Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted August 19, 2020 Only a start but an important one.This means fans can return for clubs in the leagues below the conference south, so locally the Wroxhams, Fakenhams etc. Until we can get back into Carrow Road it may be nice to pop down and see some live football, social distancing should not be a problem. I suspect Conference and lower leagues may be next, but there have to be pilots first which for some reason cannot start before October. Many lower league clubs could allow their fans back pretty safely. When my in laws were alive i used to take in the odd Carlisle game when visiting, their ground hold 15000 and they normally get crowds of about 3000 including away fans so much less of a challenge than the bigger clubs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,092 Posted August 19, 2020 I suppose the challenge could be people are drawn to these games and the crowds increase. However are fans that desperate for live football? Probably not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would take in a few conference games if Kings Lynn open up before us and at best we will only get one game a month in the immediate future Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coneys Knee 932 Posted August 19, 2020 Would be good if people did go to some of these games but agree that few will. Financially it’d be a big help to grass roots football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted August 19, 2020 This is below National League N/S, I think. It does mean I can go and watch my local side(s) Kingstonian and Corinthian Casuals, who (groundshare and) play just over a mile away👍🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted August 19, 2020 Should be - think step 7 is Isthmian, Southern and Northern Premier (or whatever they are now calked). I think Lowestoft moved from Isthmian to Southern Premier a season or two back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also my local team. Never been to see them, but perhaps in these strange times I should wander along to their shiny new stadium and take in a game. As you say already have the colours.

dylanisabaddog 4,753 Posted August 19, 2020 When it starts I'll put a thread up with local games so we can all add ones we like the look of. Dereham have always been worth watching and Mulbarton are good as well. I can't wait to see football again 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted August 19, 2020 I do head off to watch my local Isthmian (Bostik) sides a fair bit (£10 adult, free for kids), it’s pretty decent footy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

......and Smith must score. 1,311 Posted August 19, 2020 This government's handling of coronavirus so far suggests they think clubs below tier 7 don't have spectators at all. 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well b back 3,140 Posted August 19, 2020 Op said I suspect Conference and lower leagues may be next, but there have to be pilots first which for some reason cannot start before October. With my tin hat on I will say that there is a fair chance of the over 50’s and vulnerable being able to be vaccinated in October or November. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxy2600 282 Posted October 6, 2020 Well I'm gonna get this topic back on top.... Went to my first Tier 7 (Isthmian) tonight in many a year. Supporting the local YEEEEELLLLLOWWWS! Horsham 5 - Enfield 2 - some great goals, decent play, no falling over, NO F'in VAR!!! Got a bit tasty towards the end with punches flying. Added Bonus? Enfield play in Blue and White LOL!! "Always Sh!t on the Old Blue and White" - sang nobody.......except me 😁 Any exile Canaries most welcome Daaarn Saaarf!! At the Camping World Community Stadium (I kid you not) - or Cawwow as its known. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
