Seems to me the Government's mid to late May estimate for sport was aimed at putting off mass football fan returns until August. Don't think the timing is completely coincidental.So . . . with COVID rates dropping pretty steeply in the UK and vaccines rolling out . . . any news on when fans might be let back in again?
Just two opportunities for us; Play off final and fa cup final test event
Kind of feel sorry for the people who have to decide which fans can go to such games.
I me we don't have the biggest of crowds I know but there will still be a lot of interest if let's say 10k can go the Play-off final and a bit like us if you get to the FA Cup final you'll all want to go!
You can see people getting cross and not sure our ticket office could deal with the aggro.
I wonder if the Government will be put off if we see scenes like the Rangers fans in Scotland down here?
Highly predictable.
The local police are probably just glad they didn't win it at Celtic Park.
We’ve got a semi final at Wembley first to worry about.very unfortunate timing that rangers haven’t won the league for 10 years - like Liverpool and leeds last season. So much pent up emotion. However scenes today are madness given the pandemic.
re cup final, i read that it could be up to 10k tickets per club - which is less of a problem for us rather than any other club left!!

Sorry I messed up. My tongue in cheek reply should have referred to Watford Mark who mentioned 2 Wembley appearances forgetting the semi final.plus a quarter final!
my comment followed on from the earlier point re two possible opportunities to play in front of fans this season. That isn’t the same as saying we will play in front of fans in 2 games!
25-50% capacities should make it a much better spectacle to watch on TV as well, let's hope the plans continue to progress.
Change some of the names and places and you have summed up Canada very nicely as well. And just wait ..... even if this virus is pretty much under control by the summer, the "medical experts" will be postulating the same fear-mongering next winter .... mask everyone up and keep them at home, and there will be no flu. More lives will be saved!! Everyone gets to live longer .... stuck in their homes.To say that the governments approach to this is cautious is putting it politely.But l do not understand how they can allow minimum attendances of home fans back in the autumn when the country was split into tiers and there was no vaccine and now no fans when the virus has virtually been eradicated.
There are test events l hear people saying as they read this post.4000 non fans for the Saints FA Cup semi final.What is that going to achieve?2000 Man City fans and 2000 Spurs for the Caribo cup final.Vague empty promises about the cup final and the playoffs.Woe betide as yet another mutant is found. At this point in time l can not see crowds of any significance at the Euro finals games being held here.It's too dangerous l hear the experts whisper sibilantly into Boris's ear.Keep them locked up for a bit longer! And the Championship playoff final is witnessed by one man and his dog that have stumbled through the non socially distanced security cordon around Wembley.
"Next season will be back to normal"
l sincerely hope it will be once the country has been fully vacinated. Not watching the Cherries play live for the last year has left a huge hole in my life.But unless the mindset of those in charge of the country changes l have huge misgivings that we will never have normal again.Power and control in the wrong hands are a powerful aphrodisiac.
SOMEBODY TELL ME I AM WRONG!
