San Fran City Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Is anyone thinking of being around the ground for it. I get that large groups of fans will be likely swarmed upon, but groups of six, presumably 2 meters apart, is permitted right? If it’s a sunny day, I would like to take a few cans in the park and watch the stream - keeping it above board obvs. Think we will see supporters around all clubs trying to create something, particularly if the game really hinges on something important, which could be all our reminding fixtures. No statues smashed, firms popping, park rocking.... unless we go out on pens.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meh Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 R rate is highest in South West. How? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Fran City Posted June 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Which had zero effect on last weekends 10k gathering in town? I’m not talking similar Grenville - mob, but surely fans will gravitate to the church on match day? Not exactly Spain/Italy early restrictions right now.

Wasn't that R number wrong because of incorrect results from tests carried out that skewed the result overall for the Southwest, small inconsistencies like that can really make a difference when so few people overall have the virus generally in this region. I would imagine the R number was significantly below 1 in the majority of the region, though I'm no expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 100% understand the temptation to show up... However- DON'T DO IT! In Germany they appear to have shown discipline, by and large, to stay away from the stadia though I've not been following that side of things so much but no reports of mass gatherings near or outside grouinds, Just don't do it. PS- I don't know this for a fact but read on two separate Tweets that fans in Germany have basically been told that if fans gather outside ground, risk of abandonment is high- perhaps a given.

weepywall Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Certainly wouldn't do it myself but I think its almost bound to happen at some games across the country and It could be quite large numbers that turn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieH Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 I would urge supporters not to gather at or near to grounds, the biggest reason being the dreaded r factor in the south west and the risk of covid to not just yourself but spreading to others. The situation once games start is continually being reviewed by police/ clubs and the fa and their biggest worry is groups of fans gathering and risk of further spreading . police numbers are stretched everywhere in the uk at the moment and it would be great for football fans not to place more burden on policing at this very torrid time. I absolutely understand the desire and passion to be near the ground but be aware game by game is being reviewed and ongoing discussions after each game are planned to take place by fa and those in charge , please don’t gather , stay home and stay safe until we can all come safely back to football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snufflelufagus Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 So you will sit in the park and watch the game on your phone? You'd then occasionally glance up to see the houses or top of the stand? I'm not quite sure how that is enchancing your match day experience ? Actually you've now given me a great idea for later today. Im going to download some films take my tablet with me, and sit outside in the carpark outside Vue cinemas to enhance my viewing experience of the films.

Norn Iron Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Just humour me and imagine.... imagine the Atyeo stand had never been built so that the houses behind could still watch the game (ok, not the houses but the humans inside). Consequently, the owners could make a few pounds by renting out a window for fans to watch. I seem to remember that the Park End houses only saw three quarters of the pitch? Maybe you'd have to clamber onto the roof (risk assessment plus health and safety documentation obviously will be provided by owners) for a better view? This could affect the pricing of the 'match day ticket' on offer. Which leads to the inevitable question, how much would Otibers be prepared to pay on matchday for a window view?

Live football is all about the social aspect and atmosphere. If those aren't there, then may aswell just watch it on the streaming channels, until we're allowed back. The more ways people try and find to wriggle around the rules, the longer it will take for us to be allowed back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HitchinRed Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 It’s a great way to get the EFL to abandon the league. Therefore, my only request is to wait until we’re in the play offs before doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comes as no surprise that there are and will be regular, game by game reviews. Football will have had to return under tight and fairly stringent conditions I'd have thought. Plus as you say, regular and ongoing reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a reason to get complacent though and as I am married to someone who is severely at risk I cant be too careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
