corona virus & NRL

[no1bulldog]

Talking to a mate who supplies stuff to some of the stadiums and there's apparently talk of Corona impacting crowds if reported cases go up in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and they are watching what is happening in the SL with interest

I'm out in the sticks so maybe im sheltered, besides everyone buying shit paper surely unless things really go to shit it wont impact the footy?

Depends on how sensible and cooperative people can be. If selfishness keeps growing than authorities will have little choice but to lock things down. People need to just be sensible, wash hands properly, stay informed about the disease, and be generous with each other.

Just the excuse the NRL will use... crowds are going to be down regardless

No one will ever get coronavirus at ANZ stadium

 

[Vlasnik]

I'm going to our game Vs Parra so in the interest of hygiene and all concerned please do not steal the toilet paper from public rest rooms, that is all

The arnold weightlifting comp just happened with no fans allowed in and apparently the bahrain grand prix will go ahead also with no fans

I'm a bit worried about magic round. I booked (& paid) for everything early. Can probably cancel accommodation, but you just know the nrl wont cancel this cash cow. Toddy will probably offer team themed face masks at the gate

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

It could work in our favour. Hopefully every other team gets it bar our boys and that can give us a real shot at winning a comp

Sick of hearing about it to be honest, that’s all the news pages an articles are full of now.. yes it sucks and very unfortunate. But it’s just world wide media panic..!! I mean fighting over toilet paper?

be clean, wash your hands. Being hygienic at least helps and anyway with or without this it should be a given.

The nrlol is already suffering a virus, the greenturd virus.

The crowds will definitely be down, not that you'll notice considering ANZ is always 80% empty anyway.

And if they did they're almost in a quarantine situation anyway given the vacant seats available.

ANZ on game day is a place I go to when I need my personal space. It's one of the few remaining places in this world you can go to be alone.

Corona virus is impacting heaps of stuff already. People are already going out less especially in the city. I can't see this getting better before it gets much worse.

Yup. Was out in the city last night and looked for tumbleweed before crossing the road. Dead - even for Sunday. Went for a drink after dinner - the bar was closing earlier than normal and the bloke at the bar said they’d done ‘maybe 50% of our usual Sunday trade at best’.

 

[doggieaaron]

My mate has a cruise booked theyve offered $300 not to cancel

Peeps are buying sleeping bags...is it covid exploding houses now?

Maybe to store their toilet paper in....

the Bahrain gp always had no crowds

So one would expect the viewing/streaming numbers to be up, if physical attendee crowds are down.
Let's see.
