Premiership have tested 748 players and club staff for Covid-19
6 results came back positive from 3 clubs, who are now self isolating.

Re: Coronovirus
 

The big fear for me with this behind closed doors to suit TV deals is that football is going to be controlled even more by TV, they wanted var footy fans did,nt next they will be creating fan noise, in play manager interviews the fan will become a thing of the past if we aren't careful already premiership most of them can make a do without gate income, lower leagues if not careful could be cast even further adrift.

Re: Coronovirus
 

It isn’t just to suit TV deals.
I’d look at that stat as helping society. You’d be hard pressed to say those tested positive weren’t aware they were carrying the virus.
Not sure why you think TV wanted VAR??

Club might have something upcoming in next few weeks. Be interested to see how many people will support it and help our great club who have 0 income currently.

Many of the supporters around where I stand in the stadium are really frustrated with the noise over ‘The System’ during the build up to the match. My view is that during the last thirty minutes build up before a match that the music should of course be there but at a level which allows conversation. Then at five minutes before kick off, use ‘ The System’ much more loudly with dramatic music when the players actually come out of the changing rooms and run onto the pitch! Use some common sense please!:idunno:

Re: Coronovirus
 

Can’t please everyone I’m afraid so have to go with the majority.
It’s actually turned down a bit when the players come out so the Clayton End volume is heard.
Quieter behind Clayton End or in Redz Bar before game.

Re: Coronovirus
 

Would you please if you don't mind have the majority counting from I may have missed something, no majority on these pages and certainly not around where I sit at games with most including youngsters with fingers pointing at speakers shaking their heads.

Re: Coronavirus - stay on topic!!! :D
 

Whilst I agree with you completely my good friend, I am afraid that this - along with the next few posts - is straying off topic!!!

Please, either remain on topic, or start a new one:- speaker volume, survey required!!

:D :D

:) :) :)

Re: Coronovirus
 

Majority from personal experience of controlling it and more people liking it than not.
Appreciate where you are coming from RE; having a conversation, like I’ve said it is quieter either behind the Clayton end if you stand on terrace or in the reds bar before a game.
It may seem louder when the ground isn’t as full depending on what time you take up your position.

Re: Coronovirus
 

League 1 meeting tomorrow anyone holding their breath as to whether we'll get a decision will the big "6" clubs " bully" the rest into completing the season and bankrupting themselves in the process or will democracy rule the day and common sense prevail and we can move on do the retained lists and sort of plan for next season.

I understand Mr Holt not bothering ?

Apparently the CEO does the zoom meeting.

Re: Coronovirus
 

Oh he,ll be bothered he will have briefed his CEO.

Re: Coronovirus
 

We haven’t had a TV for 30 years but even I can understand why broadcasters would welcome VAR. In their eyes they see it as adding unpredictable ‘drama‘ that can help hold their audience just long enough to the next ad break. Same rationale as to why in Korea they added canned crowd noise to a televised ‘ghost game’.

Re: Coronovirus
 

An ad break during a live football game..... no.
A lot of the problem is people don’t move with the times.

Televised fan noise is what the people watching must want.
When Amazon showed the Prem fixtures over Christmas - people loved having the feature to be able to turn off the commentators.
Why didn’t they just mute the TV??
Because they still wanted the fan noise...
