Its going to be mandatory to wear masks on public transport from the middle of June - Theres talk of season 2020/21 commencing later this year - For this to happen will it will also be a requirement for the wearing of masks at live football matches - If so one positive will be with masks and large glasses old Toteenders will look a lot younger - On the flipside we would struggle to find anybody we know - odd times indeed!

How will we eat our Pasties? I thought we stopped selling hot food many months ago, drinks only the sign says at every game? |

The only way you'll see Rovers next season is by being a season ticket holder.

I think it's been suggested that in order to reduce infection rates/recognise social distancing rules and facilitate contact tracing it is likely that attendance at sporting events will initially only return in a very limited way. In which case the natural solution would be to restrict capacities, enforce social distancing and only allow season ticket holders in. Personally, I think it's pie in the sky because I don't see how even that could be done in a way that would be consistent with any form of social distancing. Not to mention that some clubs would obviously have far more season ticket holders than others etc. But there does seem to be some evidence that sports authorities are thinking along these lines. For example, it has been suggested that County Championship cricket could return in August with Members being allowed to attend the games. Seems like a unique case to me with all kinds of issues in itself but if it goes ahead then I'm sure others will be thinking about how to do this. |

How the heck do you enforce social distancing on terraces? Do we all have to stand in one spot and not move...? Do we all have to fill the terrace from one end only so that we don’t close in on other people trying to get to our “spot”along the terrace? So many ifs, buts and maybes its just not feasible in my view. Either we are all vaccinated against it ( in which case wait another season or two) or we all pile in and hope for the best (hmm!). Not sure what could work between those two scenarios tbh. But I’m willing to listen to suggestions.... |

But, like I say, they are definitely considering this for cricket. I suppose the idea is that County Championship crowds are small anyway while the grounds are quite large which could facilitate social distancing. Of course, most county members are pensioners and so will be self-isolating anyway so I'm not sure it's really been thought through. I do know for certain that it is being discussed though because unlike top level football professional domestic cricket is simply not viable without some form of paid audience. |

Also most likely asleep as well by lunchtime.....certainly afterwards...🍺 |

Thanks for the replies. Stadia (and grounds like we have) are built to get as many paying punters in as possible, to fund professional sport; and as closely as possible, to maximise view, noise, and atmosphere.
Social distancing is the exact opposite of stadium (or ground) sport or entertainment. Non-starter is right. Utterly pointless.
I don't think sport should resume until we can safely pack out grounds and stadia, as close as we like, without fear of deadly disease.

Yeh, but we still will have the deadly fart 💨 to deal with though. 🥵 |

Zip it Shrimpy! This might be the answer as to how we get round food and drink issues - You may have to be careful as to your choice of pub before the game tho, images.app.goo.gl/xdhxLnktKr65mR3AA |

We could pack the mem for a home game but pretend its a protest against racism in the USA.
Then nobody from any political party or media group will complain or in any way be critical.
Lets do it.
