Standing outside Stadiums

[Treeton Blade]

I see a few supporters were stood outside the stadium at the opening game of the La Liga season last neet.

Anyone planning on doing that at any of our games?

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

No
Can't understand why anybody would. I want to watch the game. First choice would be inside the stadium. Second would be on telly.
Standing.outside means I dont see the game at all, get wet and cold, look like a knob, probably get moved on.

But you could watch on your phone...doesn't that sound like fun?!

If they're an utter cretin they might be!

Ooh yes.
Or I'll sit on the settee, have a beer...

 

[nickwr37]

Treeton Blade that's a fair trek for what I consider to be a non worthwhile experience, even if you can watch on your phone.....Plus have you checked what security/ police may just be around to check instances of this occurring?

There's a potentially deadly virus going around for which there's been no breakthrough treatment wise even though Boris wants us all to go out on a megashop on Monday, I've been going outside for about 15 minutes a week for the last however many weeks (not including the garden when the sun's out) to pay the papers and get some groceries from the newsagent, and to pick up prescriptions for my elderly parents.

If you go outside, make it for something worthwhile, standing outside a football stadium you're not allowed into, doesn't seem like a risk worth taking.

Could also get the club in trouble.

If you live on Shoreham Street, go out on the front and sing the GCB at the top of your lungs, but don't travel especially if you don't need to go out.

I have a relative who lives on John Street.

 

[boggy1959]

Well i've got enough ale in,so come matchday i'm going imagine i'm in the Farm Rd Club having a few swillocks pregame.

Surely some people will be having a legitimate viewing in the garden with 5 friends sitting on socially distanced folding chairs in front of a telly balanced on the top of a stepladder?

Seriously, loads of people must be planning something like this?

 

[Davalon]

Can't see the point in standing outside the ground.

I might go in the Railway though and stand in the beer garden so I can hear what's going off.

Make him/her your “ bubble buddy”

I'm driving down. Not drinking owt because of the fact I'm driving. Eating nowt because nowts oppen. Watching it on my phone in my car because its liable to piss it dahn. Missing the 2nd half because my battery has died and driving home.

Reyt waste of a trip.

Or...

Get a crate and watch it in the house in full kit.

Go on then, I'll come round.

 

[bornablade]

Well I've a shed load of toilet rolls bought just before lock down.

I'll be chucking them at the television as the teams come out.

Reyt atmosphere.

Why?

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

I've got some pyro on order

 

[Northyorksblade]

We're having a pre match Cricketers zoom finishing with a rendition of Greasy chip butty as we kick off.

Mrs will go mental when you set em off in the kitchen !

 

[Bladedog]

Scousers will... and would even if they weren't champions elect

 

[Treeton Blade]

Why?

I was just wondering if anyone was that's all, following Spains example
Maybe someone would want to be close to the action!

I am not playing the bigger Blade card, my eldest brother hasn't been to a game this Century!, and I still class him as a 100% Blade, but the Villa game will be the first time I have EVER seen us on live TV, I have not missed a game since 1984, and Wed will be tough, but better than nothing.

 

[bladesmanluke]

Nice try, officer

 

[wavy-blade]

You know what if they achieve Europe or if they win the FA cup I don’t think they will be able to physically come back in the coach because we’re gonna want to welcome them back , it will be the United way to make it to the final that no one can go to

 

[Ball_Sup (Phil)]

No one I know is planning to congregate outside the ground, in a large group, putting on a display, gurning for the TV, for shits & giggles. But, yes, people I know will be looking to get down to the ground on matchday, to generally mooch about. It's each to their own isn't it. Some people don't have the wherewithal to watch games on TV, or their phone. Some could, but have no real interest in doing that. The football fan is a very complicated beast.

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

I'm going down








But only in spirit

I admire your discipline and I think, if you are in a high risk group, you're being very sensible. If you're not in a high risk group I think you are being extremely and unnecessarily cautious.

The chances of you picking up this coronavirus outdoors are extremely unlikely. The chances of you picking up this coronavirus by touching something that someone else has touched are extremely unlikely too. The chances of you being seriously ill, even if you did get the virus, are extremely small.

It's a pity that many people feel afraid to resume some semblance of normality to their lives, but I can't say I blame anyone other than the government for not making the risks much clearer and for sending out a load of confusing messages.

(There's no "treatment" for any virus btw, not in terms of a "cure" at least. And there won't be one for this either. So I wouldn't plan on stopping in until we find one).

I agree with you though, I can't see the point of going down to Bramall Lane to stand in the car park and watch the game. Now...if they put it on a big screen in the car park it may be a different matter. But we are a few months away from that unfortunately.

Serious point here. Drive in Cinemas can now we open. Surely it would be possible to show matches this way.
