Bat flu latest?

So, with rules about gatherings changing, am I right in assuming we can no longer attend matches? Or does it mean people can only be in the proximity of 5 other people within the ground. I so hope this isn't the start of another lockdown, but with some people's selfish behaviour of late I wouldn't be surprised. Gutted.

Although not evident from the games so far, my underdtanding is that the current guidance is that spectators in steps 3-7 have to remain in groups of 6 anyway, so reducing the 'social gatherings' from 30 to 6 should not have too much of an impact on the current playing of matches with fans. I could be wrong but no doubt we will find out later. Would probably have had an impact on any Wembley trip though

You only have to go into Tesco to see how many ignorant idiots are about. The spike in cases isn't surprising. People are clearly acting like there is no global pandemic.

Generally I do listen to the news headlines. But wait for appropriate details from relevant authorities to the disseminated. Meanwhile in Scotland I understand this weekend they will allow fans in to sporting events.

Interesting. I didn't realise that. Cheers.

Everywhere Josh, everywhere. If only people would take on board that if care is taken, we will emerge from this mess quicker.

Apparently confirmed by DCMS that Step 3 and below can continue to have spectators at the current levels

Crowds at the FA Trophy final could be in doubt though:
