No, but I also don't think Hela said that, I think you missed the point. There is no fan-ranking that needs to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo5 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I always thought supporting a club was usually a personal choice,choosing to support one that isn’t successful doesn’t make you better supporters,claiming to be so is just plain ridiculous.

There is no fan-ranking that needs to be done. For me its the way it is phrased as if to say "you dont go week in week out so your opinion doesnt matter" or in this case "you wont be going to the final... " Some people have other things that they have to do that stop them (family, work, commitments at community clubs, living too far etc), it doesnt make them any less of a fan and may contribute to the game in other ways. It also doesnt make their opinion or interpretation of the facts any less correct. Especially in this case and during the pandemic when a certain amount of emotion needs to be taken out of the equation, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RP London Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 1 hour ago, Harry Stottle said: In your eyes be it Hela, funny how attendances raise and lower based on any particular teams 'onfield results' unlike any other theory we as individuals have attendances ARE effected by how well or otherwise a team is doing it not there are hundreds of examples of you care to look. While what you say is correct, crowds do tend to rise and fall dependent on the teams performance, that doesnt cover the point. What was being said by Anita and by others (i have seen you use it) is that because you go to the game your opinion/interpretation is worth more than those that do not.. depending on the subject (ie what happens on match day, performance of the team [especially if not televised]) that may be correct, on other things, like this, it is tosh.

Cheshire Setter Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Back on topic... Seems Rishi expects things to tier down very slowly, and is expected to extend the Job support til the end of the year. Possibly an later start and shorter season, without crowds until the second half of the year? Hopefully a fully vaccinated society by autumn means a World Cup, providing the borders reopen in the summer. https://apple.news/ApA7h5ll6RaGNnSqHeJxmHg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that’s true. I guess that will depend on whether the vaccine works on reducing transmission as well as preventing infection. The other problem, which now seems almost a certainty, is the borders issue. Even if the UK reopens, Australia is talking about the end of the year before they get rid of the hotel quarantine. Will any of the Aus / NZ players travel if they know they have to quarantine on their return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see it going ahead in 2021. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

Blind side johnny Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Garry Schofield seems to have it all sorted out in his column in LE which everyone reads I assume. Reschedule SL and scrap the Championship and C1 until 2022: no problem. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

Vaccine or no vaccine, the EU is in the process of banning international tourists until they have completed their own vaccination programs after the summer season. So the cruises will likely be to nowhere and just for the experience. 2 hours ago, Blind side johnny said: I can't see it going ahead in 2021. Having been excited to see the pace of the rollout here in the UK, I was hopeful. However, the politicians here and abroad are clearly hinting nothings going to change much until after the summer in terms of crowds and travel. I have to agree with to you. It’s looking like next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommygilf Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Glastonbury cancelled (my heart bleeds), but the wider picture it's cancellation paints isn't particularly positive. It was due to be around the last week in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
