    You’ll be lucky, I’m nearly 58 with asthma and high blood pressure, in the higher risk group. With that online calculator I won’t get the vaccine until June-ish, so unless other vaccines come through in the coming months it’ll be next autumn before people not in the 8 or 9 categories get vaccinated.

    Don't want the game to go ahead if there's any risk to health though..

    The Oxford vaccine is expected to be cleared early next week to have millions of the 100 million doses on order to start giving to people from early January. It was announced today the NHS are due to start trialling a antibody drug that gives instant immunity. The UK should be a far different place in four months.

    On. Play the game get the three points and on we go. The lads must be brimming with confidence, why would you not want it to be on?

    I hope you are right but fear you are being a bit too optimistic. How quickly can the Oxford vaccine be rolled out. Also how successful the tinfoil hat brigade are are scaring people off taking it.
    Things will be better in 4 months and the current wave will have peaked and declined vaccine or not but will we get a third wave with a vaccine resistant mutation?
    I don’t think any of us know.
    The next 2 months aren’t gong to be much fun that’s certain. After that it’s basically guesswork

    Famous last words but those are the plans. This vaccine is a lot easier to roll out than Pfizer with their storage issues. This one can be transported and kept in the same way as the flu vaccine so they can open up big venues like sports stadiums and get through millions of people quickly (hopefully). You're probably right about scaring people off taking it because healthy people have been getting it, which makes you worry that those at highest risk still don't want it.....

    We shall see if it's blind optimism in the coming months from me. I suspect we will see Matt Hancock blowing his own trumpet tomorrow or Tuesday. I genuinely think we will see games this season without any restrictions in place even if it's just the last couple and without away fans.

    I recall something like 8 midweek matches are covered by the deals so we’d still have to pay I reckon

    They can **** off wanting an extra tenner. I've bought my ticket which includes midweek away games and despite what ******** the club say I bought the ticket off THEM and THEIR website stipulates which games are eligible. It is THEIR responsibility to provide the service they have taken money off me in exchange for. If they want to try to argue with the EFL they can but that's not my job it's theirs.

    Where have you got that from? There were no numbers mentioned. It said the agreement with the EFL was all midweek away matches were eligible (minus something about TV matches I think) no numbers and certainly no 'unless we pretend Tuesday is Saturday randonly'

    From barnsleyfc.co.uk

    Reds Reserved+ - All home league matches (played behind closed doors) + all midweek away league matches (played behind closed doors)


    That was on the club's own website yet the club are now claiming it's not their fault that they have used false advertising. False advertising which stil exists on their website today.

    I’ve argued this point before. They just pass it on to it being the EFL’s decision.

    I also have doubts that this season will finish given the number of games off.

    Anyone got any inside info on whether it'll be on or not. It's my wedding anniversary so may have plans to make around it :D

    Our club offered it and have gone back on their word and tried to shift the blame to the EFL. It was amusing yesterday seeing the piracy adverts on iFollow when that's what's going to happen for the Rotherham game.

    Millwall against Watford.
