The government has announced a rescue package of £300m of emergency funding for sports impacted by the absence of spectators because of coronavirus.

 

Both rugby codes and horse racing are among the beneficiaries, but not clubs in football's Premier League nor the English Football League.

What the hell, why so much to rugby?

Massive news about crowds being allowed back in for the Football & National Leagues if they are in a Tier 1 or 2 area. This will really help the League 2, National, North & South leagues at least providing they are not in a hugely affected Covid area. Same goes for the women's leagues too

Very much welcoming news for the those leagues as well as League 1 and the women's leagues.

OTOH, the ban on spectators in Tier 3 areas appears to apply to “non-elite” leagues as well. That will mean that a lot of leagues below the National Leagues will struggle to resume next month.

I was looking into West Ham tickets for the United match (not that I have much chance of getting any) but can't seem to find any links to purchase any. So wonder if they're privately contacting season ticket holders...

Don't know how it works at West Ham, but sounds like they are opening up to Season ticket holders in the local area at all clubs first in the bigger clubs. I imagine there is an aligned approach to how the clubs are operating, as if the fans are already members/season ticket holders they can prove the live in the local area and are not traveling tjrough different Tiers etc.

 

Next year's TT races on the Isle of Man have been cancelled due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

 

 

The festival, worth about £30m to the Manx economy, brings tens of thousands of visitors each year. It had been due to take place from 29 May to 12 June.

 

Enterprise Minister Laurence Skelly said the "logical decision" to cancel the event for a second year was needed to protect residents and visitors.

 

That's not a good sign for the Euros nor the Olympics if we're seeing events due to take place in June cancelled!

Isn't it more that they don't want thousands of people descending on the Isle of Man?

 

I can see them shifting all the games in the Euros to one place and not asking fans to travel and for the Olympics, I suspect it will go ahead but there will be a reduced capacity at certain events. Because these events are ticketed too for the majority I suspect we will see the mandatory vaccine or having a covid test before hand before you are allowed entry..
