Unfortunately you won't win over any real racists with that kind of attitude. You cannot educate the intolerant by being intolerant sadly.

You are probably right but unsure how you suggest getting through to someone who is that bereft of intelligence?

well it looks like Millwall FC have now severed all links to the BLM political movement and wont be taking the knee again. Proves my point and the majority of football fans views you melt

Thankfully it's not a majority you idiot. Millwall are trying to avoid embarrassing but some of the players still want to take the knee. Stop making yourself look a fool.

The BBC website is suggesting Birmingham will remain in Tier 3 following next weeks review.

They are below the 200 cases per 100k threshold that Matt Hancock used to justify some decisions in the past.

I think our problem could be even if fans are allowed into St Andrews will ours ? They, they being Birmingham council might frown upon 2000 travelling into Brum from outside the city at one time unacceptable, so I’m sceptical it will happen to be honest.

If it does go into tier 2 it will happen it’s the fact it’s likely not to be tier 2

I am optimistic fingers crossed Coventry could be tier 2 not so sure about Birmingham we’ll find out Monday I believe, our problem is we are sandwiched between Brum, Leicester and North Warwickshire.

The sad fact is the club probably do not want fans back in small numbers as the cost outweighs the benefit. They would not publicly admit to that but has to be the case. I would say without 3.000 to 4,000 fans it is not cost effective.

Saw someone from Shrewsbury on the news the other night ahead of their first game worth fans back and he said it was costing them.

It won’t be as the people allowed in have already paid up front.

Watching the Fulham game vs Liverpool what a huge unfair advantage it really is.

We need our home fans back asap.

That's not the point. The stewarding, policing and all the Covid compliance stuff will cost the club around £13K pet home game. Also they will pay less to BCFC for rent.

That’s what I was saying. They’ll have no income as they’ve already had the season ticket money so fans will be in for free. It’s just cost to the club with little income

Now looks inevitable that Coventry & Warwickshire will be reduced to Tier 2 but that Birmingham will remain in Tier 3

Next review might be brought forward to 23rd December but council calling to stay in Tier 3 until January at least.

I presume we're (Warwickshire) are only in Tier 3 because of Nuneaton/Bedworth/Rugby. South Warwickshire, Leamington, Warwick, Stratford have the lowest cases in the County. Doesn't help we're next to Coventry and Solihull though unfortunately.

23rd Dec

How handy pre-Xmas/New year.

Good news everybody - you're all in tier 1! Until we review it in two weeks when you're all in tier 3, where you'll be staying until March.

Stratford being Tier 3 was crazy.

All this absolute insane tiering/lockdown bollocks over a virus that’s got a 98% recovery rate & since February has ‘only’ killed 300 odd people under the age of 60....it’s totally over the top

How on earth are they going to maintain the level of social distancing we've seen in other countries when they've started letting fans back in and have 50% capacity?

Was listening to the owner of an NHL hockey team and he said they've modelling needing to leave a minimum of 2 seats in every direction around every group of supporters. Said it would likely be around a quarter capacity and definitely no more than a third - dependent on how many people were in each group.

Not even close if you allow for distancing in front and behind as well

Go on then, prove the 98% thing. As far as I am aware you can't calculate that number. I really don't want to live like this, pretending it is not a problem would literally kill thousands off and overwhelm the NHS. Get that fucking vaccine in me.

3000+ deaths a day in the USA, increased deaths in Germany hence a new lockdown and a new variant found today and there are plenty under 60s in hospital with COVID

So people over 60 don't matter? I am not that age but I hate the idea that because it kills more older people it doesn't matter.

Also what do you mean by recover? It's not just about those who die.
