Yeah, the massives will fill our unwanted seats.

 

Belgian football stadiums reportedly up to 35% capacity last weekend

 

This board will come and go.


They'll be coming tomorrow if they get £2.5 million for Woodrow

 

Anyone changed their minds since this was published? I’m more swaying towards a firm no.

Have vaccines made this more likely? Or have the influence of the weirdos of SAGE meant that it will be seen as socially unacceptable to ever be close to other human beings ever again?

 

No we ll be back in football stadiums, capitalism rules.

 

Of course we will be back in Oakwell. I don't think for a second you think otherwise.

 

Yes, but in a full house? I think the chances of that ever being allowed again are very slim.

 

I think there’s a reasonable prospect it will happen by August this year mate

Suspect (hat) masks will be required mind. Which will be odd.

At that point cases and pressure on the nhs will have dropped significantly due to a combination of the vaccine and the seasonal reduction. Life will get back to normal, it simply has to.

I doubt we will get fans back in this season and I think the euros will be played behind closed doors.

 

I don't. Are you saying there will never be music festivals allowed ever again?

 

Cases and pressure on the NHS had dropped massively in August just gone. Community transmission was next to nothing. What’s the difference?

 

Only in a hugely sanitised version where you all get your little shitty pen space to be in.

 

10,000 is hardly a full house.

In fact it's not even half full.

 

yes we will one day soon ,reminds me of the time my dad told us a tale about when as a child he said to his mum " will we ever sleep in a bed again mum and not under this kitchen table", "one day son,one day", very sad tale, scary times for a child , fecking bailiffs

 

We didn't have a vaccine back then though did we?

 

Vaccine I guess mate. The acid test will be this time next year, let’s hope the vaccines have been effective (that’s the time we will find out) and other medicines have come into play.

to me the big elephant in the room is the dismantling of our health service over the years, which has contributed to the way we have been able to handle the pandemic. I’m 100% sure normal life will return though.

 

We all still feeling confident?

 

Add that to the headline news that the vaccines don't really give much protection from the newer variants and Oxford are saying they might have one that does in 9 more months and I really can't see people being allowed to live their lives any time soon unless we accept that as awful as it is people do die every second of every day and have done since the dawn of time.

 

What But Prof Sarah Gilbert, Oxford lead vaccine developer - which I think is what you’re referring to, said is this:-

"What that is looking like is that we may not be reducing the total number of cases but there's still protection in that case against deaths, hospitalisations and severe disease."

She added: "That's really important for healthcare systems, even if we are having mild and asymptomatic infections, to prevent people going into hospital with Covid would have a major effect."

quite positive I would say given the aim is to reduce hospitalisation and death to a point where the system isn’t overrun. Or are you referring to something else ?

 

If vaccinating 99% of those at risk doesn't get us back normal life it makes the vaccine rather pointless.

 

No, i think the plans to reduce the capacity to 9,999 will get the go ahead before were aloud back in
