Fingers crossed. No idea on number of season ticket holders

Re: Fans return 30th September : Tue Aug 25, 2020 10:43 pm  

Around 8,000 - 9,000 I think.

What is the scientific basis for this? What is so special about September 30th as opposed to any other time? It beggars belief that this is being considered at a time when there's so much anxiety surrounding the (much more necessary) re-opening of schools.

As far as I'm aware the virus situation won't have changed by the end of next month, so mass gatherings of people will continue to be highly risky, if not seriously irresponsible. How can they realistically enforce social distancing and mask wearing in an environment when a large number of people will want to sing and shout? A handful of people joining in the first round of 'the referee's a ***ker' and it won't be long before Leeds is back in lockdown. SL clubs are struggling as it is to keep their squads free of COVID as it is, and West Yorkshire is already something of a national hot spot for the virus - absolute madness to re-open Headingley in this way, even with a reduced capacity.

I still don't understand why clubs/RFL haven't done more to develop a streaming service. It would be the ideal solution if fans aren't permitted into grounds for the foreseeable future.

Regardless of the science or rights and wrongs of this, there’s no way the government will bring the date forward. They have so far only put dates back.

Whats the problem with getting people back?

Deaths are almost zero (most are back dated and some not even due to CV19 like the mysterious co-morbidity figures)

Cases can be found anywhere if you test like crazy in areas that have increased levels (Rochdale, Blackburn etc) - which is whats happening.

It doesn't help those that hide behind the sofas and are obsessed with masks, despite it being 6 months too late.


The whole situation is no longer scientific - its political willy waving.

We've had VE Day congas, Bank Holidays, BLM marches, Schools part opening, Pubs opening, Restaurants open and NO second wave.

How many more 'in 2 weeks times' do we have to wait?



CV19 is done. Its only the scaremongering MSM and state run BBC that are desperate for clicks to advertising that are keeping this whole situation alive.
