Do go out. But keep an eye out for any bits of virus knocking about. Go back to work. No schools though. Go outside more. But bigger fines. Drive literally anywhere in England if you fancy and have a sit down when you get there. Remember to be vigilant while you sunbathe on the other side of the country.

I’m not sure what’s been gained by relaxing the rules on going out for exercise. I think it will only lead to complacency and people exploiting any perceived grey area. I had a text from my mother 10 minutes after the speech saying it’s now fine for her to drive half an hour to our house and come walk our dog with us as long as she’s two metres away at all times. I told her not to.
There’s still nothing for people to do other than mingle out in parks, personally I think with with restrictions on travel relaxed it will just embolden people to make unnecessary journeys and basically take the piss.
My work supplies the building trade, most of customers and suppliers have been working throughout this. Advising that people who have been off to go back at short notice will work will be fine for some but a pain in the arse in terms of childcare for others. My last post is probably a bit callow and flippant, I’m sure they’ll clarify things further this week.
I was pissed off last night because I’m meant to be getting married in August and we both really want to delay it for as long as possible now. There’s no point in our eyes having the kind of wedding we want and are paying for if half the people we know can’t come. I can see us getting shafted by the venue at this rate, not allowing us to delay and forcing us to go through with it when we’ve got no control over anything. I had my fingers crossed for something along the lines of ‘don’t be stupid, keep this up’ followed immediately by something more detailed. But that’s my problem and selfish take on it!
Personally, I walk or run with the dog once a day and drive to work when there’s something to do. I’m not in a flap about what I should or shouldn’t do, I think it’s screamingly obvious that avoiding contact with others is still necessary. I do fear that without strong messaging people will start taking the piss soon and just stretch this out over a longer period of time.

Next season was due to start mid August.No elite sport in England before 1 June

If the Premier league thinks it can finish the season in 56 days, even if we started on 1st June, that would still take us beyond the start due for next season.
Surely it is time to bring this season to an end, and look towards how we can start [and when] next season?

I think they will try to delay the start of the new season as until at least Xmas ( and probably a bit after ) it will all be without spectators IMO.

why is everyone so obsessed with a season that hasn't started, that we can do what ever we need to with over the current season that's nearly finished?
Anyway, every day or so there is a new set of 'What they are planning on doing to football'.
Here is todays, (THIS IS ONLY TRAINING (So Far)) (according to BBC)
Tackling will be banned, pitches disinfected and players restricted to groups of five when the Premier League starts a first phase of team training.
Official protocols sent to players and managers on Tuesday and obtained by the BBC reveal that social distancing must be "strictly observed".
Corner-flags, balls, cones, goalposts and even playing surfaces will be disinfected after each session.
League bosses hope training can begin on Monday, restricted to 75 minutes.
There is more. Much more.
blah blah separation blah virus blah click here blah rules innit
You can probably just make it up yourself.
There will be a completly new scenario roughly this time Thurdsday.

I presume heading will be banned, also controlling the ball on the thigh.
Why are we even bothering.

I sarcastically suggested a couple of weeks ago that they'd have to ban walls at free kicks and coughing would be a bookable offence.
I was clearly not getting batshit crazy enough.
How about ventilator breaks instead of drinks breaks? Or ban running because it will make players sweat?
A serious prediction is that a player will drop dead on the pitch somewhere in the world. Then, and only then, the ****ing idiots will put people before money.
