rocky170267 Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 According to the latest news the government are likely to be lifting the ban on grassroots spectator sports from next week. Obviously with any supporters needing to be socially distancing. I was just wondering whether the county cup finals Would be likely to go ahead in the next few weeks? What are everyone’s feelings on this? Obviously being in a bar maybe a little bit difficult but I’m sure this could be overcome by using a serving hatch and a queueing system....

leedsunited Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Heard today Karen Brady saying pitches will need to be sanitised before & after use? Also without a Vaccine, would players, managers, supporters want to 'risk it' for this sort of standard of football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shots Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 Would players & officials want to risk their health when social distancing is impossible during the game, and in the changing rooms ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point exactly ... Especially with the standard of our local football. It's not like it's National standard like the rugby. Social distancing in the dressing rooms, toilets, substitute bench, officials changing areas, just isn't viable at our level.

Dave Deacon Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 The SWPL inform me that NO dates have been arranged, LOTS of work on ensuring players are safe to even travel to games let alone get changed and play. No chance any football will be played at grassroots before July, and that is being optimistic, it maybe much longer than that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet Man Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Personally, I cannot see football returning for quite some time. On a local level, think about this. How do defenders put up a wall against a free-kick? You can't have 2 metres between players. After a throw in do you really want to head the ball? Possible transfer of virus. How do you raise funds to pay expenses for players and officials if you cannot open clubhouse? It's all very well saying just get on with it, but do we really want to put lives at risk? We all miss the game we love, but is it worth dying for? Jeff Chambers, TheolderIgetthebetterIwas and claret&blue 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet Man Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Have to agree with you, Dave. There just seems to be so many insurmountable problems to overcome. Hopefully leagues here in the South West do not force clubs/players/officials into potentially dangerous circumstances. A duty of care has to be recognised everywhere.

Quiet Man Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 It's irrelevant how many walk in because the bars won't be open. How can they be if we want to safeguard people? As much as we love the beautiful game, I'm sure that we don't water to pass on this pestilence to our family and loved ones. If it means next season doesn't happen, so be it. I have a feeling that a remedy to Covid19 will be found but until then, let's safeguard everyone that we can.

Quiet Man Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Yes, because I believe that given the effort a solution of some sort will be found. However, AIDS was not as widespread as Covid19 due to the different way that it was passed on. The whole world is throwing it's resources into a solution to Covid19.
