Completely hypothetical question re CCFC v Leeds...

If it was given the go ahead to take place next Sunday, how many of you would go and what sort of crowd do you think there'd be?
P.S - The match wouldn't be televised, anywhere.

Ok.. I'll start and say that I wouldn't go and I reckon the crowd would be between 8 - 10,000

I would go... 75% of UK deaths yesterday were from causes other than covid.. and at no point has it accounted for 50% of deaths in any given day.. so although there is extra risk I figure there is still much more chance of me dying of something else … so while alive I want to live.. think the crowd would be decent too , once people see others prepared to go it will make them more confident in themselves..

I see your points and I’ve only put the thread up as I asked two of my mates the same question yesterday and they both said yes. I’m saying no but I’m not 100% sure tbh.

more people have died of heart disease/attacks during the last 2 months than covid . and ive never left the house thinking is today the day I get mine.. and lets be honest there are literally millions of obese totally unfit smokers who don't think today is the day they get theirs either but are now wearing gloves, masks and hiding under the stairs but still eat shit , smoke and lounge infront of the tv
maybe they should start a heart disease league table ?

I've got quite comfortable staying at home now so it would be a struggle for me to go.

I can see myself making effort in a few games time though but for now my answer is no.

no

and around 4k

Good question.
I'm not risk averse by any means but for me it depends how it's done.
If 10,000 are shoe horned in to stands with 10,000 capacity I'd chose not to go.
If the whole ground was open and half of season ticket holders allowed in to watch Leeds and the other half the next match, I'd take my place in game I was allowed to attend. I wouldn't want 2m to my self but I'd be reluctant if there were no distancing or restrictions set in place whatsoever.
I appreciate how complicated it would be as members of same household could sit together and I'd much rather go with my son who usually sits next to me.

Good thinking there. Limiting crowds to 10k in a 30k stadium would allow for social distancing. Stewarding would be such that you would be told where to sit with at least 2 seats part from the next supporter. Also this would allow for families to be sat next to each other therefore reducing the risk. Proper stewarding with the supporters consent and this could quite easily work.

I reckon I’d do the same.

Given the 2 meter rule it would mean you would need to lose roughly 10 seats around each person

That would mean only about 3000 could safely social distance inside our stadium . In theory.

Upon entry you would have to go straight to the seat after going through temperature check cameras

It would be a row of people with 3 seats separating them and then 2 rows behind and in front not used

It would also mean food and drink to be from sellers in the stands only with the concourse closed to allow a queuing system for the toilets

Not sure I would enjoy that very much and would probably prefer to be at home

If they opened the gate to supporters (theoretically) then yes, I would go...

Appropriate risk assessments will have been carried out and that would be my deciding factor

Can't stay cocooned forever and at some point people have to get off the risk averse bandwagon that envelops so much in life these days even without this wretched pandemic that actually adversely affects less people than many other (currently ignored) ailments

Controversial statement to some?

Maybe so, but then again I haven't been brain-washed by Sky News and 'The Beeb' into thinking we're all doomed and Covid-19 is the only socio-medical 'issue' out there right now

Really good points Chris. Totally agree.

my answer was yes.. but under the conditions you've just put up it would be no...
yes to going to football no to pretending this is the plague anymore...

The more I’m reading / hearing, the more I agree with you

I would go but drakford won' t allow me to travel from mid wales.

if they allow crowds they will allow you to travel.. maybe there will be a no stopping to piss in reservoirs proviso .
