Rovers v Sunderland 27 dec. plan B measures?

[Metalmicky]

Still waiting for my pass letter for over a week now. NHS not sending me the 6 digit code I need to use app tried 20 times blinking useless.

Very harsh on yourself mate.....

[Metalmicky]

I see Sunderland play tonight in the EFL Cup away to Arsenal...... what's the betting that some of their players catch Covid whilst in Londres...

[silent majority]

If you are asked to show your Covid pass there's a slightly quicker way than using the NHS app. If you add it to the wallet app on your phone it will be accessible immediately.

I always find that the NHS app can be a bit slow when working your way through the various options before you get to it. Using the wallet app makes it so much quicker.

.... have you been "framed" ?

Can see the game going ahead, but with no fans in attendance. Seen rumours that new measures will be in place midnight of the 26th

Scotland and Wales aren't allowing anyone in. Can see this happening. Will be a real shame for everyone whos bought tickets but at least its on TV.

If that's the case, why don't they postpone and reschedule it, rather than playing it with no fans?

That’s always been the case, they wouldn’t let the romans in, due to that, underfloor heating has only just been thought of there.

It wouldn’t be good for anyone who doesn’t have Sky tv, like me.
Maybe ifollow if the club can arrange for ST holders to see it otherwise it is a write off.

[BVB]

Got my Covid pass!!

will it stop you catching covid though?

Not necessarily.
But will reduce the potential for making you seriously ill/ hospitalised.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

I would imagine the club will want to hold on to the TV money with no guarantee the rearranged fixture will be screened.

[normal rules]

This game I think will go ahead, but behind closed doors.

[BVB]

Ouch.
How they going to deal with all those that have bought tickets / season ticket holders if they do go ahead with the game in an empty stadium?

At the very least they need to put it on ifollow for all us Sky-deniers.

  Well, they came down with a bump tonight they have just had a right chasing at Arsenal.

Bracing myself for an announcement on Xmas Eve to bring in new measures to start 27th

So "a better Xmas than last year" promise delivered then shut down for 2 weeks

[non political post - just saying what looks to be coming]

[Padge_DRFC]

Once grounds are shut I can't see it being a quick 2 weeks. Hopefully the worst we get is covid passports regardless of less than 10k crowds.

we are preparing at work for a lockdown after Xmas ,but financial support is needed for staff

Thought Sunderland looked excellent first half and the goal they scored was real quality. Didn’t watch much of the second half but it’s no real surprise to see a score line like that when Arsenal were playing 3 players alone who cost £150m.

[steve@dcfd]

Sunderland looked a good side but played a quality premier league side. Unfortunately for them they appear to have lost Broadhead for the game against us. We will only have the same players available for this game so who evers the manager they will have to get the best out of them just to avoid defeat.

We have a few returning from injury, so not the same.

[roversdude]

The change in isolation rules should allow our players to return to training earlier (changed to 7 days isolation with negative test at the end)

[EasyforDennis]

I have a feeling that we will be watching this on TV. The clown will announce on either Christmas Day or Boxing Day that fans will not be allowed to attend games.

[normal rules]

Wales have banned spectators from sporting events from 26th.

It will be announced Christmas Eve, once the shops have closed!! Wealth over health.

[roversdude]

Will parliament have to be recalled to put more stringent measures in place ?
