Bits & Bobs
- Thread starter mab
- Start date
Mr T may need to clarify this, but I think it's as follows;
Home Games - ASFC get approx 70% of the income (e.g £7 in every £10 spent)
Away Games - The home team (e.g Lincoln) get the money for the first 500 sign ups (I think this is the full £10 too as opposed to 70%). Anything over 500 goes to the Away team.
Cup games are slightly different than the example above for league games.
Well FL have plans for 30k crowds at Wembley for the playoffs
It's pretty well established from studies around the world that transmission in outdoor situations is almost negligible.
The issue with football grounds are the concourses but at Wembley, they're on 3 levels and stretches right around 80% of the ground so I wouldn't think with 30k in that shouldn't be an issue.
According to the MD from Chester Racecourse, it's more about creating small sections that cant mingle with each other to facilitate tracing if the worst were to happen and an outbreak occur.
And by the time these games come around well over 50% of the country will have been 3 weeks post-vaccination.
Pubs have been given a tentative opening date of the Early May bank holiday so no reason whatsoever you couldn't have 30k crowds at Wembly the best part of a month later.

All ifs and buts hope it happens but don't think reading between the lines there will be any large gatherings allowed until the population is vaccinated or been offered one if achieving on time this is August/ September so play offs are a bit optimistic. Pubs have been given dates but their collective heads don't really want the same restrictions as last time has they don't make money.
Thanks, Josh.
To clarify, am I right in thinking that, unless 501 fans sign on via the Stanley web site for an away game, Stanley get nowt.
Same as if it was a ‘normal’ away game!
But, for the bigger clubs with 500+ viewers, this ‘virtual’ arrangement is financially better than ‘normal’ times. Mmm...?
But you don't need to have everyone vaccinated to get to a point where all you will get are very small clusters and the R rate would be very low digits.
And by the end of April, the most vulnerable 50% of the population will have had their first jab then add into that those who have natural immunity from already having had covid and you're getting pretty close to the point at which transmission stops.
The pub industry has already told Boris what they will accept and what they won't [ his outside only plan didn't last very long] What i.m told is the only restrictions will be the same as supermarkets ie distancing and masks but as you cant drink in a mask that won't work. There are enough studies now to show that pubs are no greater risk than anywhere else.
But the overriding issue is very shortly we.ll have a budget which without a doubt will be very bad news Boris isn't stupid add any more of his lockdown crap on top of that and he will be toast. There are now over 75 tory MP.s who are willing to cause him serious **** if he doesn't do as he.s told and return us to normality within a matter of weeks.
Did anyone see our friend Darren Drysdale Square up to Alan Judge of Ipswich during their game last night? I didn't see the full incident, only a still photograph & maybe the player needed a talking to but if a player had squared up to another he would have received at least a booking so I'm wondering if the ref will be disciplined in any way - probably not
People seem to be blowing this up a bit: https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/teams/ipswich-town/12220338/ref
whilst i personally agree with you there are many in the country who do not want any normality to return just yet. the fear of it all going wrong again dispite the jabs as it did last year is at the forefront of their minds. waiting a few months more in the hope of restrictions being a thing of the past is what her in the kitchen keeps constantly banging on about.
That’s maybe because it looked at least a good shout for a penalty from the one angle shown and lots of fans of lots of clubs are aware that Drysdale is a prima donna and, consequently, a pretty crap ref.
I just wonder, if the authorities do nothing, just how worse his behaviour and decisions will get?
Normallity within a matter of weeks ! what planet are yeh on northern soul yeh got more chance of being struck by lightening.
With the target of every adult in the UK to have been or offered a vaccine by August/September and then data on effects to be collected anyone thinking full lifting of restrictions before then are on the same planet as some on here who predicted full crowds back at games last September, that I,m afraid is still quite a way off.
There's good news about Steve Cotterill, the manager of Shrewsbury, who we play on Saturday. He's back home in Bristol after 33 days in hospital with COVID: https://www.shrewsburytown.com/news/2021/february/steve-cotterill-returns-home/
He'll be working remotely for a while, so his return may not have too much influence on this weekend's match.

whats he charged with?
Excessive testosterone?
having a bald head and a beard.
My view was Judge was lucky not to get sent off for aggressive behaviour and dissent......
