I like designing formations and i think lot. I like designing formations and ithink im lot. I like designing formations and i think im quite good at it. Hello, and welcome to sportsday. Theres been cautious optimism following the governments announcement that grassroots sport will be allowed to resume across all tiers in england from the 2nd of december. Gyms and leisure centres will also be able to reopen across all tiers, benefiting the health and well being of people across the whole of england. Earlier, i spoke to former Paralympic Champion baroness tanni grey thompson, whos the chair of grassroots body uk active and asked her about the decision. Its usually positive and its a real shift to government policy. This is about people opossum Mental Health and well being as well as their physical health. We know him in first lockdown that peoples physical activity dropped by about 70 and that was only had a fairly decent sprinkles upgrades are people out walking on their bikes who would never been on them before. But going into the winter months provides a lot of challenges for individuals in terms of maintaining their physical health and mental well being. Terms of maintaining their physical health and mental wellbeing. And of course not just gyms health and mental wellbeing. And of course notjust gyms and leisure centres but Outdoor Sports as well after early for children i would assume you would feel this will be beneficial. Its really important. When of this year children and missed at least 23 weeks of school and the pe lessons in afterschool activities that come with that. Already we have a generation of people who are the fittest in class today 30 years ago will be the least finished. Important as a government really thinks the whole strategy of physical activity to take a really long term look at this. This has come following a great deal of work from the likes of yourself. Can you give us a bit of detail into what has been done behind the scenes to make this happen . Is a huge amount of meetings and council dating with chief of medical officers and ringing and got into the sector which covered ventilation, track and trace, physical distance, equipment and hygiene. Really high standards we re and hygiene. Really high standards were brought in. 0bviously and hygiene. Really high standards were brought in. Obviously its been amazing to see the petition were 600,000 people signed and there is a debate currently where the house of commons and the challenges we have got half of the sector, they will help to some extent but it was not tailored to the sectors we ask government to keep looking at the sector and protected going forward. But public leisure centres did not open with the first lockdown ending and that also could have a long term impact on people being active. All right, thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us, thank you. Thank you. The Prime Minister, borisjohnson, also said that leisure centres would be opened across all tiers, which is good news for swimmers. Double gold medallist Rebecca Adlington believes it is a decision that will help thousands across england. Especially from a mental aspect as well. If you are injured or pregnant or anything else can be can go and it is exercise that is so good for you. People are doing rehab as well or injured in any way, really good for you. More so then you were in your own for you. More so then you were in your own space, for you. More so then you were in your own space, we for you. More so then you were in your own space, we know that chlorinated water is safe as well. So if you are worried about from a covid 19 element, that will protect you. I think his wealth book in your slot, so you feel really safe when you are there and really secure so i think that naturally put you at ease. You are then able tojust think that naturally put you at ease. You are then able to just have your bit a pc you need to to swim, to exercise but also to mentally have that space as well. Because its hard now. The weather is horrible and you dont want to go out for a run if you did in the summer. Out for a run if you did in the summer. Its very different outside iiow. Summer. Its very different outside now. We are not all trying to be as active now that its winter, now that its cold, its wet, its raining, is horrible. We cannot do things to do summer. Thats dealt with grassroots sport, so what about elite . Well, amongst the announcements, its been decided that some outdoor crowds will be able to return across all sports, with a few crucial conditions. Clubs in tieri will be able to have spectators of up to 4000, or 50 of the stadiums capacity. In tier 2, its a maximum of 2000 or 50 capacity. And in tier 3, no crowds will be permitted. Heres what scott priestnall, chairman of National LeagueFootball Club yeovil town, makes of the decision. My my reaction is one that its fantastic news. I think supporters returning for football is extremely positive. It will be great for community spirit. People who have been away from sporting events for a long time can get back to things they enjoy and it gives you that little bit of hope. And happiness to get back to doing the things you enjoy after such a sort of dark time really. So its fantastic news. Great news overall but is there some more for some clubs it might not be worth opening up the stadiums again and paying the staff when they are only going to get perhaps 2000 fans or half capacity . Absolutely. There isa or half capacity . Absolutely. There is a commerciality to this of course which we will put all Football Clubs ata which we will put all Football Clubs at a loss. We are probably fairly close to that. A lot of the damage left not forget has been done already. Certainly from a commerciality point of view, lost reve nu es commerciality point of view, lost revenues from stands, sponsorships, advertising boards, shared sponsorships, things like that that wouldve been gained from a season through october have honestly not happen. There is a huge loss for the season that will be carried through this season and i think we just got to try to manage that. Difficult circumstances for all businesses and just try and get the feel good factor back into football first and foremost. You touched on it there. Spoke a lot about some clubs that are in severe difficulties because of covid i9. Do you feel that this announcement to be the difference between them surviving or not . Absolutely. My club certainly is in a situation where we are not being funded through the rescue package to the losses that we have incurred. So given us the opportunity to get supporters back into our grounds at a level that we may have been at last year or higher is very welcome because it just gives last year or higher is very welcome because itjust gives us a bit of light. There were many other clubs looking at this in the way that they can get back to business and try and improve those commercials after a very difficult time. And also clubs that are better off from the rescue package that we have given especially in the National League that may have wanted this decision to come may be later in the early pa rt to come may be later in the early part of next year rather than now. Lets take a look at some other stories making the headlines tonight. Scotland womens head coach shelley kerr will not take charge of their upcoming euro 2022 qualifiers after being told to self isolate. Kerr has been deemed a close contact to another covid case. Shell miss the games against portugal on friday and finland next tuesday. Luke cowan dickie and Anthony Watson are back in englands squad and in contention to face wales in rugby unions autumn nations cup on saturday. Cowan dickie missed the last three games after knee surgery, while watson suffered an ankle injury against italy in the six nations last month. Jacob umaga and George Furbank have withdrawn from the team. And just four days before their white ball series against england gets under way, south africas cricketers are training in two groups to limit the risk of further covid infections. Two players have already tested positive, with two others self isolating. South africa have also cancelled two warm up games ahead of fridays t20. It was just over a year ago that Jose Mourinho was appointed manager of tottenham hotspur. Initially, it wasnt well reviewed by their fans, but today, many say theyve changed their minds, particularly as their club are top of the premier league after their win over manchester city. With that and a look at the rest of europe, heres joe lynskey. Jane, this was a shot of tottenhams manager after his sides 2 0 win over manchester city. Its another example of the passion and togetherness his team are showing right now thats sent them top of the table. We are now a quarter of a way into the season, and mourinhos side lead the champions on goal difference. Southampton could close to within a point of them if they win at wolves tonight. Now, remember, some spurs fans saw mourinho as a controversial appointment after Mauricio Pochettino was sacked a year ago, so has that passion won them over now . Well, its really since lockdown that the new managers got the best out of spurs. Theyve only lost three games in all competitions since july, butjoses new image has also been a factor. His personality was central to a behind the scenes documentary released in the summer, and hes also looked much more fun than his fraught Manchester United days through a new instagram account. Most importantly of all, his team are winning games and scoring goals. So, when those fans return to white hart lane, will they sing joses name . 100 full sub is quite funny because i was one who was very on the fence about jose i was one who was very on the fence aboutjose coming i was one who was very on the fence about jose coming in i was one who was very on the fence aboutjose coming in hows a massive fan of pocchetino them when he left i thought it was very unfair. I did not think he deserved his sacking a special thickness to the Champions League final. I thought getting it him a fairshot league final. I thought getting it him a fair shot and was totally won over. The amazon documentary definitely helped a lot of fans on the fence try to warm to him. Hes really funny and really endearing. I think all spurs fans will say they are very much behind him at this time. We are living in football we are watching and how could you not when you see the likes of harry kane plate the way he is playing and son heung min. Its a joy to watch and the more i see i like what hes doing. I think if anyone is going to win them a trophy will be jose. So, tottenham are top nine games into the premier league, but theyre not the only Surprise League leaders across europe in 2020. In spain, barcelona and real madrid are off the pace and its real sociedad who lead the way there. In the scottish premiership, there was another big win for rangers this weekend. Theyve been completely dominant so far this season and could end celtics nine year hold on the title. And at the top of serie a in italy, tiny sassuolo are alongside ac milan at the top. Milan are a force again, nine years since they last won the league. They have 39 year old Zlatan Ibrahimovic up front. But how much should we read into it . Are there any trends across the continent that mean this strange year is bringing different leaders . For a lick of the fact that milan is such a young squad and you have soft will know who play beautiful football. I think sometimes not having the crowd, the italian crowds can be very critical. And he can really put you off your game if you are somebody who is sensitive. For milan right now who are just thrilling in every match, to see zlata n thrilling in every match, to see zlatan being the spiritual and physical leader of the group, i think they like being able to work with the group and
