Increased activity outside IAW …..

[mjh]

It's well written but clearly WG are intent on not budging. It's only one facility compared to the many around the UK. It's on an arbitrary list and they're not going to begin making further exceptions at present. Our only hope is they see this as a good PR exercise and look to capitalise on the vaccine progress here in Wales. Perfectly legitimate to lobby WG and Mr Drakeford. Nothing disrespectful about that and holding politicians to account. Saw that in the interesting singing example above...

It's made Walesonline.

I've been tagging them, BBC Wales, ITV Wales and Drakeford in the Petition on twitter. Seems WOL have paid a bit of attention

Well done Wales on Line. Good coverage.

 

[Welshwiz]

I contacted Paul Abbandonato Head of Sport Wales on Line when we started the petition. That and the other guys efforts seem to have worked. Now we need BBC Wales radio and TV to kick in. Don't think ITV Wales are anything in local media anymore.

 

[ryanxglenton]

Just seen we're well over 3500 signatures on the petition. Great to see and hopefully we'll get more coverage in the next few days.

60000 now allowed into Wembley for the euros with proof of vaccination or negative test result, but we can't get something similar for IAW a couple of months hence. Crazy.

Who's organising it?

Can they DM me please.

Also, Scotland aiming to reduce almost all restrictions from August 8th, however indoor restrictions will be reduced to 1 metre. I would expect us to do something similar.

 

[Wannabe2]

1 metre between fans is at least one seat that’s a 50% reduction which won’t work for us and most other teams.

Surely if you have a 100% vaccinated crowd that mitigates the need for even 1 metre separation. Our am I not understanding something?

 

[Wannabe2]

I’m only answering Matburs post mate, I’m with you obviously.

I thought so, but easy to get confused on some of these threads.

In any normal world, yes, you’d think so. Utter madness.

 

[Earnie]

I am being a little pedantic here - say ones nose and mouth is level within the
middle of one seat. The distance to the middle of the adjoining seat must be close to a metre?

It’s been a bit of a theme throughout the pandemic - more often than not, we copy Scotland, only about 3 weeks later….you might be right here, which would be a disaster for the Devils.

If it ain’t, every other person will have to spend all night facing side wards which won’t be clever. Unless a pretty girl is sat next to you.

This is really where all the UK clubs need to come together in their response to this. Devolution is a nightmare for a UK-wide sport. What we need to discuss is, where other requirements are impractical, what compensating controls can be implemented to reduce the risk to something the authorities, the clubs, and the fans can live with. I would seriously interested to know what the quantifiable level of risk is if all attendees are fully vaccinated and wearing masks.

 

[Wannabe2]

Lots of our fans are children who won’t be vaccinated, or young adults what do we do with them.???

We're supposed to be on track for all adults to be vaccinated. Some environments seem to be offering certain tests as an alternative. I suspect that there may be no easy answer though.

Babysitters ?

Would be well pleased if I was 17 and a season ticket holder but couldn’t go in.
