    I have the opposite as my Mum has just been transferred from Victor Harbor to Flinders in Adelaide in the paliative care unit. Want to visit but just can't. She's been told she only has a couple of weeks left. Feeling devastated.

    So sorry to hear that Tone, it is very difficult to accept mate but I hope you have family & friends close to you to help you through a difficult time. My mum used to say "You just have to get on with life" which is so true but not easy is it. It makes us appreciate things more important than football.

    Our thoughts are with you mate

    Great post. 

    One thing I'd like to add to this, everyone, it's great to tell people you are always there to lend an ear and talk but please, please make sure if you know anyone who is struggling, has struggled in the past or you have any concerns, pick up the phone and give them a call. 

    I see a lot of people who say "I'm there for you, call me if you need" but a lot of people facing dark times won't do that. They will be too worried they'll be judged, won't want to bother you or are so down they can't even face the effort of picking up the phone. 

    Give your friends a call. Give people you know are on their own a call. Take 5 minutes of your time just to check in and say "Hi mate, how are things?" 

    That could really make the difference to someone's day. 

    A great message there MR, I lost my mother this year & because of covid I was unable to make my trip back to the UK to say my goodbyes. Losing a loved one is awful at anytime but these circumstances made it so difficult to accept. I had my immediate family in Oz but calls from friends made a hell of a difference to me. It doesn't sound much to call someone but it does help so call your friends, please!!!

    I see Australia had 52k watching a rugby game in Brisbane today. How far are we away from this?!!

    Adelaide had been case free for 6 months & hosted football with 20,000+ crowds then this week we have had to go into lockdown for 6 days (which everyone is expecting to be longer) as the virus has broken again.

    I was just reading that the UK has nearly 23,000 new cases with 500 deaths, crowds before xmas sounds suicidal to me.

    Stay safe everyone !!!

    Marcus. My condolences to you, Nans are precious are as all family, may she be at peace.

    Agreed, Nans are very special, I've been married to one for 48yrs & I can't imagine what our 2 children, 5 grandchildren & myself would do without her. Our deepest condolences & thoughts go to Marcus & his family & he's correct in saying that football is of no importance when it comes to matters like this.

    Many countries are close to a vaccine breakthrough including the UK. But then you have to move on to clinical trials, production and roll out... That will take many months, years in normal times.

    According to the Ozzie link, apparently because of the fact that both of the drugs that are being combined have been through the stringent tests before in other applications, it could reduce the testing times, lets hope so.

    There will be no passing loop for passinger trains at Pill so it will only be one train an hour on the line , the loop will be there but only for fright train use as only putting 1 platform back into use, the plan now is to make the platform's at the 2 stations on the line able to take 6 coach trains for peak times, 

    All the supporters trains I have dared to enter have been "Fright Trains" :thumbsup:.
