Why allow away fans all the club's have just 1 home game for the last 2 fixtures of the season,silly idea.

Could well be a trial run to see what is possible for next season.

I hope that happens but how can they have fully assessed the success of the trial events to make a decision. Have they had the PCR test results of all those that went to Wembley ? Don't think so ! All those who've been at the Snooker. It always looked like a tick box thing as the PCRs were not mandatory.

Good points. I'd have thought any positive noises would be more to do with the ongoing data regarding no big spikes following lifting of restrictions so far, coupled with the real world effectiveness of the vaccines.

Yes but for only 2000 tickets
Now it’s 10000 I would imagine there would be some criteria and some ballot too

We were looking at 12,000 fans for the Newcastle game and all subsequent ones. I think that was 12 home games, so nearly 150k fans would get the opportunity to attend. That's probably all SC holders and Cityzens members. On that basis we were quite happy for the ballot to encompass the normal percentage of Cityzens who would be at a full stadium (which is about 15% I think, maybe a bit more).

But with it being just one game, we'd prefer to change the criteria.

PCR tests are absolute dog shit anyway and tell us nothing.

We were only allowed 2k for Newcastle if in tier 2 and we were tier 3 which was 0. 4k was for tier 1, there was never any chance of anything like 12k.

PCR tests are more reliable than the lateral flow tests.

PCR tests are more reliable than the lateral flow tests.

More unpleasant though

 

[Gremlin]

More unpleasant though

How so? You have to stick the same swab down your throat and up your nose in both, it's just what you do with it afterwards that differs.

Interesting seeing reports about how the test events saw no increase in cases.
I have just done my PCR test so presumably I don’t need to wait for the text message to arrive saying the result.

Just seems stupid to me, it's one game, just get the season done with now and then you've got 2/3 months for the situation to change and to get plans in place for the new season. Use the euros as guinea pigs if needs be.
