Depends on Tier

[hookender]

Wonder what tier Coventry will end up in. Could be allocated a ticket in the lottery and then banned the next week.

[NellyWellyWaspy]

Coventry will be either tier 2 or 3.

Rates are quite high, especially in North Coventry.

[DGP Wasp]

Would be a lot more transparent if they just put an infection rate figure each band, eg: Tier 3 >400/100K; Tier 2 >200/100K; Tier 1 <200/100K.  Can't help feeling that this might also lead to individuals feeling a greater level of personal responsibility to play their part in driving levels down locally and thereby allow greater freedom.

Coventry currently at 245/100K.  UK average somewhere around 200.

[MarleyWasp]

That's far too sensible DGP. Far more likely to be based on whether the MP is a friend of the government or not. My MP is Oliver Dowden so my borough will end up Tier 1. Coventry has 3 Labour MPs so will be Tier 2 or 3.

That's how Germany was/is working. As you say, everyone knows where they stand and what to expect rather than the rather arbitrary way its done here.

Here's the interactive Covid map: https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/interactive-map

If you enter the Ricoh postcode, CV6 6AQ, it gives you the details for the area, well above average.

CCFC fans presented with an opportunity to prevent an fans at the Ricoh?

So what if your home stadium is a tier 1 area so is allowed 4000 fans but you live in a tier 3 area? People will travel from tier 3 areas to watch matches in a stadium along with people from tier   1 and 2. Makes a bit of a mockery of it

Are not Tier 3 residents barred from travelling?

[Barneyhorse]

Venues restricted to 50%.
So a stadium of 8000 can have 4000 and the Ricoh 32000 is also 4000.
No logic in this other than keep it simple

I suppose the question that they're asking down in Gloucester is -- What does 4,000 people translate into in braying donkeys? 

Over in Barnet, if they had any games lined up, they'd probably be working out how to put 4,000 through the turnstiles while sneaking three-times that number through the coffee shop.

That map divides everywhere into council wards. The good news is that tiers will be calculated by borough/county as a whole as it makes it much easier for people to know which tier they are in and for the Police to enforce.

From what I can make out the collective rate across Coventry City Council's area is falling and it may even drop below 200 cases per 100k when tomorrow's figures are released.

Interesting that car park C is in Holbrooks that has a lower rate than the sdtadium itself which is in Longford!

And this is EXACTLY why it'll be the borough/County/Unitary authority as a whole and not the Council Ward.
