italian dave Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 14 minutes ago, Silvio Dante said: As I said earlier, idiotic decision by the club to sell tickets for games in Jan when we knew tier changes would come. Every sympathy over the Boxing Day game, but the club have created additional problems and refund need by assuming a month in T2 And the email sent out at about 1pm today - inviting people to buy for more games - looks very ill timed. Especially if they aren't going to refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not according to Paul Lambert of Ipswich - He seems to think it only the Premiership Elite that get that - Its a shame they don't do that for the important people of the county such as Nurses and Support Workers.

I’m surprised people are surprised tbh. Winter month were always going to see a big spike as you do with flus and colds etc. The new variant has just exasperated that.

Northern Red Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Football wasn't stopped during the lockdown in November, so why would it be now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get a situation that one team in a league has played seven games more than another it all gets a bit Mickey Mouse imo. We’re not there yet but if we do get there I can see it getting knocked on the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not highly likely at all, there are still 10 clubs that can allow supporters in, the whole point of these restrictions it to control the spread. Football has enough measures in place to carry on just like it did in previous lockdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but that's just claptrap, as soon as the vaccines start taking effect the numbers becoming ill will plummet, most people that are vulnerable will have been protected long before April, it's people like yourself with doom and gloom attitudes that really p me off the fact is at the moment things look bad but you are blinkered if you can't see better times lie just over the horizon.

We have a government that has got everything wrong in dealing with the pandemic so far and it is massive odds on that they will continue to do so. The suggested timelines are pie in the sky. I will agree that they have made a pigs ear of most things, but I genuinely believe the roll out of the vaccine, and more are coming on stream very soon will quickly turn things around at least for the more vulnerable in our society, they have to get this right as there is too much at stake not to.

Harry Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 1 hour ago, 8 men had a dream said: I think that's a bit harsh. I think the club were right to try to get supporters back into the games whilst we were in Tier 2. They weren't to know that these changes would come in so quickly. Even if fans could get back for one game, it would still have been worth it. They have created additional problems with refunds etc, but good on them for at least trying. I think the point Silvio makes is that it was all well and good to sell tickets for the Boxing Day game, but as the tier review was originally due on 2nd Jan, it was pretty obvious to everyone that there’d be tier changes after Christmas. So I just didn’t see the point of them selling tickets for games in the 2nd and 3rd weeks of January when every man and his dog knew the games wouldn’t be going ahead with fans. Edit. To then compound that by emailing supporters about ticket arrangements, literally 1 hour before the tier level was changed, smacks of an incredible naivety.

It’s the selling of games one month later when the world and his wife knew a tier move was likely, and then after lockdown became more likely, trying to force that sale more today. It’s all a bit amateur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
