Loco Rojo Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Surely these new announced measures are an indication that no fans will be returning to games? And if football still allows it, why would people want to risk it? Zero chance of containing this new variant of the virus by verbally telling people to stay in their area especially if they spotted signs of this back in November. Very worrying and hopefully the Vaccine works against this new strain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Bristol will be back in to either T3 or 4 in a few weeks. Especially when large numbers of people are going to pay no attention to these new rules and travel/stay with family and friends over Christmas regardless.

My point is I don't think they'll be able to contain it (en mass) to just the areas in T4 (hope they can) and it'll spread further resulting in more infections. Fingers crossed the research going on confirms the vaccine can also work against this new strain. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes, thems the rules and have been for weeks and there is every likelihood that as soon as rules are relaxed, numbers will go up again if people aren’t sensible. but nothing announced today has an impact on Boxing Day in Bristol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More fans, less cost per head for these things. It's not unreasonable with 2,000 fans. That's only £50,000. AKA about 5 players wages for a week. Isn't cup gate receipts normally shared, dont know if that's still going to happen in this circumstance but if they have to do all that and share the receipts then you have to wonder if its even worth opening up to fans?

Spot on, completely share your concerns. I think more people need to be making responsible, sensible decisions here. Appreciate there are lots of people who have lost confidence in the Government and will happily stick 2 fingers up to whatever they announce but this is different and impacts everyone. Society needs to do more. It's not a difficult decision to make. If the experts (and I mean scientists and doctors not politicians) are advising to reduce Christmas to 1 day (and i'm sure they would prefer to stop that), then the question of attending a football match shouldn't even be in people's minds as a sensible thing to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) Couple of things. First, I was quite surprised to see that City were putting 4 games on sale at the same time. Tier 2 begins 19th Dec for Bristol. South Glos Tier 3, due to be reviewed 2nd Jan. In that time until the South Glos review, we only have 1 match, on 26th Dec. The next matches are 10/1, 16/1 & 24/1. So, by the time 2nd Jan comes round, South Glos residents could be allowed in, but the limited tickets will likely have already gone. Right up til the end of Jan. Hardly seems fair to South Glos fans. Conversely, the 2nd Jan review may even see Bristol back in Tier 3, so tickets would then have been unnecessarily sold for games up 3 weeks later! Not sure why they don’t just sell tickets for the current review period. Anyway, 2nd point is following today’s announcement. I’m actually quite staggered that, if we are currently in such a dangerous position that people can’t meet more than 1 person outside, nor have any family to their house for Xmas, that football is still going ahead. Seems like utter madness to me. As someone said above, you can’t pop over your mums for Xmas dinner but next day you can sit in a stadium for 2-3 hours with 2,000 strangers. If this latest strain is so potent and worrying, then I’m amazed football is even allowed to continue, let alone having fans in. It’s not exactly ‘essential’ is it really. I don’t wanna be a party-pooper here, but it just makes no sense to me how you can do 1 thing with thousands of strangers but can’t do another thing with 1 member of your family.
