wooster 134 Posted March 11, 2020 I'm not - my son and his debating team had to be taken to Oxford on Saturday, as no teachers were available. So I offered my seat for the game through the buyback scheme. Tonight the Oxford event has been cancelled (virus-related) but my seat has been re-sold so I can't go back on that.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer 1,547 Posted March 12, 2020 Recommended six feet separation. So that's every other row unoccupied, and two seats empty either side of each supporter? So about 3,000 maximum attendance allowed at Carrow Rd then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack Barak 46 Posted March 12, 2020 It does seem irresponsible to let games take place at all if the situation is such that fans cannot attend. Exposing the players, staff and club personnel is unnecessary. Best thing to do is just call it off and we can have a do-over next year. Safety first.

It’s looking highly unlikely that even next season will start. Look at how far things have developed in the last 7 days. I can’t see the current season lasting more than two more weeks and that will be the last football played for the foreseeable future until the world gets on top of this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,638 Posted March 12, 2020 I can’t see that this week’s games will be behind closed doors, but it seems fairly likely that it might happen for next weekend....Saturday could well be our last proper footy for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can’t provide a link as I’ve seen it on twitter but the times sport are saying all matches are to be played behind closed doors in all leagues.
