I would hope they would be more compliant. They're being afford massive concessions which allow them to continue to earn their multi millions, exemptions that none of their peers are being afforded. They're setting an awful example and are a massive risk for causing outbreaks. Not sure keeping it going because people are a bit bored washes.
They really aren’t a massive risk for causing outbreaks. They’re either in each other or their families contact and that’s pretty much it. And the risk of actually contracting it whilst playing footy is tiny
It does feel more like a vengeance for a few of them being young and wealthy more than actually solving anything. With more than a bit of jealousy thrown in. And it’s not just a few people being bored. It’s a huge industry and actually pretty impt in keeping kids and some adults interested in sports
I could understand what would be a fairly symbolic shutting of it for a few weeks as a reminder to everyone of the situation we’re in - but not doing it because Jack Grealish has been acting like a tw@t again
So you have dressing rooms which will have what 20+ people in very close proximity x2 per match day, travelling the length of the country twice a week, coming into close contact with local security/facilities teams at each stadium. Then you have cross contamination between the two teams playing, and then the families of the 2 teams and their contacts etc. This was especially ridiculous a few weeks back when we were having regional lock-downs, but even now when we're trying to stop the spread of a mutated virus. Plus European ties, with planes and airports crews. Coach drivers. It's bonkers. And just because it's the sport we all enjoy spectating its still morally wrong to facilitate when it appears every club is having out breaks and these supposed bubbles are a figment of imagination with no recourse for breach. All the while you have a family run shop/pub/business shutting down because they're not allowed to open irrespective of putting every covid measure in place and adhering to it. It is disgusting.
They are in the bubbles of that 20-30 players though, same coach driver kit man etc. They aren’t going to go anywhere near the local facility teams
Tested twice a week in the prem and i believe in the EFL as well now
Risk of contaminating the opposition players is tiny. Certainly a lot lower than shop workers, teachers or take away restaurant staff working together
There’s definitely things they can do a lot better. Why they’ve been able to get away with the group hugs and celebrations is beyond me - but that’s up to the authorities as much as the players if not a lot more
Anyway we’re obviously going to only disagree on it so probably best left at that
