  1. I would assume that's why they test them so that sort of thing doesn't happen.
  2. Yes I know that, I did say assuming we didn't go up, but seriously was just thinking it might be a way that the club wont have to shell out a shedload of money in refunds when they can least afford it.
  3. Probably the first time in my life to do with Bristol City I'm praying we don't get a positive result.
  4. Would people be happy if the club were to say to existing season ticket holders we will only base next seasons price on 18 games and price it accordingly (assuming we don't go up)
  5. And you know that how? there may be a slight rise at first as there is more social contact but as far as a second wave is concerned you like everyone else is merely guessing.
  6. Does that mean there will be no promotion from the National league?
  7. Clubs have voted to end the season and decide positions on a points per game basis with no relegation and still to contest the playoffs, league one couldn't agree and will sit again on Monday. This topic is on the coronavirus thread as well I have just noticed so maybe look on that one.
  8. Over apparently decided on a points per game method, playoffs still to be contested with no relegation, league one to meet again Monday as yet undecided.
  9. Clubs have voted to end the season, league 0ne couldn't agree.
  10. All pitches have to conform to a certain size there is a minimum and maximum I'm pretty sure therefore that ours would meet all criteria.
  11. Hence why he is the only person I have ever put on ignore, it's bliss not having to read the crap he comes out with.
  12. I think the old Div 3 north and south would be a good compromise depending on how many clubs are viable.
  13. Yes they are guilty of a lot of things I will certainly agree on that. I don't read it to be educated or even informed as such but it has a certain charm in its own way and the sports coverage especially the football is pretty good. I actually read the Mail as my daily though to some that seems just as bad.
  14. All the papers circulations are way down due to the internet, my point was it remains the most bought so obviously is the most read (I think a lot more than a million actually read it) though I get your point.
  15. As I said I read it on Saturdays only and take most of it with a certain scepticism, yes calling it a NEWSpaper is a bit of a stretch, they were wrong in the way they reported Hillsboro but I have said elsewhere that was 24 years ago and the people working on it today can't really be held responsible for the actions of the people then, a bit like the war the German people today are not to blame for what happened 80 years ago, some people can never forgive them for it and I can completely understand that but it seems on here to admit you even read the Sun is heresy and I find that a bit strange, most papers if not all have printed things which are later proved to be false the Sun made a huge error of judgment and have apologised many times I personally have accepted that and moved on.
  16. It was 24 years ago they have apologised god knows how many times and have admitted they got it wrong I don't know what more they can do, if you don't want to let it go that's your prerogative.
  17. No it's not, but people continually use the Liverpool/Hillsboro reporting as a stick to beat them with, look if all news paper circulations are down but the Sun is still the biggest seller (I only have the official circulation figures to go on) then a lot of people are still reading it, depending on your political persuasion you will either choose the Mail and Sun or something like the mirror or Guardian personally I lean towards the Former but certainly take most of what they say with a good pinch of salt.
  18. The Sun, do you mean the paper with the largest daily circulation in the UK (apart from one other which is free) why apologise, either people are lying about reading it (due to its circulation) or there are a lot of hypocrites that read it but pretend to be outraged about it, personally I only buy it on a Saturday, but let's not play at being outraged by it's existence because of what went on about the Liverpool reporting, they made a huge error of judgment we now know with hindsight they were completely wrong, hold your hands up who hasn't done the same at some point?
  19. Well the current capacity is 27,000 if the old was around 38,000 that's about a ratio of 1.5 to 1
  20. What if this vaccine currently being developed and tested next week actually works? you can't make sweeping statements such as there will be no football played in front of fans this year or well into next you simply have no idea and are just giving your opinion you may turn out to be right let's hope not.
  21. It's not the number of deaths so much as the number of new cases despite as I said the almost total suspension of our social and economic activity plus social distancing the number of new cases actually rose in the 24 hours preceding Friday to 5699, the day before Thursday 16th the new case total was virtually identical to what it had been over 2 weeks previously so the lockdown measures have NOT reduced these new case figures, that is what to me is the most alarming statistic I'm glad the NHS will be able to cope with 5,000 new cases but again when are we going to see some reduction? surely by now over 4 weeks into lockdown that should have happened.
  22. All is a slight exaggeration though I admit it can feel like that if you pick the wrong ones to attend, personally I had been pretty lucky up until it was called off.
  23. 5599 new cases and 847 deaths so despite closing down almost everything socially and work related there is absolutely no sign of any slow down in the number of either. I don't know about you but I'm beginning to lose hope things will get better anytime soon, when are we going to see any benefit from the sacrifice we are all making?
  24. Ridiculous isn't it the test would last as long as the next door handle you touched, would prove nothing.
  25. Blimey I thought I was old!! (or was that the 80s version?)
