    Well I haven't signed because I consider this petition to be pointless.

    No matter what the criteria is or what the ins and outs of their reasons are (they'll have reasons why we can't attend that we don't know about),
    the government aren't going to risk our lives because some of us actually want them to :emoticon-0145-shake

    Sorry Gordon but I can’t disagree more. It’s nothing to do with risking lives. The conservatives want 3000 people in the Albert hall (5000 capacity) and think that will be safe. They allow hundreds in aeroplanes to sit a foot apart and share toilet. They allow unlimited numbers into shops and shopping centres. So what scientific proof can there possibly be that letting people into an outdoor, socially distanced stadium is more dangerous? It is literally a case of one rule for those that suit the Tory argument and put money in the coffers, and one for those who don’t. I’m convinced it’s financial. They make very little money from football fans. They made fortunes from holiday companies and the arts etc. You say we’ll never know, it’s blatantly obvious to me

    How can having an outdoor stadium 20% full be more dangerous than having an indoor venue 60% full?

    This is it mate, and this is what’s causing the anger and starting some rebellion.

    Nothing is uniform, nothing makes clear sense, the rules seem applicable to only certain folk and backgrounds.

    The closure of the hospitality industry again from Monday is going to be a final nail for many businesses and scientific advice hasn’t supported it, it’s just them wanting to appear to be ‘doing something’

    There’s the timing of the spike which points to education but they won’t admit that as it was such a big statement they made before the return of schools and universities about how they wouldn’t let education be affected.

    I can’t play golf with my dad, but the upper classes can hunt? Isn’t that the almost identical scenario in terms of grouping, being outdoor and risk?

    Keeping the grounds closed doesn’t just hem the club it harms small vendors who are utterly reliant on match day traffic. The council or club but cone around a one-way system around the bridges and stadium, and we have a huge stadium with so many turnstiles and an open bowl, queuing could be minimised, keep the refreshment booths closed.

    Football of course is escapism for many, I love my football, it have a generally busy life, for some folk it’s everything and there’s damage to them keeping them away, all has to be factored in and hasn’t.

    France, Germany, Portugal and Italy are seeing phased returns to stadia, stadia (bar Germany) not in the same league as most in UK for safety. Scandinavian countries grounds are at a second stage of reintroduction.

    I can’t for the life of me see the justification, or at least why it can’t be reviewed by local councils on a club by club basis. For me you put 20k in our stadium and 2 metre distancing can be easily done, masks can be compulsory when moving around and easily policed.

    let us decide if we want to take a chance or not, i would be there next home game if given the chance, i would be careful and wear a mask etc, i don't go on holiday or in pubs (drink at home) so less risk anyhow.
