Alas fans aren’t allowed in stadiums but Tories are allowed to hunt foxes in groups of 30.

And the 10pm rule doesn't apply to them in their subsidised bar either.

Let's see what happens in the new year, there is no rush to get fans back in stadiums in 2020. It may work in other countries, but maybe in March/April next year spectators may be allowed back in reduced numbers.

Local amenities and pubs should have their measures in place too. There's no excuse. What you're saying is,we are too stupid to follow these important life threatening rules.

Just to run this one past you.

If your ground has 10 pubs in the locality, which can each take 50 fans = 500 fans, where on earth are the rest going to go for a beer and do they each run on first come first served or a booking system ?
Also, even in a modern ground like the one at Leigh, how the hell does everyone remain socially distant ?
Even if they sell say 1/3 of seats and everyone get's there, with staggered arrivals etc, what happens with the constant trips to the bar / toilet
Maybe you close the bar and issue all fans with incontinence pants

I'm not an alcoholic but, when you watch Trinity, you DO need a drink, it would be immoral to force people to watch whilst sober

Oh C'mon Wrenners, there was going to be a trial in some sports to let fans in on the 1st Oct. A little rise in infections, and it gets scrapped,but now we have mass gatherings @ 10pm all over the country spreading the Kung Flu. You couldn't make it up. Just speaking of rugby league, we have never even trialled a fans return,so those who are against it are just guessing and predicting what MIGHT happen. I will now take a guess. If SL clubs where given the nod to trial a fans return with stringent restrictions in place (which is what Iv'e been advocating). My GUESS is that they would do,and fans will be scrambling for a ticket.

BTW - I like your last paragraph, you naughty boy.

I’m by no means advocating people taking risks, more to give people the choice to go to games if they wish to and can do so safely. I very much doubt having 10%, 20% or even 30% capacity will be any more dangerous than being stuck on a plane for a few hours with maybe 8 other people within 2 meters of you. And how many thousands of people have flown out on holiday since flights restarted? Non league football clubs at the lower levels have been allowed several hundred fans in despite their grounds being much harder to manage and enforce social distancing and that’s worked well enough so I don’t see why large stadiums with better facilities, more space, CCTV, online ticket sales with known and accurate contact details can’t start to reopen. Not everyone would choose to go, in the same way that many haven’t been to non essential shops, pubs, restaurants, public transport, hair dressers, beauty salons and so on. Pretty much every other industry has reopened and nobody has really batted an eyelid!

Thank you to everyone who has signed the petition as well, I appreciate this isn’t for everyone but I do feel there are a lot of people out there who this matters to!
