risk assessed plan


Key words mate. I don't think anyone believes that decisions down south are being made based on that, which imo influences behaviour in Scotland towards support for more caution.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Then you're wrong

It's all based on risk assessment
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't think the general public believes that anything other than economics is driving policy at the moment
----------------------------------------------------------------------



That’s what risk assessment is.

I give up
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I would like to have thought a public health risk assessment would consider significantly more than just economics. In fact I would have thought economics would be a secondary consideration.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Mate.

Risk assessment is simply avoiding an outcome depending upon what the cost is.

e.g. we use traffic lights and zebra crossings to go over a road. Despite that some people are killed every year because they either ignore them or don’t concentrate enough be they the pedestrian or the driver.

The easy answer is to construct underpasses everywhere there’s a road crossing.

Why don’t we do that?

Cost.

That’s exactly what risk assessment is.

The Dutch are planning to allow fans back to the games soon.

1.5m distancing and no singing or chanting.

Sounds great....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Aye they don’t want to clog the place up

So you now recognise that countries are considering allowing fans in?

Wide open fresh air spaces - no fans in Scotland.

Rationalise that

I've never not recognised it

Unlike you I do my research, which extends beyond reading the Daily Mail and Telegraph

Don't read either of those rags

And trust me I've done so much research on risk assessment. Do it every day

That's the training gear available for pre-order and the website has crashed already

JD have it as well, the white training stuff is lovely but imagine it'll be 1 wear then fulla mad dog and in the bin, oh well, ordered anyway
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It's my eldests birthday in a few weeks so he has asked for pretty much the full catalogue
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All the NB gear binned already?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

He's not had it off. Honestly he thinks he is the bees knees strutting around in a different polo top, jumper or trackie bottoms.

Going a walk? NB gear on, back in and chillling, different gear on

Of anything, football fans should be using this crisis to their advantage.

Demand a better match day experience.. food delivered to seats etc rather than being herded into ridiculous queues for minging pies. For countries that use VAR.. play music and have fan cams etc whilst the decision is being screwed up by the officials (Assuming it's in England).

American sports tend to be a bit crap to watch, but they really know how to cater to their supporters. About time we did so here too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Right

So when football is about to be plunged into its darkest financial days you think this is possible?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How difficult is it too play some music for a few seconds, or deliver food to seats instead of expecting fans to queue?

Doesn't require too many extra staff, and fans will likely buy more as they don't have to juggle it all the way back to their seat.

So you think offering fans a better experience is impossible for football?

Just seems odd that America has absolutely no issues with it despite many of their arenas and stadia being smaller in size.

Football fans are offered a shocking service for the price we pay. Clubs could make so much more money on match days by actually catering to fans and making it easier to buy food, drink, and matchday souvenirs.

David Murray said as much tears ago. Something along the lines of wanting halftime extended by five minutes would increase revenue by 10k
