If I was selling the first game back, it would be free to this seasons, season-ticket holders, and a fiver for walk-ons. Money will be tight, and habits will have changed. Prices should be tempting to get people back to Ewood.

It might be lucky for us that we have already had practice of going through that collapse

Which other leagues?

The tests just say if you have got it or not. Which in turn indicates if you are likely to infect someone else. They don’t make the individual any safer.

Tests don’t make you any safer.

If the last item is taken up, it will show that the decision makers have never played football at any level

I now have a stream. From what I have seen there is not much pressing or tackling going on

I can’t get a stream, what is the game like?

The company Rovers have flown with in the past are still operating, with aircraft that are carrying up to 40 passengers within social distancing rules.

Fine, they are looking after their own interests. It is better than head in the sand leadership.

They have shown leadership and made a decision. Whether it’s a good one,we will have to wait and see.

Because they think it isn’t going to be safe for a long time

Personally I will not be taking a vaccine for something that might have no physical effect on me, until at least one year of trials for side-effects have been carried out. Remember Thalidomide.

If there is a vaccine available in September, it hasn’t been tested properly.

Rather than have that document, I would have one that says you are welcome to not play, but you will be put on furlough.

I remember bad ones at Whitebirk

The more I drink, the more I miss the Rovers

Personally I would think that the thing most effected by lack of home fans, will be the decisions made by the officials. But this would be hard to quantify, because as we know officials are not influenced by the crowd.

It depends what the controlled conditions are and how they effect the playing of the game.

OK, but I must admit I am not a believer in "better than nothing". If something is sub standard, I will not watch it. That is why I will be interested to see how the German games go. I will not be watching, but I am interested in the performances.

If as you state things get worse and there is no foreseeable future for football, what is the point of finishing this season and risking the players?

I was replying to Mattyblue. PS. what is WWE ?

So as I stated, a perfect game to judge the commitment of the players. What point where you trying to make?

Dortmund v Shalke, a derby involving two good sides, this is a great game to see if there is any passion in the players without fans.

We could do with one.
