[Armitage Shanks]

From Saturday restrictions will be lifted (he has an announcement tomorrow) I assume it will be too late for us to attend the blackburn game, in terms of organising etc.

I’d guess it would be from Monday - unless they were given prior notice, I couldn’t see City being able to get things ready for Saturday.

We’ve struggled to get a team ready let alone a crowd.

Re: IF Drakeford says...

He only said two days ago he will look at it a week Friday (21st) but cases had to be on the way down over a number of days.

Changing them tomorrow will be admitting hes been too cautious so thats unlikely to happen.

The man is drunk on power.

The reaction he gets is hilarious.

drunk on power because he was slightly more cautious in easing restrictions than some nearby countries?.
I don't think it's going to make anyone's top ten of examples of people being drunk on power any time soon.

Clubs have already said it will be behind closed doors and kick off time moved. No chance for this one.

You really believe he's the only one who makes the decision?

Too late to order the pies anyway.

Probably! Remember when Plaid complained earlier about "Rule by dictat" ?

What really irritates me is how he is using the pro-lockdown peoples new speak to try to fool folks into accepting the crap.
we no longer have restriction we have 'protections'. The fact that he is 'protecting'people who don't particularly feel the need for or want protecting is lost. The pro lockdown sage advisers and NHS pro lockdown brigade started using it 1 day and he started using it the next.
He is so worried about us he is even 'protecting' Chester FC.

the 'protection' word is deffo him. If the rest was all him it would only be true to form from anecdotal evidence mentioned on here in the past/ but it doesn't matter, nothings going to change if it is or if it isn't

He doesn't do footy or footy fans ,if he did and had a a thought process he could use Saturday as a first step crowd trail with full Covid pass restriction in place .

What will happen it will coincide with Rugby .

This is a man who shut the pantomime down in the new theatre for grandparents and children whilst pubs along that street and in the surrounding areas who saw more footfall and people .

Man is an arse

Keep voting for him folks

How more cautious can you get though? Most of the restrictions he has brought in recently have had a minimal impact of the case rate .

These restrictions are fine if you’re unaffected , however, with Wales, It particularly affected the hospitality sector. it’s one of the biggest employers and a brings in £216m p.a It was well documented the Omicron variant was mild , yet he chose to implement additional restrictions regardless.

Re: IF Drakeford says...

Tomorrow's game should be played in front of a crowd.

He may announce that crowds can come back from next week but far more likely it will be a week Friday before any announcement.

Re: IF Drakeford says...

The restrictions will undoubtedly be lifted in time for the 6 Nations.
It won't be because of the 6 Nations starting, but because the data allows him to. That won't stop many football fans claiming he's anti-football and pro-rugby, forgetting that Welsh rugby teams have also been playing behind closed doors.
