Return of Supporters

BillCarlisle Ex-Manchester said:
Having watched the Coronavirus briefing tonight it seems pretty clear to me that we won't see supporters back at the Etihad in any great number this season, if any at all. It seems that the best we can expect for a vaccine roll out is by Easter for the vulnerable group & NHS staff plus other front line workers. Mass vaccination is going to be further down the line. In addition of course Manchester has got to get itself out of Tier 3 which is going to be a long haul by the look of things.
Like many fellow Blues on here I resigned myself to writing off this season long ago. Now hoping that the Covid nightmare will be behind us by next summer so we can all get back to the stadium without restrictions.
Looking on the bright side, the way City have been performing this season it's been a good time to be prevented from going - watching on telly has been bad enough, but nowhere near as expensive !

We FOCs from CBL3 will only have to show our GP the tartan rug, the Fergy mints (humbugs to the uninitiated), a cup of Bovril, and we'll be rushed to the front of the vaccine queue by Christmas and our STs will arrive just in time for the first game of 2021. Get it sorted, Marwood!
 
As the crowd is often referred to as the 'twelfth man' exactly how fair would it be to play a team in Tier One when yer own team is in Tier Three. We at MCFC often have to beat eleven defenders, the Whistling Wankers, FlagWavingWannabes and a video system that would't get a computer programmer out of bed in the morning, and now it's expected to play teams that are able to have their fans in the stadium - we have won titles playing thirty odd games against fifteen, but against sixteen it might be even too much for God's Own.

It's a farce mate, but what do you expect from the greedy cvnts who brought us "PROJECT - LiVARpool can't be denied the title that's been engineered for them by PiGMOL and the multi-billionaire football club owners need more of your money so football must continue for the integrity of the sport despite a global pandemic"?

In my opinion the speed at which normality returns will be linked to the degree to which the vaccines are sterilising. If they are sterilising i.e. the vaccine reduces transmission as well as illness, then the epidemic should fall rapidly, and fear for the future will fall with it.

When the 1/3 of the UK population that is over 50 and vulnerable are vaccinated serious restrictions should end. I am sure the NHS has plans and timetables but I don't know what they are.

The tone of the announcements was cautious because the authorities want people to remain cautious, and of course we should be so.
 
City are making plans for fans to potentially return as early as next week! there is a feeling that as the North West's rates are currently falling faster than any other region in England, with Manchesters confirmed cases dropping, there could be some light at the end of the tunnel yet 1606217390522.png
 
Have to wonder whether City will be bothered to open up for 4000 supporters, even if allowed. The announcement feels aimed at smaller clubs where 4000 represents a large percentage of their gate. For City it's what, 8%?

Think it's irrelevant as there is no chance we will be in Tier 1 any time soon, but @liamctid made a decent suggestion yesterday about playing games at the CFA. Not sure if it'd actually be allowed though.
 
Anfield's 4000 would be snapped up by this country's adoring press.
