Live on the bbc and the stadium backed onto people’s houses so they climbed walls or whatever to watch and the cameras showed them.. that must be ok though because it’s football... Those folk were in their own gardens. I'm not sure that you can stop folk standing in their own property. "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!"

DOGFATHER Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 1 hour ago, tracitiger said: i think the penalty if found guilty should be forfeit the games, 2 points each game deducted, i would have said award to opponents but would it be unfair to other teams in the league, (could mean a team getting relegated), so the games still have to be played and implied costs met by featherstone. It should, but it would appear the investigation must be over and there is no case to answer in terms of other players. Otherwise, the rest of the Fev players would have to isolate too. AFAIK covid has a 10 day incubation period, (hence Ferres' isolation period) therefore, tests won't necessarily show any infections yet and possibly won't show a positive result for 10 days if someone had it. I cannot see Fev or the RFL risking the huge legal bill and possible jail term, for failing in their duty of care if any of the players caught it, and either fell seriously ill, or died from it. However, it does beg the question, why there hasn't been a statement from the RFl regarding the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardypaul Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 It amazes me that everyone on here wants to be judge, jury and executioner. The club are wrong to have allowed it to happen and now it’s up to the RFL, Police and Council to investigate the incident and decide what sanctions should be imposed.

The game not being played wouldn't be as problematical as some think. The league is going to be decided on a percentage points basis in any case (note the fact that Fev and Widnes will not be playing their games against Toulouse in France because of travel restrictions) so this effect might ultimately be fairer. As it is the RFL look like they are going to allow the game to proceed so they must have been satisfied that no breach took place, or they are simply taking a risk that nothing will come of it. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends whether you think you were going to win or lose. Your percentage will be higher if you win, lower if you lose. "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!"

John Drake Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Many posts removed. If you want to discuss the alleged breach of Covid restrictions at Featherstone, do it here. If you want to argue the toss over what Covid restrictions should or should not be, that is a political issue not a Rugby League issue, so do it in the politics sub forum. .
