[Football] A football rumour that a friend told me

[TomandJerry]

Reckons when fans are allowed back into football stadiums, only home fans will be allowed for a duration to stop away fans from traveling.

Thoughts?

That sounds logical in the current circumstances.

Good to see that the spirit of BG lives on

 

[Weststander]

I thought this was seen as likely once stadia open?

It makes complete sense, preventing many thousands criss-crossing the UK on non-essential travel, often by public transport.

 

[Swansman]

Probably quite likely, guessing it will be one of the suggestions when we get close to having crowds at football games again, something I hope will happen within the next five years.

 

[Mellotron]

Potentially makes sense if cross country travel is still being discouraged at the time.

A mate of mine, who works at some obscure place over in Stockley Park, says that his firm are already looking for offsides in the PL, wll into the 2022/2023 season

I would be disappointed but I would expect loyalty points to be frozen!!!

 

[Eeyore]

My understanding is that offsides will be encouraged to allow for social distancing.

Christ, don't tell Big Sam that!

Would fit right into his play style...

1. Has your friend been drinking Trump juice?

2. The Amex was built on the understanding that the vast majority of fans ( 80%+) would use public transport to get there.

3. What of the “home” fans who don’t live within jogging distance of our great emporium.

4. That would completely f*** up Man.Utd as most of their home fans live 200 miles away.

Given that under the incoming changes to Stay At Home from tomorrow I can jump in my car and drive to Carlisle if I want to, I don't see away fans being banned.

Oh dear, Old Trafford will be half empty then if fans can’t travel (I know this old chestnut has been largely disproved, but hey, without the stereotype there’s no gag).

Oops, beaten to it, see #12

Sounds a reasonable probability with regional differences in risk.

Yep, I’ve heard from a very reliable source that linos won’t raise there flag unless a player is more than 2 metres offside.




No change there then!

 

[Yes Chef]

It sounds plausible, and I think perhaps people may not have the same level of disposable income for a while, to justify £150+ on a day out

 

[LamieRobertson]

Lol...we havnt got past a game in a stadium that is empty let alone fans in it....tbh thats not in my head right now

Sounds like a possible idea that has been discussed as a staged approach back to normality. But we are months and months away from normality.

You've firstly got to work out how to get the home fans into a stadium safely. Can't see those packed shuttle trains (or buses) being allowed any time soon even after the country has opened up a bit.

 

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

Can't see it myself.if things are still bad enough that they dont want away fans travelling to the match then I can't see them wanting home fans travelling either.
