I agree it very much is, but it’s the big clubs that hold the weight in the argument (and whatever they like to think Villa are not at the top table or anywhere near it). It’ll be the Liverpools, Chelsea’s, Spurs, Arsenals and Manchester clubs that dictate this and that hold the clout on this one. I’m sure there will be threats of breakaways to the much fabled European Super League etc being bandied about if they don’t get their own way and the Prem will kow tow.

I think we can see from the behaviour of Spurs this week just which way this will go unfortunately. Hope I’m proved wrong but I can’t see any way that those top clubs will not do everything they can in order to not jeopardise their primary income stream. There may be a few outliers who will want to do the right thing, but can’t see it. All these crazy suggestions coming out just show how desperate they are to conclude it and not lose their precious tv revenues.

The actions of a proper ‘community’ club when it’s actually desperately needed. Actions rather than words. Good on them.

Unbelievable. Can’t believe they’d charge anything at all for such a vital not for profit service like you say, let alone hike the prices. Sad times Bristol Sport.

Is that true?

Some of them were.

Sounds like he needs sectioning.

People selling it for £100 a tin on the bay apparently. Scum. Pure and utter scum.

This forum has been the worst I have seen regards some of the scaremongering and doomsday scenarios being presented, across all the social media I engage with. Very surprised tbh but each to their own!

Not at all and I think it will be being discussed as a very real possibility once more data becomes available. If the risk is deemed ‘acceptable’ - and I don’t want to get political on that point - it will happen I’d imagine. Just depends what the Tories deem acceptable.

Then the blame would be on the government not the worker for not ensuring people are being cared for quickly enough.

Yep. If Brexit didn’t bring out the worst of our country (on both sides - before anyone cries foul) then this situation really really is. It will also bring out the best in people, which won’t go as widely reported of course, but the selfishness shown by many will I’m afraid once and for all dispel any remaining notion of Britain being a sharing and caring society with a high moral compass.

There’s been no civil disobedience anywhere else with those stringent measures already in place. Why would there be here? There won’t be, it’s just more scaremongering.

Yep was saying exactly this to my missus earlier. I got 3 grades higher than I was predicted at A level due to busting my balls big time in the 3 months leading up to the exams so would’ve been screwed by this. She would’ve benefited though as she actually did slightly worse than predicted. I’d imagine they’ll be very lenient though in this situation.

If people stop acting like dicks then there’s a better chance it won’t happen. Pubs packed yesterday for Paddy’s day apparently in a lot of cities.

Think even our one will get bored of her screens eventually! Going to be interesting times but we will see how it all pans out. Feel very sorry for those kids with exams due, must be a very stressful time for them and their parents especially.

All schools now closing from Friday afternoon until further notice except for key workers kids and vulnerable kids

There are no words for some of the scum that we share this earth with (well there are but I’ll probably get banned) https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/coronavirus-death-north-somerset-fundraiser-3961485

We’re doing this in Aldi yesterday tbf.

Heard that last night but that it was just toward the Prem only if they we’re to declare the season null and void. Got to be bull at this stage I’d imagine but no doubt whatever happens it’ll get messy!

This left the football arena pages back. Let it go I reckon. F all else to talk about!

Against my better judgment I have had some sympathy with Alex dP and his running of the crisis so far. However apparently on a call with leaders of industry regards manufacturing more ventilators this morning he suggested they should call the project ‘operation last gasp’. The man is a ***t of the highest order.

Calmness in adversity is not solely a British National trait. It’s a saying from WW2 (where it had true meaning and purpose) that some clever marketing people have subsequently made lots of money from, but to suggest it’s an actual national stereotype is simply not true I’m afraid and the evidence is clearly being seen by the actions of many of our selfish compatriots unfortunately.

Really? Is that why all the panic buying has taken place then? Why supermarkets are having to put out messages on mass on social media asking people to be considerate of others and are restricting purchases of certain items? I think it’s a bullshit slogan theta easy to say during the good times but that has already been shown to be not true during the worrying times - as is being demonstrated currently by many of our fellow citizens unfortunately. Luckily there are plenty of very decent minded people also, but to say that’s our national character is I’m afraid complete tosh! Wibble

Awful situation for you CR. The attitude of some people on this absolutely stinks and some of the stuff going around regards peoples views on ‘natural selection’ is truly unbelievable although in this day and age not too surprising unfortunately. I wish you and yours well and let’s hope this is over or at least calms down sooner rather than later.
