They cant say like 3 days before season due to start to say you can now start selling season tickets. They cost the club enough in lost revenue unless lucky enough let supporters in earlier on in last season. It’s not three days before the start of the season though is it? It’s six weeks and they have never said the club can’t sell season tickets. The club aren’t awaiting approval to sell season tickets, they’re awaiting a decision on maximum attendances. I suspect the point you’re trying to make is asking when maximum attendances will be announced. I would guess something like early/mid July or in-line with the decisions on relaxing other restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockdowns and restrictions were to protect the NHS and the most vulnerable. We've had freedom day for the 21st June, now it's terminus day for the 19th July, I can't wait to see what they label the 16th August. In our house, we will be calling it "Our Silver Wedding Anniversary"! Not very catchy, or even original, but we like it! ?

They said they are waiting for "...further information on the UK Government’s plans regarding Step 4 of its roadmap out of lockdown..." They can sell season tickets right now, if they want. It's just that right now, they don't know whether they'll be in a position to honour the tickets, or start faffing around with refunds again!

We can be incredibly grateful for them exposing themselves to a far greater risk than the rest of us more fortunate ones but that shouldn’t exempt anyone from having to take precautions to help protect the vulnerable people they have to come into contact.

Agree, there is already a requirement of employers to ensure their staff have the Flu jab working in that sector, its no different really.

Yep the general public can be incredibly grateful for their selflessness, then demonise them and put them out of work if they for whatever reason don’t comply,?♂️ best of luck staffing an already hugely understaffed sector , that won’t impact on health and well-being of the elderly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the one hand it makes sense to have frontline healthcare workers jabbed but on the other hand why stop at the covid jab? Flu kills tens of thousands most years and I am sure there are other transmissable diseases that could be prevented as well. Furthermore you are demanding people get vaccinated, which is not only outright wrong imo but also illegal - the caveat of course is there are other jobs available therefore circumnavigating the law, but as @Archied said this sector is understaffed already and a lot of care workers aren't to keen about getting jabbed. Lets hope this does not lead to a further lack of care for the elderly. https://www.lshtm.ac.uk/newsevents/news/2021/covid-19-vaccine-refusal-higher-among-health-and-social-care-workers-who-feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 58 minutes ago, Archied said: Flu jab mandatory for care workers? As you imply, it's not - although all the professional bodies in the sector strongly recommend flu vaccines for all health workers, it is not mandated. Of course, if the Covid-19 vaccination is to be mandated, then it is quite likely that influenza vaccination will follow. Hepatitis vaccination IS mandatory in the sector, but of course that's not something that rolls out a new strain or variant at the drop of a hat.

I am swaying towards agreeing with you for frontline medical staff tbh - however I would be concerned about vaccination creep (flu etc), putting pressure on an already understaffed sector and it spreading to other industries resulting in mandatory vaccination via the backdoor. Nothing is ever easy is it ? i-Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
