CyderInACan Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 First weekend is due to be 6th/7th/8th August. Which for a change won’t clash with the Balloon Fiesta so we could be home. All seems a long time away but the reality is obviously quite different. Will we be allowed back in in the usual numbers or will we be socially distanced still? Will we have any players!? Peterboro (h) Saturday 3pm for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things are starting to go downhill quite rapidly again unfortunately and can’t see how they will allow full capacity. Maybe the percentage allowed in will increase but no way will it be full.

robin_unreliant Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 I wonder if they might introduce vaccine passports for attending big crowd events like sport and festivals as a compromise. They have been clear on not doing it for pubs etc but even did test events for stadia so surely it may still be considered. Anyone with 2 jabs can go plus negative tests within 48 hrs. Apparently the test events resulted in very few cases. This would allow clubs to get commercially viable numbers in and minimise risk. However the admin might be a bit of a nightmare.

Like most fans I’m interested in the fixture release rather than getting excited about it, I look for certain dates, Boxing Day is one, NY is another and of course the first match of the season.

I've always put the new City fixtures straight up on the calendar (up until the New Year obviously) because I plan aspects of my life around the dates of home games. It's not so much an exciting day for me, more very useful information when it comes to planning ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the various media outlets report scientific opinions that very enormously and none of us will know until the 21st June. I don't think that was ever a given. Even under the original road map plan for June 21, "events" were still a "subject to" status, ie possibly still subject to restrictions. Mostly that seems to have been about the results from the test events, which have reportedly been positive (although government hasn't seen fit to release them yet) so - Delta variant aside - you'd hope we'd be OK. But as you say current views on what that variant means seem mixed. I'm also keen to know what it will mean for away games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, those and new grounds for me. Sadly, next season there are none, so that will make it less interesting for me. Really disappointed we lost Brentford and their new ground, and if Lincoln had come up that would have made it two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're really not though. Yes, cases are climbing (as you would expect with the easing of lockdown) but deaths and hospitalisations are low and relatively stable, which are the two important factors. I'm not saying we'll definitely be back in full capacity in August, but the picture is nowhere near as bleak as you're painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not to the numbers seen in winter but it’s all relevant from where we were before Delta, but it’s a worry that it will keep rising whilst there are lots of people with no vaccine or only one vaccine. 15 minutes ago, elhombrecito said: I'm not saying we'll definitely be back in full capacity in August, but the picture is nowhere near as bleak as you're painting.

RedM Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 I like to know first game, last game, Xmas and New Year games, any ‘local’ rivals (which have only been the Welsh teams lately) and any new grounds. I always like fixture release day personally. A sign that football and ll the hope it brings is resuming soonish, I guess the return is even more emotional now after having been away for so long. I too would be amazed if we are allowed to sit next to eachother again in full capacity. Hope I am wrong though, it will feel quite weird for some being so close to strangers.
