Saturdays game crowd to be limited at 600 to test procedures etc

Big blow for Yeovil game. The inconsistency is staggering. 600 for OUTDOOR test event whilst the Crucible 980 permitted for INDOOR arena 980 CAPACITY test event. It’s who you know and not what you know.
Very dissatisfied at this. It’s not the clubs fault I’m well aware of that. Need Barry Hearn co-opting onto the board as honorary member.

600???
That's a complete and utter joke.

[rorysgrandad]

It does appear to be a club decision re 600 limit. I'm going to think before I say something I regret.

[Is this it?]

Those expressing their dissatisfaction with the way ticketing is being limited to 600 this Saturday might want to consider the regulatory requirements the members of the Board dealing with this are having to navigate.

Anyone who has had to consider how to manage spaces where the public can mix freely (I have), will be aware of the very significant logistical and regulatory demands associated with all that is involved; the fact that the match is played outdoors is a single part of a far larger set of criteria that will have had to be addressed (close contact at access points, toilets being cleaned etc.) and even including whether there will be an increase use of public transport.

Yes, it may not be ideal, but comparisons to the Crucible are, frankly, ridiculous.

Why?

[rorysgrandad]

Sat shoulder to shoulder indoors and unless they were all commodes toilet arrangements and people congregating together didn’t seem to be an issue. I fail to see how comparisons between the JDS and the crucible are ludicrous unless it’s the other way round. 980 people in a much larger arena and with entry permitted from different directions and turnstiles. No social distancing was even attempted at the crucible.

[Is this it?]

Because the crucible is fully seated and has better access points for starters.  And becasue the crowd had all had to prove they'd had a negative LFT to get in.

The advantage with fully seated arenas is obviously you’re able to socially distance the occupants. This didn’t happen at the crucible. It would appear covid is spread through your backside if sitting down instead of standing up solves the problem. Better access points funnelling down into a very limited viewing arena? Sorry to labour on this but I do think the JDS compares very favourably on this issue.
On the testing aspect, I’ve had both jabs and have the NHS app showing this. Test kits are available free of charge from chemists. This isn’t an insurmountable problem. 1231 for last 3 fixtures if the club can work it out.
We’ve taken a long time to gather new support at the club and now risk alienating hard earned progress.

Got our tickets this morning... can’t wait

[Alty Bri]

To be honest, the number of attendees is looking increasingly academic anyway, as it's still raining!
