foxinsocks Posted 23 April 2020 Posted 23 April 2020 Papers are starting to speculate about life in offices, shops and factories trying to maintain 2m of social distancing.... for a year or more.... how will we ever be able to go to a game? This season will either be finished or abandoned... either way I was looking forward to our European tour? How will that work?
Bayfox Posted 23 April 2020 Posted 23 April 2020 I honestly don't think it's worth worrying about. For the record I still think this season gets finished behind closed doors, as for Europe forget it, even if it happens, you wont be allowed to travel away in my eyes.* But honestly I will wait as long as it takes until we are told it's our choice to attend. And when we can, it's gonna be amazing. Close to Everton levels of anticipation i reckon. But I wouldn't lose to much sleep over it. *but i will forever be pissed at the bat eating or lab testing willy pullers that have ruined CL football for my boy.

I thought the season would get finished behind closed doors too... but recent mutterings plus the difficulty in keeping a squad covid free may scupper that. I wouldnt be surprised now if it was a year before crowds attend a game!

jonthefox Posted 24 April 2020 Posted 24 April 2020 You just know we're going to win the FA cup this year and no one will be able to go.
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 24 April 2020 Posted 24 April 2020 I remain in hope that our champions league campaign won’t be destroyed if we do get there. There are some countries (such as the Netherlands) just re-starting their season in September and I assume that is because they think by then there will be some form of normality. It’s not like all flights have been cancelled during this period (there are still planes in the sky albeit less than usual) and I doubt there will be any restriction saying you can’t fly somewhere unless a country has closed its borders. The issue is whether an airline can operate. In a complete lockdown they obviously can’t but if you’re saying no travel til the end of this year then wave goodbye to your entire travel industry. I think there are also questions around how well the virus spreads outdoors vs indoors which may have some impact. In summary, I think people are too quick to take the current scenario and apply it to the rest of the year immediately just because they here phrases like “some social distancing measures will remain”. The objective here is not to completely stop the spread - that’s impossible - it’s to make sure that the spread happens at a pace you can cope with from a health service perspective. And let’s also remember that some countries have managed this better and will have games in front of fans quicker than we might do here. My guess would be that we’ll see fans back in stadiums (perhaps with restrictions like the wearing of masks) by September. But that’s just a guess of course.
String fellow Posted 24 April 2020 Posted 24 April 2020 As this evil virus doesn't look like it's going away any time soon, maybe all the leagues in the UK and Europe should take a gap year, and resume their matches exactly 365 days later than originally planned.
Paninistickers Posted 24 April 2020 Posted 24 April 2020 Dunno about the KP but i reckon there'll be significantly less old biddies following us away from home
49er Posted 24 April 2020 Posted 24 April 2020 Vardy will be isolated - no player within two metres, so our players will be used to playing this way
Guest TamworthFoxes Posted 24 April 2020 Posted 24 April 2020 I’ll be leaving about 82nd minute to beat the traffic.
Filbert_Ross Posted 24 April 2020 Posted 24 April 2020 Clapping on the Covid-19th minute for the victims.
49er Posted 25 April 2020 Posted 25 April 2020 The number of fans present will be determined by the social distancing rules of a 2m separation. According to my calculations, based on a width of 30cm for each seat, only 4,800 will be watching . Martin Tyler will still refer to a packed KP

fox_up_north Posted 27 April 2020 Posted 27 April 2020 I've had an email telling me a gig I booked tickets for in July has rescheduled to 2021. Absolutely no chance you'll get a packed stadium for another two years, in my eyes.

Ricey Posted 27 April 2020 Posted 27 April 2020 The reality is that it's too early to say. The UK experts seem to often refer to the virus not being a huge issue in the open air, so if you can work on restrictions for all the other things that go along with a match such as travelling, getting into the stadium, concourses etc then it might not be deemed high risk. I think with football it will be perception more than anything. The likelihood is that public transport, shops and work places are going to the main places where the virus spreads, but if you are asking the public to obey to any sort of distancing or restrictions then it looks bad when you have a football stadium packed with people...even if the science suggests it's low risk.
foxinsocks Posted 27 April 2020 Author Posted 27 April 2020 There was a mention in the papers that the gov recognised the moral boosting impact of sport... I just can't see attending a match fitting with any social distancing rules. I am sure many of us would be prepared to attend... but I cant see it being allowed to happen.... why not a pub or night club or theatre?
mad biker Posted 27 April 2020 Posted 27 April 2020 Instead of clappers on our seats how about face masks ? surgical quality of course, AND, ones that make us all look like Foxes !!!

bluebeau Posted 28 April 2020 Posted 28 April 2020 There are several countries going flat out to produce a vaccine to give immunity to the virus. When this is discovered & there is enough to treat everyone, this could well be the point when sport & entertainment could get back to normal??? Personally whilst there is still a chance of being infected by the virus, I will not be in a stadium with 32,000 supporters!
