    Maybe a lot of SAFC fans had bought tickets for the home end and this had just come to their attention otherwise they have spoilt it for their home fans as well.
    They play Darlington on Tuesday, so wonder if they are happy for their fans to travel!!

    Me and youngest son will watch it at home. Oldest son and grandson had dropped out of a visit to see wife's relations to go, so will do that now. Middle son will now take other grandson to a football u9 tournament they had thought they would have to miss.

    No offence but we've suffered, for decades, with tinpot clubs acting themselves ...

    ... ask anyone who went to Aldershot or Chesterfield in the last 3rd division escapade.

    So are you saying it’s the fans fault again

    Just had this message from a mate ...

    " I've emailed Harrogate with a freedom of information request to obtain the details and have requested full unconditional refunds for people who'd purchased train tickets etc prior to the announcement. Having spent £500 on train tickets for MK Dons I just want assurances as to what will happen if this starts to happen for league games."

    I guess with an infection rate of 1087, per 100,000 in Sunderland (20 per 100,000 was seen as to high last summer to travel abroad), most of the cases in the under 30 age group and in particular males, meaning that the likely travelling support from Sunderland is coming from a section of the population with about 3,000 cases per 100,000, they think addding drink into the mix produces a superspreader event.

    If that’s the case I am concerned about what will happen next month when the season starts, are we going to have away fans banned, or even some games behind closed doors?

    Not at all, just trying to get my head around why they did this at the last minute. Until someone comes out with a full explanation all that is happening is guesswork.

    How can I get this free stream?
    Do I go onto YouTube and put something in the search box like at York or what.
    If anyone can supply a link of how to watch this I think many of us (oldies, so keep it simple) will be thankful.

    If Covid was eradicated by ingesting alcohol our away support would be one of the safest groups on the planet. But, as you rightly point out, they're probably one of the worst ...

    ... there'll be little social distancing, hand disinfecting or mask wearing. Football is supposed to be a release from normal life, not a continuation, and people will naturally want to relax and go daft.

    I'm so glad the government are still dictating what young healthy people can do with their lives, how's about we isolate the old/at risk people instead of everybody...
