For what it is worth, Ben Ward, Ealing DoR said in the Ealing Trailfinder Times magazine that came out today that he expected Rugby in November or December.

I wonder what Saracens think about that?

This is all subject to prevention of a second wave, which is showing signs of getting bigger, now that holiday makers are coming back from the continent. There are still several areas in partial lock down and it is three weeks until schools go back and that will be the biggest threat to the spread of Covid. If it does not get too high then, yes December, otherwise we will be looking at waiting for the vaccine which will be in the new year.

Follow the stats and not the media.
Hospital admissions are falling to an all time low, the same as the tragic death rate.

Positive cases are rising as they are now sampling a much bigger proportion of a youthful population. 

We need to get back playing in November.

However should an overweight 50 something avoid the crowds if it’s the young getting it now.

I can’t wait to know my club is playing, even if I have to stay safe a bit longer.
The older I get, the more the RFU leave me confused.

It may be the young that our continuing to catch it but unfortunately , the problem is that clubs are managed and run by people much older, your gate man, your programme sellers, your officials and committee members. Clubhouses and bars are filled with these people after a game and are therefore at most risk. The young may catch it but it is the older generation who die.

I am also in the 50 odd and overweight bracket but I follow science. 

Since BLM and the really hot bank holiday our country restarted.
I have been to the Yorkshire Dales and the seaside and both were absolutely heaving with families, so my own feeling is that the government are secretly pushing the herd immunity.
With good social distancing, wearing of masks indoors and good hygiene the over 50s should not be worried about restarting life.

Would I go back and prop...no as that is far too hazardous at my age 😉

Spectators

Where it is anticipated that an activity will attract spectators, there should be a named person or persons with responsibility for ensuring adherence with these guidelines and ensuring the facility is COVID-19 Secure. The person should carry out and publish a risk assessment for the activity which limits the number of spectators and focuses on the need to maintain social distancing on arrival, for the duration of the activity, and on departure.

Arrangements should also be put in place to support test and trace efforts by collecting information from spectators which is detailed enough to allow NHS Test and Trace to contact them if necessary. See the maintaining records guidance for further information.


This is a bit worrying. Usually when I cut my grass I attract a number of spectators who want to engage me in conversation whilst they watch. Should I appoint my wife as my COVID-19 officer?

Hang about, let’s get important points sorted first. If your wife is COVID-19 Officer whose running the bar?

Bug*er I hadn't thought of that!

It would be nice, however I think you are being over-optimistic.

A touch too much expectation, I very much doubt it. The evidence suggests the distancing advice protects others, especially the elderly and at risk, particularly if you are infected but have not developed any symptoms.

Has anyone been out to the local shops, beauty spots or the coast lately?

This virus is currently racing around the country and adding around 500 players and coaches to the mix is not going to tip it over the edge. Obviously social distancing would have to be adhered to in the crowd but we really need to look at the math.

After all we are British - Math is very much a Northern American abbreviation of Mathematics. We cannot let our standards slip now Wink

With the latest announcement it looks like we will be lucky to have rugby in January!  The Ealing pre-season could be as long as the actual season.

Unfortunately, I think you may be correct.
