Coronavirus (COVID-19)

I really hope the SG stick to their dates and not to delay the 9th of august by a few weeks. 


If England still sticks with 19th July the 9th august will be the worst scenario date I think.

I can see 2nd August.

Been to both this week, nobody giving a flying f**k.  Even York today was rammed and nobody bothering other than an occasional  did you use covid app.  Aye mate. 

Off to Lancashire tomorrow and from what I hear it's pretty much as normal.

Tbf I was in Nairn today and it was the busiest I have seen the beach area in years! Nobody giving a f**k. Was great to get the kids out to the beach.

Poor phrasing. 

A half-full Centre Court at Wimbledon will appear fuller because it’s quite small and compact. 

It looks full because everyone is seated together at the front of the court. The empty seats are all up the back and are not viewable on normal tv pictures. Kind of negates the purpose of only 50% capacity.

I wonder if this is common practice at all games at Wembley?

I went to a Spurs game a few years ago and we were similarly penned in down Wembley way before being allowed to go up to access the tube.

I remember similar at the other test events.  People weren’t evenly spread throughout stadiums.  Someone on here said it was by design (I had my doubts)

I’m not surprised tennis fans are treated very differently by the media than football fans though.

They did the same at the WCQ down there in 2016. Was infuriating as f**k.

It seemed bizarre, watching the tennis last night and the place looked packed, folk going mental at each point that was played, yet a handful of stewards were sat with a mask on. Looked daft tbh and there certainly wasn’t 50% spaces in the stands that were shown on telly. 
Leitch said last week we might get back to the Scottish football in a full stadium on 10th August which begs the question why not at the start of the season, in the middle of summer, outdoors and in line with other sports throughout UK, since it seems safe enough to pack Wimbledon, Wembley and at the Grand Prix in a few weeks’ time?
