That looks a smart setup there. A sports bar and a pizzeria at a football stadium? How long were Bristol City in the Premier League to get the finances to invest in those superb facilities?

Yes, but can you pay by card? Donโt be ridiculous the chief executive is busy not deciding the transfer policy , not negotiating the deals and handing total autonomy to the manager , what on earth do you expect for 800k a year and ten years averaging north of ยฃ50m revenue. . Jesus the blokes got FFP now spring on Jon out fo the blue and you want pizza and creti cards football supporters hey want the earth

I canโt see this season progressing much further. A six month break beckons. I assume the club haven't/won't announce any plans on season tickets for the rest of this season - even some kind of Season Streaming pass?

The Government has responded to the petition:
"Football clubs form the bedrock of our communities and play a vital role in the local economy. Their importance has been clearly demonstrated throughout the pandemic with clubs at all levels providing incredible support to their area.
That is why the Government is committed to supporting sports clubs up and down the country, with many football clubs benefitting from the Governmentโs unprecedented financial support to businesses.
The Government is fully aware of the importance of getting spectators back into stadia for many sports, and the financial consequences of the decision not to allow this from 1 October. The evidence received from the Chief Medical Officer was very clear that at a time of rapidly rising infections, and when the Government was considering restrictions elsewhere, it was not the right time to undertake any further easements.
We will continue to work closely with a whole range of sports to understand the latest thinking that might allow spectators to return. This includes the creation of a new Sports Technology Innovation Working Group of sporting bodies and health experts to analyse new technologies which might support this. This will supplement the draft government guidance, and the SGSA supplementary guidance to their Green Guide, which has been internationally welcomed.
We are committed to getting spectators back into stadia as soon as it is safe to do so.
Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"
This is all fine and well, except they haven't addressed the fact that theatres and palladiums have been allowed to reopen, indoors, with 50% socially distanced crowds, but outdoor football stadiums haven't. Where is the consistency, and it's the inconsistency that fucks people off.

I love bristols ground probably my fave Away ground in the champ.
Properly thought out, not treated like a hooligan/knob,
Loads of choice when u there good beer as said can get a pizza or a coffee Itโs almost as if the club give a fuck about the fans experience and also try and maximise match day revenue.
Everyone knows itโs better queing 20 deep for botulism pies and crap ale like our ground as itโs more authentic but interesting to see a fresh approach like bristols

We'll done Malcolm you came across very well. Even though you had your Stoke top on back to front ๐ All makes no sense whatsoever especially the travel to and from the ground point. So it seems to centre around the door I enter the ground through and the reduced numbers. Still makes no sense to me. But thanks for flying the flag as usual ๐

So many inconsistencies
600 at Stafford Rangers yesterday and at FC United of Manchester (max Covid capacity). Small grounds with limited turnstile facilities.
So why cant 600 be allowed in each side of the Bet365? Surely that would be the equivalent?
I'm not complaining about people being allowed to go to Stafford btw, very happy to hear it.

Just too late, they seem to have taken it off (is it something you said? ) A Question...... I would particularly like to get Malcolm's thoughts on this (and others of course!), considering all the inconsistencies here (theatres, other venues), to what extent might the reluctance to lift restrictions on EFL fans in stadiums be anything to do with lazy stereotyping of football fans. I.e these lawless mobs who go to these kind of places cant be trusted to organise themselves properly therefore let's not invite the problem?

I.e these lawless mobs who go to these kind of places cant be trusted to organise themselves properly therefore let's not invite the problem? I would say that the lazy stereotype you refer to is probably the main reason why the restrictions have not been lifted. That and some sort of fear over larger numbers. I really think that fear though is being driven by full stadium numbers, particularly in the premier league. Weve seen though, that it's much easier to co tell crowds with for example a max of 1k per stand

I think you have hit the nail right on the head - lazy stereotyping is exactly what it is in my view, but of course they would never admit that. Informal indications suggest that this isn't the DCMS Ministers who are the ones responsible for sport, but comes from the top levels of Government.
