There’s been plenty of singing at premier league games this weekend.

Why did clubs seem to put 2000 in the one area of the ground? That struck me as odd, not too much inside but I saw queues outside spurs where folk seemed to be queuing very close together for a health check.

Not an expert on this sort of stuff but grounds usually need X number of stewards per area open I believe, so spreading 2,000 fans out across four stands would require far more staff and in turn might be counter productive (and expensive)? Not 100% sure though.

How will social distancing be policed at the ground? I've been watching alty TV and if 3 guys standing in front of the community hall can't social distance,  then how will stewards be able to keep fans at 2 meters?

There has already been a trial run when Altrincham Ladies(women) hosted Northwich Vixens in the Women's FA Cup earlier in the season. There was about 100 people in the ground and everyone seemed to be social distancing.

it’s all a bit of a farce isn’t it? On 16 December the stats will clearly show Manchester should be tier 2 and London tier 3. Hands up who believes that’s going to happen.

Was there not a couple of games called off earlier on in the season  because of players contracting convid-19?
My concern is that the main stand is too small to host fans as I am sure that will be used for playing staff etc?
That leaves the family stand and I am genuinely concerned that fans will not keep to the social distancing as they will in all honesty pull their masks down when shouting and will migrate to their mates and the stewards will have to be up for the job in keeping them in their designated seats. Both stands are too small and seats packed to close together and if there is a 1,000 fans in the family stand and fans don't keep to the rules there will be a another outbreak.
Maybe a smaller number say 500 would be more manageable? I do hope everything will go well when we are allowed back in but I am concerned at how small the stands are and stewards wont be trained to deal with the social distancing or making sure fans keep their masks on.

Taken from the article linked in this thread.

Also, we will be dividing the ground into separate sections, and there will be no access between different parts of the ground. There will be access to The Chequers End, the Family Stand and the top half of the Popular Side; access to the Catax Golf Road End and the opposite end of the Pop Side and access to the Main Stand each with their own separate exits and entrances.

We will also look to be staggering arrival times to allow for safe entry to the ground for each cohort of fans.

Each stand will have its own specified capacity for social distancing purposes and fans cannot move between them.

No one is forced to go, if your not comfortable with the arrangements stay at home and watch the stream.

How do you access hospital capacity and occupancy statistics?

Precisely my intention.

Hospital capacity 85% November 2020 very similar to last year. Freedom of information exists in this day and age. These widely reported figures have been put to the government and not challenged by them. They agree. Ask hospital staff if you know any at Wythenshawe or any other local hospitals and they’ll tell you about only about 15% wiggle room and their concerns EVERY year not just this year.

Seems like a calm informative post to me. 😀 😀 😀

I don't think we should assume that streaming will continue to be available when fans return.

[Bath Alty]

It’s not an assumption. Bill told us it will be available so shielding fans and away fans can watch the game

[Sale Holmfield]

Trafford 96 per 100k.

It's coming to Dagenham first,though. 303 per 100k and rising in Barking and Dagenham. (that's for the 7 day period ending 3rd December, so it may be higher now).
