In England, stadia open after trial events. What about Wales? Implications for STs?

I wonder if they knew about this before the friendly fixture announcement yesterday

What friendly? Cant see any club announcement.
I'm wondering, if Wales follows the England pattern, if the first 5000 to renew STs will be allowed in to home matches as part of the ramp up events? Anyone else renewing gets City TV until full attendance matches are allowed.

I was assuming a club friendly had been announced. It is getting a bit close to my afternoon 40 winks time though.

The England v Wales games has been announced as behind closed doors.

Iceland host England in September and want to get some fans to watch. Iceland domestic games have around 1,000 people allowed to attend at the moment.

Also in Copenhagen they have 9,000 people allowed into their stadium (it's a 38,000 seat stadium) and they play England in September as well and want to have home fans allowed. Uefa are to decide.

I read somewhere 40% capacity.

Presumably any re entry will come down to Hull stubs again then? It's the fairest way

Can you float around a pub under social distancing rules?

Mark Drakeford has just said Wales will wait until England have pilot events with crowds before allowing people back in to stadiums here.

Wales will use the results of the pilot events to prepare for crowds returning here

[The Bloop]

How will Boris assess if the pilot events are successful? Maybe count the infection rate a few weeks later of those who attended?

Possibly late October/early November then by the time Wales catches up with England. Then with ramp up matches at CCS.
Perhaps reduced price STs, CC TV included until crowds return in full and first 5000 ST sales get to go to ramp up matches in October (1000 each for Canton, grandstand, family stand, upper and lower Ninian) might be a way forward.

[CCFCC3PO]

I wonder if this would force the EFL to delay the start of the season? It would make sense to enable some of those clubs struggling to maximise income.

That might be one way. Mustn't forget that staff need protecting from CV too. Chances are ramp up events will also include how easy it is to socially distance queues getting in to stadia, how effective spreading fans is around the ground and look for any evidence of increase in CV amongst players and officials. The stadium safety officer will have fun writing the risk assessment.

Socially distant queuing to get into the stadium should be easy enough. We've spent the last 4 months practising how to do it. Problem will be if those queuing and attending have been on the beer for hours before the game.

Not sure how busy your local Tesco is Mike but this will be queueing on a vastly different scale. If it's 2m between each person the queue will go back to Canton

Ha.

Just thought of one positive though everyone can get swabbed in the car park before going in by queuing through the testing booths.

Be good to see them actually being used.

The last 4 months have been spring, which was unusually warm this year, and summer. It won't be quite the same in the middle of winter.

I think it will be alright, I can’t see people flocking back to pubs just yet, maybe not until this winter is over anyway. I’m sure the young will, I know I would if I was 23. Restaurants prob still have distancing naturally spread out. People go out less when the weather is shiiite dont they? Most will just be at home naturally self isolating no?

I was referring to queuing to get into the stadium, which won't be much fun in bad weather. It's quite exposed down there.

[The Bloop]

However much social distancing you try to implement before entering the stadium you'll still get half the crowd turning up 10 minutes before kick off
