Valid points but don't forget it's getting to the coldest part of the year so anyone wanting something to warm up with in the ground don't really have a choice.

I'm glad I wasn't completely mad lol

Southampton FC women v Bristol City

I know this will sound crazy but I'm sure when I walked into the pub after the city game the sky teleprinter indicated one of the games went into extra time

On talksport 2 shortly

Just seen the weekend highlights on ITV1, any idea why Rovers were playing in their yellow and green away kit?

I admire someone's optimism that offering 20% off up to 2pm will be an incentive to get people into the ground much earlier

I'm never convinced about how big a fan he really is. Met him on a train back from work from East Croydon once he's not the super fan we believed

The English Football League has reportedly issued new advice to segregate players into those who are doubled jabbed against coronavirus, boosted, previously infected and unvaccinated on team coaches. The Government has introduced new measures to try to tackle the spread of the Omicron variant and now the EFL, which covers the three leagues beneath the Premier League, has taken steps in an effort to limit the impact within football. The 72 clubs across the Championship, League One and League Two are being instructed to think about how they split up their players when travelling to and from matches to try to reduce possible transmission, according to The Telegraph. The report also claims that the EFL's guidance is that goalkeepers within its divisions should not train together to lessen the chance of becoming a 'close contact' should there be a positive Covid test and therefore reduce the likelihood of disruption. The EFL have reportedly sent all of its members new guidance to consider until the end of next month in a bid to prevent matches being postponed over what is a typically jam-packed festive period. While the Premier League has also contacted all 20 top-flight clubs to re-impose their emergency Covid measures, and both football bodies strongly advise against Christmas parties this month. EFL players have also been instructed to bear in mind contact 'outside of their bubble', social distancing while at work, including not all sitting down for meals at the same time. The news comes after Tottenham's Premier League clash against Brighton, scheduled for Sunday, was postponed due to the Covid outbreak within the camp. Spurs also saw Thursday's European Conference League match against Rennes called off. As coronavirus continues to take grip of English football, top-flight officials have sent a memo to all clubs informing them of the decision to revert back to emergency measures. Teams have been forced to abide by a stringent set of protocols since the return of football in June 2020, including social distancing and the use of PPE at training grounds, but those have slowly relaxed in recent months thanks to increasing vaccination rates among players. But the Premier League have told all 20 teams that the long-standing emergency measures are now back in place. Meanwhile, proof of coronavirus vaccination or a negative lateral flow test will be required for spectators to attend sporting events in England with crowds of over 10,000 after the Government announced it is to implement 'Plan B'.

A simple lateral flow test... No need for any vaccinations

On this day in 1979 – The eradication of the smallpox virus is certified, making smallpox the first of only two diseases that have been driven to extinction (rinderpest in 2011 being the other) Imagine the scenes if this was now

Personally don't see it as restricting me from doing anything, if I have to show a screen on my app to gain access somewhere that is no issue

Think you could be correct, that does ring a bell now you say that

Does anyone remember if the mate of Bradley Orr's got punished when he ran on and jumped on his back? It was more frowned upon in those days, but can't remember what the outcome was

Millwall Vs Palace is a local derby, reckon Everton are picked as a potential upset Would say neither Yeovil or Bournemouth have much of a following so little value in covering live

Really predictable selection

I was clearly too impulsive in moving this thread originally but like many before it is predictable how these threads drift into other discussions......

Perhaps you understand now @Son of Fred?

Odd that there is currently a TV advert advertising his Ashton Gate concert but only mentions the first one on the Wednesday and multiple times state this is the last opportunity to see him... Clearly looks like the additional date was an after thought

Reportedly crashed due to the sudden influx in people suddenly accessing it at the same time. I noticed that the app changed a few weeks ago between when I went on holiday to when I went to the show in London

Can only assume this falls under the number of people who they would come into contact with, so would not be an issue

Out of interest how does this apply when you can't retest for 90 days?
