COVID hotspot? There are more cases per capita in Hull than Leeds?

Add to that we have had zero staff costs for a number of months and will continue to have reduced staff costs for the coming months. The article has no relevance to us, Leeds are an entirely different proposition, their costs are higher as they have a ground to maintain and they're losing out on significantly hospitality revenue, that's even without the significant sums they make hiring the facilities out during the week.

Match day prices for one adult and child are not far off £40.

Are you sure about that, the SMC saves money, but do we?

But it highlights the scale of the problem, some people on here (well one person) seem to think the financial difficulties are down to bad management, and Coronavirus should have been treated like any other seasonal 'flu.

And you can probably add a reduction in pass sales next year (it would have normally been a significant income stream in a couple of months time) of 2k, say, adding up to as much as £500k.

That’s not the point Mrs B. If the players remain in their bubble and all are coronavirus free then no matter of the amount of physical contact they’ll be ok. It’s going to a pub and being around others who are outside of their bubble and do not know whether they are carriers or not. Pubs have poor ventilation and those that have extractor fans, if there working, they were fitted when people were allowed to smoke inside, suck air to the outside and whilst doing so particles move freely through their draw. If your standing in line with the fans draw your going to get a lungful of all airborne viruses.
NRL have a strict bubble policy. Sadly, here in the UK we behave as though were all untouchable.

Are the NRL players all living together and not seeing their families through their season?.. Are they being banned from leaving their homes during 'off' time?

If not, then your argument is pointless. Fact is, unless you imprison the players together for the season's length, then there will always be a chance they will pick up the virus from somewhere.

Quote Airlie Street="Airlie Street"COVID hotspot? There are more cases per capita in Hull than Leeds?'" Sorry but your incorrect! Most of the current concern for places with high cases and looking at facing closure are in West Yorkshire. See https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/health/ ... es-2938878 And then there’s Manchester which isn’t that far away. If there in lockdown do you not think people won’t travel to other areas. This disease is very infectious we just seem to believe we are untouchable and even if some catch it it doesn’t seem to matter to some as the majority will only have mild symptoms but it’s those who are vulnerable we have to be mindful about.

The funding is a short term fix as it has to be repaid which just makes more problems further down the line.

Bumpy, the average attendance before lockdown was over 11k, excluding the derby.

The numbers game has never been your strong suit.

you`re right there plum bob,look what happened in a pub in aberdeen,27 contacts and now lock down in aberdeen again.
