Peeping through the PSL bio-bubble keyhole, Gomolemo Motshwane spots some intresting tidbits on how the 'new normal' is affecting players, fans and the fourth estate.
Before the PSL was granted permission to resume games, the organisation made a number of health safety assurances to government. It reassured the authorities that all games would be played behind closed doors and that clubs would follow stringent lockdown protocols.There is no booming sound system or the crescendo of fans trickling into the facilities, and no smell of food being prepared by street vendors. Nothing!People walk past the stadiums, mostly oblivious to the game under way inside.
Although no fans are allowed into the grounds, the EMS officers are not taking any chances and have brought a full staff complement as they normally do. A club official, who asked not be identified in respect of the protocols, explains the process: “Everyone who arrives at the stadium must produce an accreditation card to prove who they are. Without it, you can’t get in.”
Moss Moraka , of Atteridgeville in Pretoria, is one such supporter. The Mamelodi Sundowns fan finds it ironic that he cannot watch his team play, despite living a block away from Lucas Moripe Stadium.
