I hope it has a positive impact but it's very easy for these petitions to reach 100,000+ nowadays and most don't amount to anything.

I've signed anyway.

I personally think this will be ignored.
I have signed it anyway.
The only way to move things forward is positive action.
If a crowd turned up at each stadium a match was being played at, and continued to do that the publicity would force the issue.

Its like the Government think Premier League spending means all is well.

Why do we want fans in stadiums if it might spread the virus?

A lot of people care more about watching a game of football than spreading a deadly virus, it’s ridiculous but true.

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

The Premier League games have been better without the fans there.

 

[S7DiscoDown]

Signed it

I doubt it will make any difference but a nice idea.

 

[Corco65]

not signing it, have we not learnt about what really is important at times like these, yes football can bring some relief but not at the expense of people's health.

If done correctly they can create a low risk environment. Certainly much lower risk thatn schools, workplaces, pubs etc etc.

Its safer than being in an enclosed room - a pub.
The experiement at the Boro was really well marshalled and organised - much better than any pub or cinemas showing matches live!

When players who are in so called bubbles and test regularly catch it, and Mr Trump and crew can spread it wildly it would seem at an outdoor event, why take unnecessary risks and potential to spread it further and create more and more problems for the NHS, the rates of infection are going up and up, so no from me.

Johnsons "back to work" "back to school" has had more negative impact than any football experiemnt.

You cant use the "protect health" argument in anticipation there will be a return to "old normal" at some indefinate stage in the future(?).

Thinking laterally is the "new normal".

You can not "protect health" by forcing all businesses to the wall and force people on low incomes into poverty - which negatively impacts on our peoples mental health.
NHS "Talking Therapy" services are drowning under demand which has been impacted severely by lock-down and other restrictions.

Its a bit beyond just watching football.

Based on what science?

The Boro experiment was really well done, but 1,000 fans to every home game isn't going to save football.

The richer clubs just need to accept they have a responsibility and save the poorer clubs. And if it's not done some clubs will go bust. It's very sad but it is what it is.
