Re: A glimmer of hope ?
 

Tier levels announced Thursday the North West has the lowest R rate in the country at the moment wether that relates to a lower tier no idea but a lot to be positive about fans will return especially in bigger numbers when the magic jab is rolled out.

Re: A glimmer of hope ?
 

aye but if they include Manchester and districts dont hold yer breath.

Re: A glimmer of hope ?
 

I think personally that there will unfortunately be a lot of tier 3,s but there is light at the end of the tunnel if we aren't in tier 1 or 2 Thursday the return is coming sooner rather than later.

think yeh phrased that wrong mate?

Re: A glimmer of hope ?
 

I think that it is highly likely that we in Accrington will still be subject to Tier Three restrictions from Thursday onwards. Which means ZERO supporters in the Wham Stadium! :end:
However, will we be able to travel to away matches and watch Stanley play against teams based in Tier One and Tier Two areas?:stupid:

Re: A glimmer of hope ?
 

Away fans not a chance.

Re: A glimmer of hope ?
 

I,m afraid choirboy you are probably right about tier 3, but these tiers will be reviewed every 2 weeks and if we continue in the same downward path hopefully we will go into 2 pretty quickly because tier 3 this time is harsher than before lockdown.

Re: A glimmer of hope ?
 

Doubt if we will be able to go away reckon we will have to remain in area?

Re: A glimmer of hope ?
 

Andy Holt piece in the Times today about the gradual return of fans and the financial impact unfortunately he thinks Stanley will be in a tier 3 area at first but says it's a step in the right direction, he is probably right but if the rate continues to fall maybe in 14 days after we will be moved into 2 so middle of December could be the date.

a couple of weeks down into tier 2 but back into tier 3 in january. january into march is the worst period of the year anyway for respiratory illness so i honestly cannot see much action happening certainly in the north west and yorkshire.

Re: A glimmer of hope ?
 

Just been on the BBC news website one minister quoting that probably half or more of England will go into tier 3 if that's going to be the case won't be many clubs with fans inside.

Re: A glimmer of hope ?
 

its probably a knocking bet with the thickos that reside in Hyndburn.

Re: A glimmer of hope ?
 

Reading the figures that have been published up to date, Stanley will get zero fans in tier 3, 2,000 fans in tier 2 and 2,500 in tier 1 i.e. up to 50% of ground capacity in tier 1 (to a maximum of 4,000) and up to 50% of ground capacity or 2,000 whichever is the lesser in tier 2. Can't see away fans being allowed unless possibly from the same region.

Re: A glimmer of hope ?
 

No away fans in any tier.
