and they'd still be better off than under the old deal. I imagine sponsors are queuing up to have banners in the empty seats too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I suppose with just 1 win in the last 12 at home it's not particularly advantageous for us I do think we have to start making steps to get fans back safely and soon. If we don't a lot of EFL clubs will go to the wall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be more viable to play behind closed doors when you weigh up costs versus TV monies received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can probably say that 3 of the top teams don't need fans but the biggest club in the land (Man Utd) has already stated they need fans back in the ground to make money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twaddle Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 So how come we can all go indoors into pubs without a mask and yet we have to go with a mask in a supermarket, on a bus, on a train. Why can we not go outdoors to a football match ? The Pub Paradox. 2 minute video https://twitter.com/FatEmperor/status/1305454060280086528 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
