Certainly starting to feel like that’s the likely scenario. As we head into flu season I can’t help but feel Nov - Feb are going to be the most challenging period yet, what with cases rising as they are. I love football, and I’m deeply concerned for the future of clubs up and down the country, both professional and lower down the pyramid. They’re such an important part of the cultural fabric of our society, and they’re under threat. Not just football but all sports clubs, theatres, the arts etc which are struggling to pay the bills. I wouldn’t dispute that 10’s of thousands of people meeting up in close proximity to shout at 22 blokes playing football isn't a potential hotbed for the spread of the disease, my head says it almost certainly is. I just hope we might be afforded a compromise position to allow such organisations to limp through beyond the winter, and hopefully to better times. | |
