It really has to be a priority for kids to be back in school in September. If I was a parent, I would be hugely concerned about home schooling continuing for the rest of 2020. Hopefully, in Wales, this isn't in jeopardy as there has been a more deliberate step by step easing of restrictions.
As regards football matches, I can't see anything better than grounds at 20% capacity with no away fans for the upcoming season. I hope I am wrong but, in all honesty, how is football going to survive this in the Lower Leagues? How many people are employed by football clubs from Championship level down?
Let's say Cardiff offer full credit for 2021/22 in the event that some (if not all) season ticket holders couldn't make any games in 2020/21. Then, the financial burden has only been delayed 12 months. Even if clubs are back at full capacity in 2021/22, the financial burden will stretch a season or two on.
It really is time for pragmatism. I see no point in starting 2020/21 if fans can't get in. In fact, I think it's important to address it because a lot of people are forking out a lot of money for something that cannot be delivered nationally.
