Pilot Games - Cambridge United

[Worcestershire White]

Reckon League Match Day 3 will be the first games across the board to be allowed.

Will be October and I dont believe away fans will get in for a long time; pity that because I prefer aways

 

[Greenacres]

...mind, an open air even does seem inherently safer than some of the other things allowed now of course.

Yeah, like going to the pub!

 

[SVH]

Well this escalated quickly.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Well this escalated quickly.

But at a decent social distance.

26th September. Vale v Harrogate.

Our first game with fans, apparently.

 

[Greenacres]

Paid for my season ticket last week and the lady who sorted it out for me said that our club is hoping to admit fans sometime in October...which would be fantastic. I hope the trial at Cambridge is a success.

I thought it would be the home game after against carlise

Is the rule now that you've got to wait to play us before fans are allowed in?

 

[valefan16]

I think all teams need to do one trial game beforehand at an even lower attendance.

A mate knows a copper at work who apparently had an email about it stating that game would be the first with fans.

Fingers crossed all goes well at Cambridge. October seems to be the plan for getting fans back but think it also depends on the local coronavirus R rate in the area.

Unfortunately the Wirral’s R rate is increasing fairly quickly which might slow us down for getting fans back in at Prenton Park.

 

[Chris FGR]

State of this fucking country. Can't even say BAN ALL THE ASIANS without being labelled a racist.

Well tbf the corona is all the Asians fault apparently, I mean why else would it get called 'The Chinese Virus' by respected scientific/medical experts like Dr Donald J Trump and Dr Michael R Pompeo?

 

[Chris FGR]

Btw 2500 seems a lot.

Are there really that many pilots living in Cambridge? Or will some be bussed in?

 

[SVH]

We didn't but with all that London lot fleeing the city we now have an influx of pilots, albeit Ryanair ones.

 

[Greenacres]

Hastings United play their games at The Pilot Field...perhaps that would have been a more suitable venue!

 

[Robshep]

These days you get arrested and thrown in jail if you say you're English, don't you?

Stewart Lee fan?

 

[Robshep]

Yep. I'm livid mate. They know we're missing the footy and quite a few will not think twice about the harm this farce of a cup will be causing to all our beloved lower league clubs in the future. Some U's fans on our forum are already justifying going to the Norwich match because 'the club needs money at this time'. FFS.

Luckily our game against Liverpool under 21s is behind closed doors and prevents thousands of telly clappers getting their once a year chance to see a real game.

Several pubs have been closed this week after staff tested positive and staff in at least two nursing homes as well. Think we might be heading the way of Greater Manchester. Strangely we have quite a small asian population so it must be down to the amount of people who think it doesnt affect them.

Not possible. Only Asian people spread the virus.

 

[BlackHaddock]

Despite my user name I am neither Black nor a Haddock, but actually an Asian Pilot. I should therefore be asked to attend every Pilot game free of charge.

 

[masi51]

First that Wisbech fan and now this clown.

Then there's that Bolton fan, who while not a racist afaic, comes up with loads of shit and people bite.

All three chaps are new members. Make of that what you will but I think it's only a ploy to drive up traffic on this site. Just like the supposedly forthcoming prediction leagues with prizes for the winners. Yeah right.

at least you never branded me racist....

If you’ve been, you’ll know our ground is pretty close to an airport so 2,500 pilots isn’t totally unfeasible.

We Stanstead corrected!!!

 

[valefan16]

Can’t see fans back anytime soon now after tonight’s announcement.

 

[Dan Phillips]

Scaremongering shite. Embarrassing how it’s been handled.

 

[shoddycollins]

All seems a bit pointless. Limiting social gatherings when people weren't at work or school and shops and pubs were closed made sense. Now it just seems like they're desperate to be seen to be doing something.

 

[hellogregory]

Fuck sake!!!

 

[SVH]

Only 850 odd for the EFL game last night but overall a great success. Extremely well organised, kept bubbles apart and all had to wear a mask.

It is, you can go pub but can't go football outdoors! They are even on about now an instant covid test which gives you a 24 hour pass to go football or theatre etc! Ask Boris if we can go down the Vale...

 

[Son of Cod]

Pretty sure I heard/read that they're going to announce more details at 5pm regarding sport, but I'm not sure if they're talking about exercise and playing team sports or if they're talking about attending events.
