Travel corridor suspended- europa game ?

[joseph]

With the news that from Monday all air travel corridors will be suspended and all passengers coming in to the UK will have to quarantine - will this affect our europa league game even though we are classed as elite sports - I’m concerned that we could be inadvertently become a victim and penalised by eufa

 

[Leif Erikson]

No

 

[schnauzer]

Elite sports still don’t have to quarantine (so long as they follow the rules).

It’s also UEFA.

 

[Withambear]

The team are covered by the “elite sports “ exemption so should be ok

 

[Main Stand]

No, absolutely not mate.

Elite sports are always exempt, I know it may be confusing sometimes but just remember that

 

[london_bluenose]

Not this again.

 

[frankie_dux]

Elite sports are different

Can’t believe some folk still don’t know this

 

[The Golden God]

This is 100% the new "Can Jelavic play in Europe" question.

Elite sports will always be okay unless the government suspends football.

Some still don't know Eufa isn't a thing either

Only if Aston Villa beat Rapid Vienna by 2 goals

 

[cooprfc]

The game will only be able to go ahead if Antwerp come here for some R&R and maybe bring a few injured players with them.

Why can't people get that elite sports are treated differently to public restrictions?

 

[giogaddi]

Honest to god.

 

[Gregco]

This is the new pay as you play

 

[MightyGersLand!]

Some still don't know Eufa isn't a thing either

You've a big mouth! Why don't Eufa Cup!

 

[Resident_hammy_bear]

No, even if one of our players need to travel back on their own on a public flight they dont need to either apparently...

 

[MightyGersLand!]

Why can't people get that elite sports are treated differently to public restrictions?

What worries me is that if everyone is in quarantine. How are the government going to decide when it's safe to go out, if they can't go out, to see if it's safe to go out.

 

[giogaddi]

Think the game is danger tomorrow? Been raining for the last 27 mins

 

[Stornowaybear]

Not this again.

Every. Single. Time.

 

[Shamrock hand and crown]

Im sorry, but we should not be travelling all over the place.Concentrate on number 55 ! Anything else must not get in the way.

Mr Joe, as others have stated, we will be flying under the elite sports rules so we are fine. We are not heading to Dubai for some R and R. However, game is not until 18th Feb so perhaps situation with regards to flight corridors will be relaxed by then anyway.

 

[Madjid Moments]

That’s

Im sorry, but we should not be travelling all over the place.
Concentrate on 55 .Anything else must not get in the way.
I would love to keep playing and go on and win the trophy. But nothing must come in the quest for 55.

That’s right we should just forfeit the chance for a huge income stream that will help us to be stronger on and off the field.

 

[TN8]

F*ck me.

 

[BlueBritain]

It was Robbie Savage.

 

[SG_Loyal]

The name Joseph and the inability to spell UEFA, raises suspicions!

 

[Arminius]

 

[joseph]

Just to clarify what I was getting at - does elite sports now under ALL TRAVEL CORRIDORS SUSPENDED - not the elite sports exemption corridor before before this NEW uk government decision.

Has it been confirmed that elite sports are still exempt or are we just assuming it is.

 

[Numanloyal]

Personally I think if any football is stopped it will be The European competitions

Predictive text feck up - and as for the good Christian name - it is in the same biblical term as a certain psalm that clearly defines us as the people

Elite sports and travel corridors are 2 different things.

We're unaffected.

Why would predictive text change to something that isn’t a word?

 

[Arkanoid]

Oh dear oh dear

 

[joseph]

Elite sport will be exempt from travel corridor closures​

The Champions League and Six Nations can take place, but Arsenal’s Europa League tie with Benfica is in doubt due to separate Portugal ban

It has been confirmed elite sport are exempt unless you are travelling to a country with a separate ban

 

[Kilsyth Unionist]

Dont worry, the league will be won by February.

 

[joseph]

And big fingers and hungover

 

[Wazza]

Who is it who sets the exemption? Presume the Government, bound to be one sooner or later who goes against it if this continues? The Telegraph were actually reporting Arsenal/Benfica hadn't been granted it last night.

Expect similar threads in the coming weeks.

 

[JW1988]

The one time I’m glad that footballers live in a different reality to us normies

 

[Rhblue]

Wow, another one, we’ve been to places that are on the banned list during our Euro campaign.
elite football is exempt.

 

[HamiltonBear]

Personally I think the bears should do an instructional film on how to deal with Covid protocols.

There may be some teams who need a bit of advice as to what good practices are.

Just saying...

 

[Remo-town]

You know something, for weeks now, if not months this forum has been the go to place for football being stopped.

Player from aston villa catches covid, null and void begins. Time we all calmed down to a panic. It's like the continual nightmare that is the match thread.

 

[Kirbys House]

Not enough question marks for my liking

 

[granda bob]

Wow, another one, we’ve been to places that are on the banned list during our Euro campaign.

it would appear some need reassuring.

 

[KirkieRanger]

You've a big mouth! Why don't Eufa Cup!

Just had to laugh at that. Clever.Or maybe just my sense of humour.

W.A.T.P.

 

[Hurricane Run]

Does anyone know if elite sports will be exempt?
