    How can it be fair for a clubs in T1 or T2 areas to have fans in the ground supporting the club but Clubs in T3 areas can't that creates unfairness in the competition.

    Maybe so, but fans have been bleating to be let back in. They are now being so, and people will still find fault.

    Won't make a difference to most clubs finances, there will still be no pay on the gate fans for the majority.

    Just been on Calendar, that clubs that reside in a Tier 3 area won't be permitted to allow
    any fans to attend games. Sadly, it looks increasingly likely that West and South
    Yorkshire could well still be in Tier 3 from the 3rd December, so our excitement at being
    able to return to Oakwell, could be short lived.

    2000 in a huge stadium will make some Tuesday night league cup games seem like our Wembley play off final for atmosphere.

    Our Lockdown record.
    P21 W9 D7 L5 F23 A18 Pts 34 (74.5 over a season)

    Home
    P10 W5 D4 L1 F11 A3 (8 clean sheets)
    Away
    P11 W4 D3 L4 F12 A15

    Any chance you can keep Oakwell closed? The home crowd makes them nervous.

    I can't wait to get back and give our new manager and players a proper welcome. Bet it will feel weird for the players having a crowd again.

    1,000 people allowed inside the tiny 2300 capacity Apollo Victoria in London. Pretty much 1 in every 2 seats used with social distancing of approximately 1 foot between patrons sat for a couple of hours indoors.

    4,000 people allowed in the open air 90,000 seater Wembley.

    Aye, makes a load of sense.
