Sadly a fair few seem to think that watching a game of football and drinking with pals should be a huge priority currently. In the grand scheme of things it's not. Sod the rest as long as I get to the match and have a few bevvies? The attitude of "those who don't want to go should stay at home and let me go to the games" does not work and is frankly selfish. Yes they can do that but those going WILL spread it to someone even if asymptomatic and so forth till someone vulnerable/older will get. I repeat not all vulnerable people are sat at home, old and waiting to the. Nearly 4 million was it in the high risk? We are not at the stage where opening up 10-20,000 crowds is smart or necessary. People thinking that those numbers attending large scale events even with the social distancing and rules, will not see an increase in transmission and then hospitalisation are kidding themselves.
Let me qualify it....
I love football and miss home games and away days so much. I love pre/post match and mixing with others. Being in heaving pubs / a packed crowd at the Lane is famtastic. Outside of my family it's the most important thing in my week/life. It is more than a game but at the moment it still does not seem that important and not the top priority personally. I hate the fact we may not set foot in the Lane for 6-12 months but I've come to accept it may be necessary in the long term.
Just my thoughts. No issues peoples disagreeing but the reality is attending games is probably off the agenda for a while with the announcements the last few days.
