As much as there's a health implication, just seems a bit pointless if they come back in Jan or whatever feeling like they've played half a season! I get clubs cutting pitches to stop them turning into hayfields but the training beyond what is required seems counter-productive. Especially now. Anyone anticipating an 'as you were' on the 24th? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's happened high enough up the pyramid in England, Droylsden for one. Well at least covid would bring about something positive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Meanwhile in Wuhan... If the season doesn't happen it will probably be because Nicola Sturgeon has well and truly lost the plot where the SNP's nanny state tendencies are concerned, but I seriously doubt that will happen. Pandemics usually run out of enough people to infect that don't have immunity built up from a prior infection to keep the R0 number above 1. Evidence is growing that with COVID-19 that can be from other coronaviruses where a large portion of the population is concerned, which is why the number of people needing a ventilator at peak was a lot less drastic than anticipated. Suspect it could easily be January rather than October though. The October 17th timeline looks on the optimistic side, because the strict lockdowns mean there could still be enough people that have not been exposed to the virus to generate a significant second wave when the politicians initially try to get back to full normality. Nicola S has a track record of playing it very safe. Edited August 18, 2020 by LongTimeLurker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 News of some progress from south of the Border: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53817206 BBC Sport 18th August, 2020 By Laura Scott Fans will be allowed to attend football in the seventh tier and below, after the government updated its guidance on recreational team sport events. Clubs in the leagues below National League North and South will be able to open their gates to spectators for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic began. The decision means a distinction has been drawn between the return of fans to recreational sport and elite sport, where pilots are required before an intended expansion from 1 October. It comes after more than 30 MPs wrote to sports minister Nigel Huddleston calling for the "urgent return of fans to non-league clubs". The letter, which was coordinated by former sports minister Tracey Crouch and Dame Cheryl Gillan, warned that clubs "at the heart of our constituencies" could be "lost forever" if an exemption is not granted. BBC Sport can reveal that the government's return to recreational team sport framework was updated on Tuesday afternoon to draw up protocols for allowing spectators in. Fans will need to abide by social distancing rules, and spectator groups must be restricted to "discrete six-person gathering limits". Meanwhile, organisers of events that are likely to attract a crowd will need to put forward a "named person or persons with responsibility for ensuring adherence with these guidelines and ensuring the facility is Covid-19 secure". They would also need to publish a risk assessment limiting the number of spectators, and assist with the NHS Test and Trace scheme by collecting information from spectators. The MPs who signed the letter had said that non-league clubs "tend to be supported by those within the town itself" and that average crowds are "in the hundreds". BBC Sport understands that the Football Association defines elite football as being everything from the Premier League down to National League North and South, which explains why the new rules apply to step three and below. A campaign using the slogan "#LetFansIn" has gained significant traction among non-league clubs in recent days, while two petitions supporting the cause have received more than 6,000 signatures. Crouch posted on Twitter: "Football has many wonderful layers but non-league is often at its heart and soul. With fewer fans it's easier to make clubs Covid secure but without them coming back soon their future is shaky so we've written to Sports Minister calling for non-league clubs to #LetFansIn." She later told the BBC that not allowing fans to attend non-league football "makes no sense". An FA spokesperson said: "We continue to follow government advice with regards to the return of spectators and are working continuously with the Sports Ground Safety Authority, DCMS and Leagues to seek approval for a safe return as soon as feasibly possible."

Expect that’s happening all over the place and won’t go unnoticed by the powers that be I suspect It's been happening for months all across the country and we haven't seen a spike in Covid due to football teams training etc so that can only be a good thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can do that there six months or so after their first wave peak of infections after the way that the less than fully democratic Chinese state introduced extreme lockdown measures, it's a stretch to imagine we won't have people watching WoS football under social distancing conditions up to almost a year after our one unless Nicola S goes batschit (as opposed to bat soup) crazy.
