With Sheffield covid rates already well below 200 per 100,000

 

AND already similar to Merseyside when they went to Tier 2.

 

AND with another week and a half of reductions to go before next tiers are announced.

 

Its becoming increasingly likely that our home game with Coventry on Dec 19th will have 2,000 of us watching the Wednesday live.

 

Cue jokes.

 

JUST REJOICE AT THAT NEWS....

 

 Shouldn't  the heading really say possibly instead  of probably?

[latemodelchild]

It's SAG I feel sorry for. They're currently having to come up with a reason to justify us not having our full allowance whilst allowing the pigs theirs. I'm thinking it'll be summat to do with the words ingress and egress. 

[mogbad]

1,000 left in after half time then.

South Yorkshire Police have already started erecting crowd control measures around Hillsborough Park.

Very unlikely that any Covid levels will change before January. There is no way the government is going to be able to look at every area in 2 weeks and decide region by region. Until daily infections are down below 7-8,000 a day there will be little or no changes.

 

I hope there is but it's very unlikely.

Covid levels are being reassessed next week for changes on December 16th.

What is strange is that Luton who had fans in last night has a far higher Covid infection rate than Sheffield. Currently Luton is at 232 infections per 100K people compared to 165 in Sheffield and almost double the national average of 127.

Before we get too excited and prepare our best booing voices, each club has to have a "tester" event with just a 1000 capacity. So, if Sheffield enters tier 2 then the first game back will only have 1000 fans.

They can use and U23 game to run the trial,it doesnt have to be a first team match

I think it's too soon, will there be 2000 hospital beds available in South Yorkshire for chronic sore necks?

JUST PRACTICING

I sit behind the home dug out ... I’m not booing big tone ...he’d turn around and say ‘that’s arsch’ 

 

 I accept that arsch is German for ars* (I’ll not go into how I know)

 SAG/SYP wiill only need to close Penistone road in one direction then.

IIRC LiVARpool was 159/100k when they were announced as T2 (and whilst I accept that Local pressures on the NHS are a factor, Merseyside NHS was Blowing out of its arsch at the time)

[Hirstys Salopettes]

That said, if we’re T2 I hope the 2000 are allocated on TPP 

 

Which is basically 1997 allowing for the one bloke who bought 3 x Club 1867 

[Sefton owl]

According to the guidelines, fans are to avoid excessive singing and shouting. ... F*** this I’m out.

Puzzles me this current crowd allowance. If it’s all about social distancing & safety, surely bigger grounds can accommodate bigger crowds? Especially on 4 sides of a ground. Wouldn’t the solution be a percentage of capacity?

2k watching Charlton last night & 2k watching Arsenal tonight.

That’s never reyt. 
20% of official capacity split around the ground maybe, in tier 2.

So 5,500 at CAFC & 15,000 at Arse. 

 

 

Yep, Luton & Wycombe had 1,000 in grounds holding 10,000 and behind the goal at Luton just looked like a low attendance 'normal' game (camera angle presumably deceptive)

 

 

I'd sooner not have fans than have 1,000 or 2,000 in Hillsborough... all it'll do is allow negativity to echo around the stadium.

It not just levels of infections it's numbers in hospitals, in the local area such as rotherham, doncaster, Barnsley that are so still too high.

 

Don't get your hopes up because we could be in tier 3 till at least the new year.

I also suspect rates will start to go back up again now everyone's allowed out and Brenda and Karen can go dawdling round Meadowhall again.

 

So yes, I would be very surprised if our tier changes any time soon.

Would chippy be open?

dont think they would bother with only 10% of normal punters ,even clubs say they will lose money , you want to go into city centre and see what damage all this has done ,my mother said there were only 2 in m&s yesterday upstairs and 2 in john lewis ,all the lot will go within weeks and months ,some are now too used to online buying and have been terrified into not going in the shops or travelling by bus etc . same to a point will happen with football crowds i reckon they will drop by at least 20%.
