Fans Returning/Cases Rising

Quoted from Stadium

Goes ahead as planned today.

Tweet 1303606847472128000 will appear here...

Not Thursday Friday or Saturday though . No surprise.

Quoted from TheRonRaffertyFanClub

Rather than us getting worked up over national issues, maybe we should just take a step back and look locally at the situation.

In particular look at the number of infections and deaths in our local hospital and the ages of those fatalities.

I take it you are referring to the (relatively) low numbers in the local area

while you are looking at the GET can I refer you to the series of photographs which appear in the on-line version every Monday showing all the silly drunk twits in the Seaview Street bars totally ignoring any social distancing measures. (some superb ladies legs on view though!)

Saw those Swin, the legs anyway. Yes it’s true what you say but I’m just saying that the local situation is different to the National figures that seem to drive the government.  Incidentally, this is the first time the individual hospital stats have been published. I asked for these in April and the GT said they had asked already but the Trust refused to release them. Why would it take a FIA request to get some information like that I wonder, why did the Trust not want people to know that Scunthorpe had by far the most infections?

I think, bearing in mind the total stupidity of those ignoring social distancing, that finding out Scunthorpe was worse than Grimsby would only have led to an even greater 'it's all alright we don't have to worry about it' feeling amongst the idiots. Shame the figures have come out now I reckon.

So what do these new rules from Monday mean for football crowds? Is that not considered a large public gathering?

Highly unlikely considering it seems they don't think a racecourse with a large expanse and a lot of social distancing measures put in place are safe enough.  But you can still go to an enclosed pub/club, no social distancing and no face masks, so all is good

Why do you say that Swin? Just because some are idiots doesn't mean we all are and I would want to know what the situation is near me. Like you I'm not in GY now but it's the same principle round here. Stupid big media headline last week about huge rise in Breckland cases when in fact they were connected with one factory and restricted to one small area but they have to try and terrify the rest of us until eventually we see the truth in the small print.

I just think, in respect of areas with low numbers like Grimsby Norfolk and Suffolk, it only adds to the complacency factor amongst the stupid ones

A little bit of President Trump's 'fake news' about the numbers might not go amiss in an effort to wake some folk up!

According to BJ trials of spectators attending sports venues are going to be reviewed, so looks likely that fans will not be returning anytime soon.

"Plans to pilot larger audiences in stadiums and to allow conferences to go ahead from October will be put on hold."

So yeah commiserations to anyone who applied for a season ticket on the basis that we'd all be allowed back in by October with only the Salford game being played behind closed doors (lol this includes me lol)
