Interesting to read that. It's pretty detailed.

I'd be surprised if the one the government produce next week isn't broadly similar because I cant see the UK and Ireland going about things that differently.

very detailed and I also agree with your second paragraph by the way, I can’t see us being widely different .

A cynic would also say copying it saves them some work!

Exactly. It says gyms open on the 10th August. That's 14 weeks away. How do you think that will affect peoples frame of mind?

I think a time frame with some sort of date helps. Even a far away date. At least theres a bit of light.

I was going to gym about 4 times a week prior to this. Now i go out a run about 4 times a week and do a few weights at home. To be honest I'm enjoying it more out running than i did in the gym. Obviously if it was the middle of January I maybe wouldnt say that, but getting out in the fresh air definitely helps clear my head.

Oh no, how will people cope without working their quads for 14 weeks!

Copy and paste, add one line, take one line out, change the date.

Done

That's defo one of the positives- I see lot more non typical gym type people out jogging or working out in the park. The free time/boredom can work for some.

Nope.

But even it was, I can think of loads of ways of keeping kit and exercising without a gym.

Don't get me wrong there's other ways to keep fit, I'm looking at small gym owners, self employed trainers, competitors, sports nutrition companies, the social interaction inside the gym, I think it will hurt a lot of people

You're right but look at my above post and it still affects people in different ways.

122000 tests carried out yesterday.

He did it

Like you the Government have got absolutely no shame.

Coronavirus: Target reached as UK tests pass 100,000 a day

A third of the government's 122,300 tests in 24 hours were sent in the post but not necessarily completed.

LOL.

Weirdly most people I know who go the gym dont really interact socially, I mean most of them just want to be left alone.

But fair points.

Merseyside has the best tap drinking water too. It's nowhere near as nice down here in Cornwall and we've started buying bottled water lately. Only use it for drinking cordial mind. We don't go through bottles of the stuff every week.

Water in the NW is quality but having been away for many years now I do find it weird being back in the NW when washing hands and getting rid of the soap takes an age. Harder water has some advantages.

I see the Irish rules would only allow sports leagues to restart on 20 july at the earliest.

If UK say similar then the PL will finally have to accept reality.

They could still technically do it in a month or less and just start next season abit later and finish late May or June next year.
