Fans allowed back on 20:39 - Nov 27 by isitme | It said in the notes that Pennie Trust and Manchester University Hospitals had a high number of patients, but I suppose they always do considering the areas they serve. What is probably a more accurate measure is demand above the usual. We do have a Nightingale hospital (presumably sitting empty) for 'Covid patients'. |

He’s probably using some artistic licence and lumping in the cost of going ticketless as being a covid safe measure - that would add a few quid to the numbers. | ![](/images/avatars/2229.gif) |

Apparently around £50k should do the trick.....or maybe he's been really forward thinking in all this and bought a shit load of vaccines for anyone wanting to enter the stadium. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

In that interview earlier in the thread it sounds like the club will announce the plans in advance of that date, so if the tiers do change we will all know what the situation is re. tickets available and how it’ll be managed on the day. | ![](/images/avatars/1212.gif) |

It is incompetence. If you pay for services and fail to send the patients ........ shocking incompetence of the local management teams. You can't blame the private hospitals who will have blocked out their capacity. During the initial wave of the pandemic the private patients couldn't get access to the hospitals that they pay hundreds of pounds a month for in insurance premiums as the Govt requisitioned them. Its a two way street | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I am pretty sure shareholders in these companies will support a wide range of political parties or maybe even none at all. If you think it through, if you are buying space at private hospitals they cannot then treat any/as many private patients. Obviously they will be paid for this, even if not all the paid for capacity is used. If you book Manchester Central for an event you don't get money back if not as many people attend as you expect. | ![](/images/avatars/1081.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Yes it was incompetence by the Government, and there was a shortage of capacity and staff due to all of the cuts over the past 10 years, more incompetence. The private health sector benefited due to those cuts in the public sector, its a false economy to cut the public sectors due to the higher costs then to use the private sectors when capacity is too low in the public sector, total incompetence. Many MPs who were part of the decision making of the last 10 years to cut the NHS, have been found to have been shareholders of these private health companies that have benefited from this. | ![](/images/avatars/23268.gif) |

Who are these shareholders? Nuffield and BUPA are two of the biggest and they are not for profit businesses. Nuffield is a charity and BUPA is a member business and the only investors are bond holders that have lent them money for capital investment. There are no shareholders and no dividends are paid as far as I know | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Yes, I’d like to see who these MP’s are as well. I’d also like to know the year the last time the NHS budget was cut? | ![](/images/avatars/1172.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

There will be profit being made somewhere, in this so called not for profit organisations, and their will be some , non employees making decent money out of them. People who invest in private businesses will want to make money out of them, at some stage, unless of course they are investing in their local football club or similar and just want to support it. And these organisations are set up as so called charities so they can enjoy vat exemptions and any other perks afforded to companies with charitable statuses, as in the educational sectors with so called charity schools. | ![](/images/avatars/23268.gif) |

All in public records. The cut, in the sense that rises haven’t matched inflation. | ![](/images/avatars/23268.gif) |
