Middlesbrough v Bournemouth Allowed 1000 fans

Anyone received their email yet?

I don't think fans should be allowed in yet no matter how distanced, we are seeing a massive upsurge in COVID19 infection rates, have we forgotten the horrors of this disease and the risk we put our key workers in, it's just a game of football.

As long as it’s done properly I can’t see how a 1000 in that space should be an issue.

Is it more dangerous than going to work, the pub, the cinema, shopping ?

We can't go into lockdown forever, and therefore making things safer and socially distanced is the way to go.

I'm guessing the bars won't be open in the concourse, so for that reason I'm out ........... no way I could watch that ***** sober

I'm tempted to pretend I have, just to see the confusion and anger it would cause on here.....

 

[Capybara]

Aw, ruined it ...

Yes I have, never said if I was one of the 1000, but just asked me who I'd want to sit next to.

Still too soon for me, this is what's happening elsewhere and it's on the way, needless risks should not be taken, just my opinion mind.

Will be like the Strachan days all over again

 

[Block_4_Eastender]

The 500 that missed out should be allowed in. Mind it would be like Jim Bowen showing you a speed boat.

 

[Capybara]

The 500 that missed out should be allowed in.

The ST holders who didn't get a cup final ticket in 1997 ...

With only a couple of days to go, I wouldn’t even go the social bubble route, just have 1000 single seats dotted about, names in a hat.

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

Nonsense comment.

1000 people spread across a 34,000 seater stadium.

It's not going to be 1000 fans packed in to one section of a stand.

One set of 6 allowed through the concourse at a time?

I have just received a call from the club.......imagine my excitement after hearing this news!

It turned out that they were just confirming that my daughter was also included in the the ballot as part of my bubble. They only called because there is no contact email address for her.

The concourse bars are not going to be open THIS SEASON

 

[rob_fmttm]

I’m sure Middlesbrough haven’t just found out through the news and have been working with EFL for weeks behind the scenes

They have been working behind the scenes but this one has likely been on, off, on, off... subject to EFL, government, council, safety group.. all sorts of red lights, green lights, amber lights.

 

[FullTiltTraore]

The concourse basr are not going to be open THIS SEASON

Is that an EFL rule or a Boro rule?

 

[Tommy_Dickfingers]

The crowds will dip below 500 in that case.

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

The crowds will dip below 500 in that case.

If you win a place and cant go can you pass on your place to another?

 

[Marvanelli]

Be interesting how MFC select the 1,000 fans.

Has to be random surely (based on bubbles)?

Then if the next home game is still restricted to 1,000....a random ballot again (without the first 1,000 that were picked)...and so on.
