[Football] Over 70s to be banned from premier league matches

[Stat Brother]

Just my fudging luck.

If only my parents got jiggy when Mo-Ma Stat was 9, Id now be able to bin off the game and do something enjoyable.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

You'll be alright, Harry.

I'll get you a fake ID card mate, saying you're 69.

It's a deal

 

[Guinness Boy]

On the other hand, this will be literally the only time pensioners lie about their age.

"I'm only sixty nine and a half you know"

 

[dejavuatbtn]

First it was the flasks, now it’s this.

Nothing like a ban for throwing old people out of the ground.

Bridge Street car park will heaven to drive out of.
No knights of the road giving way anymore.
Eh [MENTION=11350]LamieRobertson[/MENTION]

 

[Wardy's twin]

Over 70s are statistically more likely to snuff it from the virus but not any more likely to be infected with it.

surely over 70s are just more likely to die

Mock not - I still have my Knights of the Road certificate.

At least the toilet queues will be quicker.

How do you feel about not being able to go?

 

[AmexRuislip]

Absolutely gutted TBH

 

[LamieRobertson]

ESU .will be half empty ..I’ll be able to stretch out over a good number of seats ..always a silver lining..mind you they might take ovaltine off the drinks list ...sigh

 

[Petunia]

At least the toilet queues will be quicker.

But there may not be any toilet paper in them!

 

[LamieRobertson]

Sod that!
I’ll want a refund and I’ve also bought a ticket for my 15 yr old grandson for the Man Utd game.

Hmm might be a tad difficult trying to get in disguised as your 15 year old grandson

 

[Weststander]

Barber & Chief Constable Darren Balkham - under-estimate the violent backlash from that demographic at their peril.

 

[darkwolf666]

I actually thought this would be a Daily Mash or Private Eye link, The fact it's real is ****ing mental.

It’s not real though is it?

It’s Sky News stirring the pot for their own agenda, the article even mentions the possibility of more live games on TV (Sky), sure as eggs is eggs they won’t be doing that for free...

 

[studio150]

On a serious note, if the Government ban those over 70 from Football grounds, I assume they will be also be banned from public transport, indoor arenas, pubs.... in fact would they be effectively under home arrest and not permitted to step out into the dangerous world in case they caught the virus.

Madness, we will see but hopefully this wouldn't go beyond an advisory request, and those over 70 can decide for themselves.

 

[dazzer6666]

Brilliant idea. Kiosk queues in WSL will be tiny.

£8.40

What ?

£8.40

*rummages in all 64 pockets trying to find wallet*

*counts out exact cash*

Card only at this till Sir

What ?

Card only here Sir

Eh ?

I can’t take cash

Why not ?

......etc.

 

[Giraffe]

I’ve heard some nonsense about this bloody virus but this tops the lot.

How dare they try and ban oldies from enjoying their life. They are very capable of deciding for themselves what they can and cannot do. Bloody nanny state. Crazy.

Palace without Roy?

A shame this didn't happen last Saturday!

I can think of one in particular who was part of the Falmer for All committee and worked tirelessly to get the stadium.

Also think, besides Roy Hodgson, Sir Alex Ferguson, Sir Bobby Charlton etc would all be banned.

True. I’d Medco to lose three stone and grow to over 6 foot tall.
