The Coronavirus and its impact on sport/Fans Return (Merged)
MarcusX replied to Loderingo's topic in Football Chat
I can’t see the club doing something that complex. They won’t please everyone no matter how they do it so I’d expect them to just allocate people every other game or 3 game rotation. If you can’t make it maybe you have the option to sell back your ticket or swap with another ST holder. The club will want it to be as simple as possible IMO -

Kings Lynn received promotion to the national league on PPG but chairman was on TV yesterday saying they can’t afford to play games in empty stadiums and would even struggle in 30% capacity, they need the revenue from match day to survive. Such a shame for a club that’s just achieved promotion and should be celebrating. There might be some L1/L2 suffering but the real problem will be in the lower steps. I think that’s where the pro game will see issues, not from the top down but from the bottom up -

Then you have to consider who sits around them, presumably people couldn’t sit directly in front of behind? Or maybe they could as not face to face. That isn’t even the biggest obstacle IMO it’s the concourse, the queues, the outlets and the toilets. -
Hit a bit of a wall today, 22 miles my furthest run of my training plan so far. I think it's partly due to getting my food and drink all wrong. I didn't take much and planned to stop at a shop that I knew was on my route - didn't factor in the shop being shut 2/3rds of the way round my run! I fuelled my 3 hours 45 minutes on 3 cliff jelly cubes and 3 digestive biscuits ? Legs feel awful and I don't want to run again for a long time!

How’s the training going chaps (and lasses?)

A little update on my training, another 18 miles today. Since I started my training plan I've completed 8 of the 16 weeks (though I'd say I'm maybe a week or 2 behind due to injury). I've got 11 weeks til raceday so plenty of time to recover it. Started pulling it all into an excel sheet so I can compare stats, I love a spreadsheet ? 8 weeks 24 runs 193.74 miles so averaging 24.2 a week 54 hours of running! My pace for runs over 10 miles have come down by about 30 seconds, whilst staying the same kind of effort levels (zone 2 to low zone 3) Also, completely injury free now in my ankle since changing trainers! Nothing during or after my runs which is great news. Put in 53 miles this week so really happy with that

Oh wow that's an impressive set of books! I think my initial pitch for the blog is going to be aimed at people new to running or at least running longer distances. I've started compiling a list of questions, mainly things ive been asked since I increased my running but also questions I've had to go and find the answers too. Very much trying to stick to a fellow runner perspective than any type of expert. Someone who's had the same question, gone and done the research and compiled it into one place If and when I start venturing into more advanced questions I'll definitely bend your ear

Anyone seen this? I hate to discredit anyones achievements, however there's a lot of chatter online that the guy's a fraud. Amazing feat if real, but seems loads of pitholes in his story but hes now up for/won a pride of Britain alongisde Major Tom. Seemed to start as 50 halfs in 50 days during Ramadam too, now its 100 marathons round his dining room table, barefoot, in one direction, and has no answers to questions about nutrition or recovery ? Also blocking and deleting loads of comments on his Social pages

That’s a bloody impressive list there! I don’t feel qualified enough to give advice as you’re much more experienced than me but I’d say in terms of controlling your heart rate stick on some music that’s lower BPM or a podcast, something you can switch off too and match the pace I find it hard at the start of runs not to go out fast, but running zone 2 has done me the world of good in terms of increasing my distances

A shot from Afobe and the Williams? header from the long throw. Feels like there were a couple more but only 2 shots on target according to flash scores -

I know, I was one of them, but definitely seemed a lot busier after the goal. Page took ages to load and loads more posts waiting to refresh each tjme -

This thread gets infinitely busier when we’re losing. Sad really -

Definitely a free kick. Ball gone and Weimann kicks him late! Reckless and unnecessary, and absolutely not LJs fault on this occasion. -

Why is that specifically LJs fault? Think he’s got the team set up and play right tonight, the players need to do more on the pitch. Take a risk, be more clinical. -

Ridiculous, he’d lost the ball and he’s on a yellow. No need at all. -

Half time seems to have gone on a bit long? Or is my stream not coming back on ? -

Felt we could have been 2 up very early on with Afobe. One forced the keeper into a low save at the post and a header? -

Pretty good, front line pressing high on their defence. Nagy pulling strings in the middle. Defence reasonably sound so far and 2/3 half decent chances. Worlds apart from the last 2 games -

Always bemuses me when people talk of players getting injured as if it’s the player’s fault or something they like happening to them. Just said so callously. i bet it’s ******* horrible continuously picking up injuries. Our attacking press is looking good, where has this come from? It’s like 17/18 City -
