Its the right decision. Unfortunate for clubs finances and for fans, but it's the right thing to do.

Inevitable, thank goodness we didn’t have a thousand fans at last Saturday’s game.

There is no consistency though. I was watching Hashtag united on the BBC last night and there must have been a thousand fans there all standing on top of each other. I can only assume the virus doesn’t do non league.

Nowhere near 1000 there. 600 all ticket crowd. The Len Salmon stadium isn't particularly large. The side the cameras were on has no stand, just a flat path.

Saw very little problem personally with the crowd from the 2 mins or so of first half I saw.

So what you are saying is a made a good guess. 600 + staff. Players. TV people. Etc. Thanks for confirming.

Shifting your position a bit. You said there were a thousand fans. You were wrong. The crowd was limited to 600.

Most people would realise 600 is considerable less than 1000. Indeed, your figure is 66.66666% more than the actual figure

66.66667% if we're being pedantic pricks.

Except its not, because that is to over exagerate. its 66.666666recurring %

If you are going to be pedantic, try to get your facts right first

Its my fault? What for being called a silly sausage?

My fault for accurately posting that the crowd was nowhere near the figure claimed?

So it’s safe to go into a pub for a few pints or eat in a restaurant, but it’s unsafe for a very limited number of Football fans to be socially distanced and watch a game from a large stand or terrace 😡😡😡

Here's another one - go to a non league game and if another spectator laters tests positive for Covid, you have to self isolate - even if other spectator was at other end of ground or other side of pitch as track and trace apps can only place you in ground and NHS can't tell you name etc of person testing positive.

Yet if a player tests positive, the opposition do not have to self isolate as football is not deemed close contact

So players who may have had lots of actual contact during game don't isolate, bspectatorsors who may never have come within 100 yards of each other have to isolate

Have a look at the celebrations at the end of the game after the penalty shoot-out. You choose the wrong 2minutes to watch and make a judgement.

I did not watch sufficient to make a judgement. I said i saw nothing wrong, not that there was nothing wrong. The 2 are very different things.

Why are you even on this message board? Your profile picture clearly shows that you support some sh*tty non-league team. Why don’t you go and infest their message board with your tedious b*loocks?

Love you too even if you are unable to use your sole brain cell.

Not sure what your problem is.

I have been a season ticket holder at Orient for 20 years now. Perhaps you would prefer I don't give my money to Orient. Perhaps in your warped mind you think it helps Orient to drive spectators away.


Some of us are football fans. I am currently on my way home from my 4th cup tie in 5 days because I am a football fan, not a myopic idiot who tries to drive resources away from a club he claims to support.

However, to answer your question, I am on here because I know how angry and annoyed it makes you.

I can’t see that there will be a league two next year. Clubs will disappear and we will see one league made up of a mix of league one and two.

Thanks for that George. Nice bit of positivity based on absolutely nothing to start the day off.

Because of course there are no clubs below League 2 that could be promoted in the event of your doomsday scenario happening.

There are only 92 football clubs in England

I'm going to wager he's on multiple boards doing the exact same thing. We're not special.
