Agree. Would be interesting to know how many clubs' activities have recently been disrupted by the appearance of Covid among players / members. Would be astounded if there aren't any.

I agree - forget about a).
At amateur level, where creating "bubbles" is impossible, it's about minimising risk when bringing groups of strangers together. How this can be achieved responsibly is hard to envisage, especially in the "Generation Me" age we are living in.
All sport is essential not just for physical but also mental wellbeing, so it's incumbent on clubs to deliver as much activity as possible.

Today's news has Yorkshire having the joint highest Covid rate in the country. The long predicted Scummings Tsunami is now happening. Keep safe folks, and keep others safe by doing so.

I remember being young, invincible and immune to everything. (The only thing to change is I'm not young anymore.) As I've said elsewhere, the Dominic Scummings Tsunami is waiting just around the corner. Tick tock...

Reality is nobody knows anything, and politicians are engaged in point scoring over each other which is painfully obvious and counterproductive.
I've eaten out at local restaurants recently. They take your name and phone number in case someone also there tests positive, and you will be contacted to isolate yourself thereafter.
Will / should sports clubs be doing the same, given that you will be at the same venue as other strangers? Can't see the principle being any different.

What happens to the Cup competition block booking slot when league games in Jan/Feb are snowed/frozen off, as can happen north of the Watford Gap?

I'll be the first to say it. A lot of Moortown players will benefit from it. 😄
Good luck anyway.

Hardly an issue. My old club (Nat 1 level) issued an appeal for £40K and quickly raised that through member / sponsor donations and grants from Sport England etc. The only way to compete and survive above Level 4/5 is to pay players. Always has been, always will be. The amount of "wages" is nowhere near what many people may think either.

The Laphroaig distillery uses a similar scheme where you can "own" a square yard of the adjacent peat bog, and get a certificate to prove it 😄

I think a second wave ( or the Dominic Scummings Tsunami as it will be known) is inevitable given that nobody gives a toss about social distancing any more and we have a government relying on "common sense" as its primary guidance measure.

Meanwhile, in the absence of anything resembling clarity from our Beloved Supreme Leader, here is an explanation of the current rules and guidance. Everyone stay very Alert.

I seem to recall the mayor in Jaws was so concerned about the economy he told everyone it was safe to go back in the water.
Am trying to find out how to become a lert. Anyone know of any lerts I could copy?
