    I'm not going for a bit until the idiots stop acting like its normal out there.
    Bad enough being out and about for work, masks under the chin, hanging from ears under the nose, hang on I'll take my mask off so I can talk properly etc.

    I'd be delighted to go assuming the measures weren't too draconian. I don't want to have to be tiring up stupidly early.
    Are we going to have charade of only people from the same household sitting together. Obviously this isn't a thing in pubs and restaurants from what I see driving about and on Facebook.
    I'd like to go and be able to sit with my mates. We watched most of last season's games at each others houses anyway.

    With no away fans, I think you're right. Opening up the North stand would make sense

    Can’t wait to get back, cases are rising but deaths don’t seem to be following, probably because if you got hit by a bus and had covid it went down as a covid death. Was in York last weekend the streets were full and it felt like back to normal.

    I’d go back tomorrow if they opened the ground, COVID-19 is real, I would wear a mask and try to keep away from people as much as possible, but I calculate the chances of be catching it and it crippling/killing me are tiny. Everyone has to make their own minds up, if people don’t want to go then don’t go, but it’s time to stop tracking daily deaths when they’re now less then cancers, suicides, and heart attacks.

    Can’t think why anyone would think we might not.

    I think they should hold back on away fans for a while yet, even if home fans were allowed in tomorrow.

    2 deaths announced today so we came close to our first covid free day. We can't keep the entertainment industry struggling forever.

    I'll be back, assuming social distancing measures are put in place. if I can go into a restaurant, I can go to a match. going to be interesting to see how they do it though.

    Let's bloody hope so. We might get a swab test on arrival at the venue and then given our result a few days later. If that's what it takes to get shut of unsocial distancing then it's fine by me.

    I wouldn't be going back (irrespective of club ownership). And it seems much of the country doesn't think the virus is around anymore. Cases have nearly tripled in around a week and hospitalisations and deaths follow cases being first recorded. I'd hope some of the treatments now mitigate risk of death, but as we have no idea what the long term implications of this thing are, and there are people struggling months after contracting the disease, I've no desire to put myself in harms way.

    If others want to, thats their choice. But they'll be doing so at a time where cases are rising and I cant see how its possible to have a completely safe stadium.

    If the government are thinking November 1st to end social distancing, then they must be confident Operation Moonshot is going to be a success to test up to four million people a day. When you go somewhere busy (entertainment venue, train/bus station, supermarket, shopping centre etc) you get tested before entry and get your result back in the coming days. All sounds good to me and would also help out shops because in November/December people would be crazy to queue outside a shop and do all the current rules to do Christmas shopping in the cold, dark and wet when you can just use Amazon.

    I don't know how it will all work though. I suspect we'd all be limited to something like 1 test every 1-2 weeks and have to prove on entry to a place we've had a test already in that timeframe to avoid having to have another so soon.
