Cosford air show cancelled
I see that Cosford has cancelled the postponed 2021 air show in September, citing the rise in coronavirus cases as the reason.
Perhaps they should have held it in Wembley Stadium; no worries there about putting 60,000+ people in close proximity with each other. |
Exactly Sir, money talks, and there's tons sloshing around the Great Beautiful game of Footy! Still, there's always next year eh!!:}

That's not the tone of the official notification. If you're right the idea would be absurd and a PR disaster, there are no other RAF air shows. But then again, the grip on such matters by whoever advises the top rank, well it wouldn't surprise me in the least. Whether Government or any other August body, getting PR right is not their strong suit! Yet God knows they seem to place so much by it. FB |
Cancelled my tickets, I had them held over and over again, from the first cancellation.

well at 200 quid ish for a the most basic tickets for some of the Euro knockout stage games there certainly was a financial imperative behind keeping the euro games going, and there was also a requirement for mandatory antigen test <72 hours before attendance at some if not all games…how did Cosford compare with regard to ticket prices and testing protocol?

I also think it is remarkable that a member of SAGE is a paid up member of the British Communist Party. |
To be fair everyone who attends the games at Wembley has to either be double vaccinated or prove a recent negative Covid test prior to being allowed in.
In fact I am lead to believe that at an upcoming airshow, everyone over 11 years old will have to do the same. Double vaccination or negative Covid test. Maybe that is part of the reason that Cosford have cancelled (but I don't know). |
My two tickets were £61.80 apparently, as that is what the refund was, it was a couple of years ago i bought them.

Could you explain why that is relevant, let alone remarkable?

SWBKCB,
I'm terribly sorry if you think I'm guilty of thread drift, I imagine the response to your preceding post, and it, can both be seen that way. However, a question was asked of me, so I answered it, quite comprehensively I admit. What else would you have me do? FB |
If I understand correctly FB, you would have someone's technical opinion discounted because of their political affiliation and to expect non-economists to advise on economic matters.

To be honest, I think the Cosford Air Show team deserve credit for making this decision. There are already ominous signs of a rise in infections and, whilst large events are being trialled to try and establish any correlation with infection rates, how soon that data becomes available is a moot point.
However, it's the rise in infections that is the most concerning because if they continue to rise, then at some point, despite the commercial and financial pressures, some form of lockdown will, however politically unpalatable, have to be imposed. This is hypothesis of course, however, it would be very imprudent to organise the event and then suddenly find it couldn't happen as a result, plus the loss of revenue involved in the planning and preparation. By cancelling now, unfortunate though this maybe for the public, at least any cancellation costs can be kept to a minimum plus the public are saved from any sudden surprises. There's always next year. |

The past 18 months has shown a wider audience that the science community is contaminated with politics, in-fighting and silencing. Some very respected journals have done nothing short of full on hatchet jobs of some individuals who don't toe the line. Same with Global Warming. As for cancelling Cosford, this smacks of arse covering, nothing more. |
