    So did Leeds. Must be a Yorkshire thing. I really want to go back up and be the ones to relegate Leeds.

    When it comes to Leeds, nothing beats the 2006 play off final.

    We'd do exactly the same thing if the situation was reversed. It's just what football fans do. I left that game before the players came back out, (one of my pet hates), and was one of just a few Watford fans walking past the Sheffield coaches in Vicarage Road. Their fans were all very chatty and congratulating us on promotion without a single mention of what had just happened. One bloke shook my hand and he had the largest hands I've ever seen before or since! Very much like any Leeds fans I met in Cardiff after we beat them in the playoff final when we stayed for the evening.

    I think you lot need to mix more.

    So no fans again this season, assuming we cruise to the title.

    Be pretty good to welcome back fans' on our return to the elite. An away game at Man City.

    I wonder whether as a precaution away fans won't be permitted next season.

    Why? All adults will have been vaccinated by then (assuming they choose to be). Unless there are some rampant new variants (and that would affect home fans too), then I can't think of a reason to prohibit them.

    Is that specifically for our game at Manchester City? Probably wise, we have suffered enough.

    From 17th May according to Boris, just in time for the play off final

    I think it’s max 10,000 fans for any capacity over 40,000 - once you exclude those going into club Wembley probably 4,000 for us ?

    I doubt Ticketmaster can cope with selling 4,000 tickets.

    Leeds and Sheff Wed, much like minature versions of Leicester, always find greater delight in other teams doing poorly than themselves doing well.

    Huh? I've mingled with plenty of fans, especially at away games and had no problem, just found their reaction to the goal odd. I don't think I'd of celebrated like that unless it was a rival or someone like Palace.

    I was reading that today for the snooker final that the Crucible will have a capacity crowd. The theatre holds just under 1000, having been there before I can say that it is quite cramped in there wrt social distancing.

    Talk about madness they allow 1000 in such a small space, but only allowed 8000 in WEMBLEY STADIUM :rolleyes:

    They did - think they all had masks on and tested but be interesting to see if anything comes out of it.

    Was the non league finals yesterday - sure they could have had some crowds.

    Maybe they don’t trust football fans enough ?

    The Man U situation won’t have helped.

    I think the upcoming non-league finals day (the 2021 version) will have crowds. Not sure how many allowed though.

    Surely, based on the governments road map, if theatres are back by August and events like Glyndebourne, Wimbledon and Goodwood go ahead. There wont be a problem with a full house of people sat outside to watch football?
