Man of Kent 7,884 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 (edited) Barrow, West Wales and Keighley are the only L1 clubs competing in the Cup. Says the others withdrew but I wonder if they were asked to withdraw or it was a names in a hat job. Seems a bit random. Edited January 22 by Man of Kent Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whippet13 1,371 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Confirmation of live stream and pay per view as well: Clubs have already agreed that games played behind closed doors will be streamed live on the RFL’s Our League platforms (app & website) on a pay per view basis, allowing supporters to watch fixtures even if they cannot attend in person – with home season ticket holders given free access to the live stream packages for their club’s league games. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Watch at home for now - which is hopefully better than nothing and does at least allow for some rugby to be played. I'm moderately tempted to get a Broncos season ticket now. Only moderately.

Hela Wigmen 2,811 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Hopefully we can get the two leagues started and up and running again and at some point, when it’s safe to, getting some fans in to watch live. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’d go tomorrow. Nobody’s telling me going to a socially distanced rugby match is less safe than Tesco’s or many of the other indoor places I could go legally (like working in a factory or warehouse).

I'm no different to thousands of others who are feeling it a bit and are of the mouldy side of being cheesed off. And of course you are correct... mok's point is a legitimate one but the gov have laid down their laws. I just look forward to living long enough to see another game, have a pint and talk utter sheeite with my family and friends at post office Road.... other stadia are available.

There ain't much singing and shouting in Tesco,or places of employment. It seems droplets and aerosols are a worry. Singing and shouting COVID-19 spreads from person to person through small droplets, aerosols and through direct contact. Singing, shouting and physical activity increases the risk of transmission through small droplets and aerosols. If singing is expected to take place, spectators should be reminded of the risks. The cumulative effect of aerosol transmission means the more people involved, the higher the risk of transmission. Based on public health advice for indoor performances,even where face coverings are mandated, crowds at indoor events should not participate in any activity that can create aerosols, including singing, shouting and chanting. Event organisers should make spectators aware of these risks.

What about surface transmission? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ShropshireBull 348 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Trying to be positive. UK R number now 0.8-1 and you are getting massively more vaccines done than here in Spain. By March and certainly May, most at risk will be done. People will be hungry for live events and RL will get much needed valuable data for the app in the meantime.

I feel the worry is that whilst the UK is likely to be the first of the large nations to be "fully" vaccinated, that is still a way off. I don't see the All over Europe Euros happening in the way they hoped - perhaps we'll be in a situation where the UK might actually be the only nation in Europe that is in a position to host with mostly domestic and reasonably large crowds. That is being very optimistic though, though I agree with your general point that the UK seems to have the vaccine process well ahead of the rest of the continent.

I know but nobody's telling me watching socially-distanced 80-minute rugby matches (once a fortnight or thereabouts) is less safe than eight-hour shifts (five days a week) in factories. There is greater economic imperative for people to work in factories than go to the rugby and that’s why government has prioritised the former over the latter. I believe we should have factories and rugby grounds open, for what it’s worth, and I can see no logical reasons (if not political reasons) why the Championship shouldn't have limited crowds when it kicks off at Easter.
