    George Floyd

    But you then also have to take factors into account. For example let's say a second 9/11 happened and thousands of people are killed in the attack, yet it was the only Islamic terror attack that year yet there were hundreds of lone gunman attacks by Christian fundamentalists that only killed a...

    Wigan down, Forest blow it....

    Swansea to win p-o. Must be buzzing to have sneaked in. Brentford could well suffer knowing it was in their own hands with two winnable games to go and lost both.

    Forum Statement on New Stadium Announcement

    I'm just pointing out the realism of the situation. There will be people who aren't that bothered about watching us, but want to watch Chelsea. Just as people will be more interested in seeing a winning team than one that isn't. Not saying it's right, just the way it is.

    Forum Statement on New Stadium Announcement

    Well it is. Clubs that win more often and can do so regularly over a half decent time period get higher attendances. If you're playing a big club with big name players more people will want to go and see it. When we've had small runs of good results in the past after a few games the crowd...

    But it also shows that for 24 years out of the last 30 we haven't gone above 20k avg.

    Forum Statement on New Stadium Announcement

    I was pointing out that's how economics is supposed to work. Personally I'd prefer a bit of spare capacity.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    One thing I had a thought over this. Is there a correlation between people who've had their tonsils removed and how seriously they get infected? They are after all there as a kind of early defence mechanism.

    Makes sense really. A strain that can be caught more easily will inevitably end up infecting more people than another less contagious one. Plus if it's less deadly a single person will be able to move around more and survive longer, thus spreading it for a longer period and in more places.

    New Stadium - The pessimist's view...

    In a way, but the tiers would make the difference. With the bowl you have to shut off whole sections front to back and so you end up with bits by the pitch that are uninhabited. With a tier you can bring everyone closer to and surrounding the pitch and the upper section being empty doesn't have...

    If it were down to low viral loads it would bring the potential of using an active vaccine, esp in younger age groups. But that would rely on immunity being reasonably long lasting, which isn't certain at this stage.

    New Stadium - The pessimist's view...

    This could technically be down with different tiers and/or shutting off corner sections. Open up as many as needed depending on demand, starting with the lowest. So with a two tier stadium PL - whole stadium open Championship - shut some sections of upper tier L1 - lower tier open L2 - lower...

    New Stadium - The pessimist's view...

    But you'd had time to make HR feel like home. If you got taken as a kid even if it was a small crowd and not a great game it felt exciting and busy. You can't recreate that sense of wonder as an adult at a new ground. I bet the first time you had sex wasn't the greatest but you look back on it...

    New Stadium - The pessimist's view...

    It's the people that create the atmosphere, not the building. It was a very negative time for the club, falling away both on and off the pitch and less people were going, made worse by the fact we were in a bigger stadium. All that translates through to the fans. Plus you need those memorable...

    Forum Statement on New Stadium Announcement

    Isn't that where the economics comes in though? If we're selling out games and have people unable to go you up the price until there's no excess demand. Plus a smaller ground to start with upgraded would have a better chance of being accepted as 'home' because it'll be more likely to generate...

    I can. If you look at how quickly stuff like this replicates and each replication is the equivalent of a new 'generation' the virus will have gone through millions of 'generations' during that time which in human terms would be like us not having evolved(mutated) from prehistoric times.

    New signing incoming - Ryan Giles on loan

    Bit surprised to see him coming back but more likely to get game time. No idea if he's going to be good enough esp as we've gone up a level but good luck to the lad.
