Would people be prepared to pay to see next season that way? I guess they would have the take up figures from midweek games the last two seasons. I believe about £8 goes to the club. Would people pay £15 to increase the club's income, or not bother at all because the money would go to AL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it like this if they made it about £10 a go online then I would probably watch as many games as I have done this season probably more. It wouldn't go to AL it would go to paying the staff salaries their would be very little leftover for him. 2 hours ago, Dave_Og said: I have read nothing good about iFollow.

It could be this or nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands on Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 What a mess! The lock down appears to have been the creation of healthcare where every life must be saved without regard to the cost or indirect consequences. An NHS that has given up the day job, mass unemployment, ruined economy, impact on mental health, children removed from education and all those people who will lose their lives as a consequence from suicide to the failure of GPs to identify who needs help now. Even worse the message has created a population with an irrational fear of SARS-CoV-2. Undoubtedly there is risk but the people who should take action to avoid getting Covid-19 are the old and those with a pre existing condition. If you are a child or young or middle aged and you are fit and healthy the sacrifices you are being asked to make are out of all proportion to the risk. This penny will drop eventually. I agree that football must have an audience. There is no point playing league 2 matches behind closed doors. The problem is when will common sense prevail and everyone realise that we have to live with the Wuhan virus rather than trying to make it go away. It is here to stay and coronaviruses are tricksy.

Ah yes, the "I'm alright Jack!" argument. The approach seems to have been to have a steady drip of infection so as not to overload the NHS and build up immunity, which is OK but long-winded, and may delay the pandemic long enough for a vaccine to emerge. I'm not sure what's the best approach but our Government seem to have been on the back foot from day one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those of Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds... oh and those that are deemed to be obese. So as long as the healthy among us do not come into contact with anyone in the ‘at risk’ categories we’ll be okay. New government message: “Lose weight, avoid the old and fat, we’ll be ‘reet”. it’s got a certain ring to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a load of bollocks. The testament to the brain washingby certain media that 60,000 deaths can just be ignored and dismissed is shockng.

The testament to the brain washingby certain media that 60,000 deaths can just be ignored and dismissed is shockng. Money, the price of everything and value of nothing in stark view again, Its more nuanced though surely? The OP makes a valid point that we can't become a one issue society and shut down the global economy for years. Roughly 150,000 people die every day across the world from a variety of causes, many of them preventable sadly Less economic activity will undoubtedly lead to higher death rates across many categories in the coming years if we become too myopic To some extent, the OP is also right: focus on those at most risk and give them proper support and protection whilst most of us carry on as normal.... surely this is the underlying logic of the NHS, our tax system and our social welfare and other safety nets? The data appears to have been consistent across the globe from the start that this virus is only a serious risk to certain groups and I wonder if we had put all of our efforts in to protecting them rather than spreading ourselves too thinly and trying to "save everyone" then perhaps our death rates could have been lower and the economic and social problems we have inadvertently caused much less. Luckily, I am not in charge and we have experts like BoJo and Priti Patel so everything should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Of course you might believe I'm one of the fit and healthy young or middle aged. I'm not but my children and my children's children are. My views are based on reviewing the information I can find on coronaviruses, it is out there, and the impact lockdown has had and is having. Put simply if the children, young and middle aged had been allowed to get on with life our NHS would undoubtedly have coped (look at the numbers). Our society would not be under threat and our economy heading for a depression with millions needlessly unemployed. Open your eyes! Who do you think is going to suffer most in the years to come - the children, the young and the middle aged. Why should they sacrifice their future for those who in the main only have a past.

I said very early on that they were world renowned and new what they were doing. That belief took a knock for me when one of them said in the daily briefing, that someone attending a football match with the virus, only infected people sat around them. I presume this person simply floated in and out of their seat and never went to the toilet or bar. There record so far compared to other countries isn't great. They should have taken far more notice of countries used to handling these outbreaks like Germany and others did. There was plenty of warning of what might happen from Italy. No doubt there will be another upturn in the infections and deaths, after the demonstrations this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
