One Team Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 Obviously more important things going on, but with keeping this football related, with Wales going into lockdown Friday do you read that as our fixture with them on Saturday being postponed?

Lrrr Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 Pretty sure elite sport gets a pass, particularly for us as we can travel on the day straight to the stadium. If it had been Middlesbrough may have been a different story or a moved kick off time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question. Obviously, there were no games during the UK lockdown - I don't see why this should be any different ? But its such a shambles that there will probably be an exemption.

Players and staff get tested very regularly, think elite football is fairly low risk even with Wales on another temporary lockdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was where I was coming from. When we were in lockdown there was no football and only started once there was an easing of restrictions. If this is the same then surely all Welsh football is off?

ralphindevon Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 The Swansea game Lansdown restaurant hospitality is a strange one. I'm really tempted to go, just to do something City related with other City fans. But I think it'd do my head in knowing the game was going on just through the doors and my seat was meters away. Surley they can call that their beer garden and let us sit outside in the stadium.......as long as we had a drink and some food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
