Fans back at the Etihad

All those protests and raves recently should be a good indication it must be a few weeks now since their peak and there has been no big spike in cases. Some experts say a second wave is coming some say not. Wait and see i guess.

As long as you're one of those 500/0


Me personally, I have empathy will my fellow match goers. Which is why I fully believe that football should not have started until it was safe enough for everyone to go back.

As it stands, I don't think anyone should go back until all fans can.

Don't agree. I'll be one of the last back probably as a matchday goer. Wouldn't want that to deny some or all s/c holders getting the chance to go earlier than me.
 
Personally, it won’t be worth going until it’s full capacity, a few thousand fans spaced out one on each row isn’t going to generate any kind of atmosphere worth experiencing.

We surely won’t see away fans at all next season and I don’t see how we can expect anywhere near a capacity crowd before next year at the absolute earliest, so long as my seasoncard status is maintained and there’s no risk of losing it or my place in the points queue I’ve already mentally written off next season in terms of attending games.

The clubs will compensate for the lost revenue with bigger tv deals, every game will be on tv next season, I just hope the club has plans to launch its own armchair season ticket, I’d much rather give them money than the vultures at sky.
 
No one has a scooby doo when we will be able to go back.

The sooner the better, but until a vaccine is available, i just can't see it happening, but hope I am wrong.

Got a meeting with the club on Monday - virtually of course - and I believe we're talking about how the immediate future looks.

I can't see how a small percentage of fans can be let back in fairly. A ballot would separate friend and families, every other row would do the same, how would getting in and out of the stadium be managed - row by row like an aeroplane just isn't feasible. How would the capacity on the toilets be managed, queuing to get in, using transport to get to the ground. It just isn't sensible and that's before you talk about away fans. I think it will be January at the earliest unless a vaccine is freely available before then.

A vaccine for 60m people is a pipe dream at the moment.
 
We won't be going back until there's a greater understanding of the long term effects of this thing, a reliable test and trace to squash flare ups, and/or a vaccine.

I have a new born and health issues in our family. I can't help but think all this rush to reopen for things like football is fucking idiotic. There's peer reviews starting to come in covering potential long term effect ands we don't know how this thing will pan out over the winter. Everyone over here seems to think we are past the worst of it and I really hope we are, but caution has been thrown to the wind it seems.

Exactly and they might never even come up with one.

They keep banging on about all these measures being implemented if it is safe to do etc but imho they will push ahead no matter what now, the economy is on its arse and they need to get it moving again.

I understand I don't know you or your situation and, for all I know, you (or people close to you) may be especially vulnerable to the virus. In which case you have my sympathies.

My point was that there are risks in all walks of life.
Whether it be crossing roads or mixing with people.
Nothing is 100% safe.

That's all.
