Its about how many infections doughnut, and Brazil now has the second highest rate @ 465,166

Indeed, in 15 days between May 15th and 30th it has gone up by 2/3, daily infections continie to rise. The whole of Latis America appears to be similar.

To be fair many of the scientists have said that the sun/warm weather does help to reduce the spread. However as we do know it travels in the moisture droplets so the warmer it is the less it can travel (not sure they’ve linked it to UV). That said obviously if you are in a country that is hot but humid then it must still be a huge problem due to the moisture content in the air. Having been to Brazil it is indeed hot but by hell its also very humid.

Anyway back on topic I think it is feasible to say we could well see the return of fans to outdoor sports stadiums sooner than later as the science/knowledge advances. It would probably mean that everyone wears face masks in the stadia with scanners, sanitizers etc in place.
If the science says means the risk is very minimal then it’s possible but time will tell.

One of the biggest potential issues, as I have mentioned before, would be a need to change the toilet facilities, not such a huge problem at the KC as the trough urinals can come out fairly easily and be replaced with the 'unit style' some of the pubs are looking at, but what Wakefield and Cas do is uncertain (along with a few other clubs, but they are the two I remember that basically have a gutter pipe under a rendered wall).

If the clubs want the fans because they make money, then there are either far more walk ups than we are told, pr we do make money from refreshments (which we are told we dont)...

on the list of things that need to be prioritised in the coming months, getting a round 150,000 a week to RL games isn't high up the list.

Walk ups = attendance minus passholders.

2000 walk ups is around £40k, over a season it'll be £600k, a big number.

yes, a full season, repeated, but the pot is enough to cover the money, what else is it for?

Maybe I shouldn't have underestimated walk ups, if you base it on the season's average attendance then the total could easily be as high as £1.2m.

There's another derby to factor in too - walk ups could be £240k for that game alone.

How's the pot now?

Where's that come from, all I said was that walk ups are significant, based on your assertion that the pot was already big enough, and then you come up with a comment like that?

my point is valid, money is insignificant when it comes to lives.

Then why aim it directly at me?

You're implying that I don't agree. Nasty, disgusting, but nothing new there.
