It's Government legislation that prohibits watching live football with a drink in your hand. Not COVID related.Which idiot dreamed that up?
No problem with the club it's the inconsistency of the government legislation not allowing socially distant fans at the ground but allowed indoors in the clubhouseA club trying to make some money while adhering to Gov rules. Unblack the windows and fans gather at them.
I don't see much of a problem myself.
Yeah I think it's gone slightly over your head.A club trying to make some money while adhering to Gov rules. Unblack the windows and fans gather at them.

Not gone over my head at all. The club are making money from following Gov guidelines. I can see the irony, but that's not the point. By the same token we should close all hospitality and have pop up bars in parks.Yeah I think it's gone slightly over your head.
No issue with the club trying to make the best of a bad situation, it's the fact that fans are allowed to watch the game inside, instead of being spread across the ground in the open air.
That was exactly my point; the fact that it is deemed unsafe to sit in the open air at a football ground well spaced out from others, but it is perfectly acceptable to put however many people together indoors to watch the game is utterly laughable and perfectly sums up the shambles of how the pandemic is being handled by this govt.Not gone over my head at all.

I'm saying fans should be allowed at games, outside, spread out, watching the football.Are you saying there should be no indoor hospitality?
Care to share one?There are arguments for and against with what you say. The fact that they are showing the game next to the ground is ironic, nothing more.
Jeeps, this question has been done many many times.Care to share one?
That's a no then.Jeeps, this question has been done many many times.
And there are countless examples of people not leaving pubs as they should or congregating in the street.We did hear of some fans not leaving the ground as instructed against Swindon, for example.
I'm hard work?Fuck me, you're hard work. Fans spread out isn't a problem. Perhaps keeping fans spread out pre and post seating maybe the hard part.
So 4 mates all got tickets different parts of the ground, do the current rules allow them to meet up pre and post match in a pub as would be traditional, then would they walk to the ground all SD'd? I guess the pre and post stadium scenarios have driven the decision to halt fans going back.
Anyway, why pick up on a tweet that uses irony to make a point whilst completely ignoring the fact that NL clubs need all the income streams they can get- or hadn't you or the twatter noticed that?
Look, the first thing is you actually never made a comment on the OP other than C&P the tweet. Second thing is the rules are there and in the case of fans in games I can see it from both sides. Thirdly you harp on about sitting inside etc etc but there is economic reasoning behind that.I'm hard work?
The initial post went straight over your head thinking the point was about blacked out windows, and you've spent the rest of the thread trying to dig yourself out.
The axiom of my reply was that the rules are there.@fcblackpool was a bit like Boris in this thread. Knew he'd fucked up early but too stubborn to admit it so doubled down again and again.
