Latest on Lancashire live news Hyndburn probably going back on local lockdown so that will answer the Oxford game probably.

i take little notice of them andy reckon they are scaremongers. i do read them but then in the main i forget lol

Re: Unlock tentative steps
 

In most cases its not the clubs that arent ready. Its getting their plans signned off in time by theur local SAG or as in Hulls case because the council itself wouldnd give permission due to a rising rate nothing to do with the clubs readiness

Re: Unlock tentative steps
 

Wether that happens tomorrow or not that was an atrocious peice of scaremongering journalism by them today and i see that Blackburn council have demanded that they retract it.

Which says to me that Blackburn know that the rest of their area isnt going to be put back into local lockdown and following from that the rest of the area including Hyndburn that was released with it a couple of weeks ago wont be either.

So my take is that Stanley will be invited to apply to be one of the test games next week as was originally planned before Boris crapped himself last week.

I was told today that subject to there being no issues this weekend the clubs that conduct successfull tests this weekend will be allowed 3k crowds at their next home games on Oct 3rd as originally planned but the clubs who havnt conducted a successful test this weekend wont be allowed to until they conduct a 1k test.

Re: Unlock tentative steps
 

exactly. clubs can follow whatever requirement is needed today but that might not be proved adequate the day after. so many week to week changes no one knows what the situation will be like next month.

Re: Unlock tentative steps
 

30% of the pilot games not going ahead hopefully the rest will kick off.

Re: Unlock tentative steps
 

I wonder if Stanley have applied for the Oxford game to be a test event? bolton were not even allowed to apply due to their infection rates and Hyndburn third highest out of 317 yesterday.

If we don't find out until late on Wednesday and it is negative, then 1,000+ ifollow codes will still need dishing out, and if it is the same system as last time it could end up a farce.

Will what is being announced this morning it is unlikely that spectators will be allowed in 8 days time.

Must be a nightmare for admin staff not looking good at all at the minute for any kind of hospitality or sports events.

Re: Unlock tentative steps
 

EFL released a statement about fans at stadiums and it's as clear as mud with regards to local lockdowns as I see it a crowd doesn't break " the rule of six" to me if a pub or restaurant is following hygiene protocol and can have customers then sports venue,s should be fine, still no wiser if we can attend Oxford game though.

Re: Unlock tentative steps
 

Doubt if Stanley know yet andy?

Re: Unlock tentative steps
 

Exactly clear as mud.

Re: Unlock tentative steps
 

Fleetwood have confirmed they have applied for a test event on the 26th.

I would be interesting to know if Stanley have applied or not, or if LCC have advised them not to.

I think the chances of getting on the Oxford game are < 10% as it stands.

Time to send out the iFollow codes for next week...
