Not sure about the Chinese proverb, but I do know good planners map out all the pluses and the minuses, and then ensure all the minuses are properly overcome.
At least you've given it some thought. Now do the same calculations if social distancing is reduced to one metre and add in a factor for members of the same household and I don't think you would be far away from the existing ST numbers.
You are absolutely right about pluses and minuses too but, again, you are not saying things can't be done. Yes, there are bridges to cross but recognising where there are bridges and how to cross them is all part of any necessary planning. Then coming up with concrete suggestions rather than just negative criticism is the hard bit as you seem to recognise.
Pubs, restaurants and takeaways will be serving food and beverages before football with attendances restart so something can be learned from how they do it. Policing and stewarding should be easier and cheaper if crowds are controlled by tickets and spaced seating. Players should eventually be comforted by what happens with those playing in the near future etc etc.
As I keep repeating we are planning for a future not for the present.
