'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

And what about those elderly or vulnerable town fans who will not be here next season as a result ?

I honestly think safeguarding lives is a little more important than sport at the moment, these petitions get a bit of a frenzy around them, better to wait for the science to say it’s safe

The German model seems to be working okay, monitoring the local transmission and as long is not out of control allowing 20% of the capacity of the stadium. As harsh as it may sound there has to be some balance in all arguments. For as much as I do not want our older, vulnerable supporters put at increased risk, I also do not think it's fair to carte blanche ban all fans. Surely there is a way of allowing the younger less at risk fans, controlled and socially distanced back in?..yes, our older vets will miss out, but it would improve the viewing for them on any stream having fans in there.

Read the petition and it says that safety processes should be in place

You don't have to sign it. People don't have to go if they don't want to. I think that we just about still have freedom of choice, although that is debatable!

I know there has to be balance, the Germans at least seem to have a strategy and a working test and trace system, unfortunately in the U.K. it is an absolute mess. If these young go in should they be barred from shops and pubs we’re older people are ?

If you’re elderly and vulnerable then perhaps it’s not wise to be going along. If you’re healthy and willing, then you absolutely should be allowed.

In December they’re allowing people into the 02 arena but apparently can’t allow fans in an open air stadium? It’s absolute nonsense that will kill off football clubs.

The lack of support for it on this thread is confusing.

The impetuosity of youth. I'm guessing you're a young man, to whom football is a big part of your life. I love football, but my life is more important.
