The tier draw...
Views: 813
“And the first team into tier 2 is........ Nuneaton”
Regions will find out which tier they are in tomorrow.
Spectators can attend elite sport in tier 1 & 2, but not 3.
Adult grassroots teams & players may be told not to travel in/out of tier 3 areas.
Fans will also likely be advised not to travel in/out of tier 3 areas.

Newcastle was in tier 3 yet 80/90 boro fans obtained tickets travelled and gained entry with no problems . We even stood talking to the police before kick off .

Newcastle went into tier 2 in the week of our game, not tier 3.
Hence their town centre pubs being open for just beers, not beer and food/totally closed.

Don't think anyone's really sure what the situation is going to be . This weeks announcement was really all about elite sport and gave very little concrete information on our level .It would be strange if clubs at our level in tier 3 areas we're allowed crowds , but a lot the government does makes little sense so you never know .

I read the actual report, and I would say area levels and games being played in front of spectators apply at our level.
The key (iirc) was the wording “when fixtures resume after the lockdown” (or something like that).... the key being resume as elite have not stopped
I will dig it out later.

there should be no public attendance at spectator sport or indoor performances and large business events should not be taking place. Elite sport events may continue to take place without spectators
you can continue to travel to venues or amenities which are open, but should aim to reduce the number of journeys you make where possible

We can travel to away games in tiers 1 and 2 but cannot attend home games. That is how I see it reads. Boro won’t play with no crowd. Get no income from away games. The Marlow game is for prize money so travelling for that is ok as will all trophy games without crowds. Can’t see league restarting.

Really logical to leave a high risk area and take that to a lower risk area.

Re: Tier 3

My thoughts exactly.
The rules are to prevent making worse in level-3, but okay to spread in level-2.
My own view is going to an outside venue is okay, but going for a meal or any other social indoor event is not.

I very much doubt it.
From what I can gather, most areas in 3.
HOWEVER - Cambridgeshire NOT in this list
West Midlands
Birmingham and Black Country
Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent
Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull
East Midlands
Derby and Derbyshire
Nottingham and Nottinghamshire
Leicester and Leicestershire
Lincolnshire

A chance that next Saturdays game could go a head then if I'm reading that right
With Boro fans allowed too.
Fingers crossed

Whilst I, you and others want to see live football, it really does seem odd that you can leave your high risk area to go somewhere lower risk to watch a game.
Surely, that increases chance of infection spreading and that tier 2 area becoming tier 3 too?

Re: Cambridgeshire (Tier 2)

The way I read it also.
I think ALL boro games could go ahead, but only with spectators at away games that are not in level 3.
I would not be surprised if clubs in tier 3 don't play games.

The way it reads you shouldn't travel from a tier 3 area without a good reason . So in effect home & away are both out if you live local .

Personally I think this is wrong.
It would be far simpler to lock down areas totally (other than travel to work).
WRT to football (well at Boro level), is going to stand outside going to be "dangerous".
As someone who has not been out and not had visitors for ages its very tempting to go (perhaps against my better judgment).

There will be nothing to physically stop someone travelling . The only questions are will they let you in when you get there and are you happy doing it .

I must admit, since this crap started I have never felt 100% comfortable at games and have tried to keep my distance from everyone. I have tried to wear a mask (I was only one doing so at work until became rule), but glasses steam up.
I am torn - I really am. Hence I would rather NOT to have to make a decision.
I would travel alone, and keep my distance. Not going out and/or having visitors is driving me mad (I am not even working now)

Glasses, masks and steaming up

Wash specs in mild solution of warm water and washing up liquid. Leave to air dry. Worn over the mask in normal way they do not then mist over. This really works. I do it to a spare pair and swap specs before putting mask on.

Even though you shouldn't i'm sure plenty of people will be doing things they shouldn't . A lot will depend on the attitude of the home clubs . I probably won't try but i'm not 100% on that unless they say 100% don't do it then i won't .

Hopefully the Southern League will do the same. No saying things will change by Dec 19. Once we play we have to pay players. We will be back in lockdown again by January.

There's a sort of split in our league with the Midlands teams not able to have fans but the Eastern based teams allowed fans . It really is difficult to see how clubs like Boro can play on with no fans or income without running up debts very quickly .

I'd honestly just cancel all football (without testing/sufficient funding) until the vaccine has done it's job.
