Full Capacity Stadiums set to be allowed in England for new season

[Lord Buckethead]

With respect, thats bollox.

Well I'm taking the upper estimate of 150,000 which includes cases where people died of Covid after 28 days
Goodison's capacity is 39,572 so it's not that far out.

Well, let's hope it happens enough to be an issue.

Probably be in the clear until about October

By the time the season starts the infection rate is predicted to be 100,000 per day as a result of fully opening up.

Anyone wanting to step into a 40K capacity football ground are odd to say the least.

But surely the infection rate isnt the figure we should be looking at.. When will the top line be serious illness/hospitals getting overrun/deaths? Cos thats what the actual problem is... no?

100,000 infections per day is millions over a month. Do you want to take a chance on these vaccines holding the line when there's evidence already that increased infections lead to hospitlaisation and deaths with or without them? Not to mention the affect of long covid.

Football matches at full capacity in that environment - that cant possibly happen. If it does then you'll know that barbarism has been accepted in the UK, we no longer live in a rational world - and football stadium attendance or non-attendance becomes the least of our troubles.

No one is forcing anyone to go to the matches.

 

[WA Toffee]

It seems a reckless move to me I must say.
I think there will be a heavy price to pay.

Didn't Johnson say he was prepared for lots of people to die?
I might be getting confused with Shrek though

A lot of stadiums are full capacity here in the states and rates have plummeted. If your vaccination rate is high enough, it seems like it’s perfectly fine.

 

[witchdoc187]

cant help but think when flu season kicks in we will be back to square one. Although provided very few people get seriously ill we should surely just plough on. This is no life for anyone.

Yeah i get long covid argument, really do, and thats the one i personally, and selfishly want to stay clear of, but my point remains that the figures we should be led by cant be infection rates but actual society wide concerns such as hospitals failing to deal with (on top of the fact theyve been overrun at times for the past 5 years before covid) or worse still deaths from covid.
Imo at some stage we need to open the doors and face it, and if vaccinations are working in the main, then when is that time?

 

[Joey66]

Im proper buzzin.

Only thing that would make it even better is if @Sassy Colombian and her sister escorted me to and from the ground ploughing me with ale and cheap two for one cocktails ♡

Dream on....... lol

 

[gazzaa2]

I give it two weeks.

 

[danny147]

I’ve not been vaccinated and have no intention of doing so. Will be staying away till the numbers drop way below what they are now so that I can’t put anyone else at risk. Will also be using rapid tests when I do start going.

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

Something that worries me far more than Covid or road accident or being bummed by purple aki is this growing trend of some people feeling they have a say in how other people run their lives. It’s Orwellian.
