It was on Look East as well. Not sure what more the club could do. I think it was passed in Parliament only last Wednesday, so to have this up and running in little over week and a half would be very good going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 5,560 Posted December 22, 2021 6 hours ago, Lord Horn (again) said: This is probably the most interesting post on here. Like you I will attend on Boxing Day being fully boosted, jabbed etc and I will wear a mask throughout. Was absolutely appalled at the lack of masks in the concourses (and lounges) at the United and Villa home matches (despite the email from the club saying that the wearing of masks in these locations was mandatory). However, I couldn't see any signs at the turnstiles pointing this out and none of the stewarding staff were enforcing it so what was the point of the email. Looking at the stats for Omicron (and I am a firm believer in protecting oneself for my own sake and for those around me) I am sceptical about the health implications of this latest variant. There hasn't been a wave of Omicron deaths or hospitalisations in South Africa (where their vaccination rate is significantly worse than ours) and the symptoms appear largely mild. The problem comes with the compulsory isolation if you test positive which puts a severe strain on society and the economy by reducing a huge chunk of the working population (especially critical in the health and care sectors). The other factor at play now is the 'one rule for them and one rule for us' that Clown Boris has inspired so I can't see that those who religiously followed all the rules or advice over the past two years will be that keen to follow suit next time round if further, more Draconian, measures are introduced. We can but wait and see. A sensible post, along with those by Well b back. I have thought all along mask-wearing should have been compulsory in all areas of the ground apart from when seated, and that attendance should have been limited to those vaccinated. Omicron may be milder, although there is a fair amount of straw-clutching about that at the moment on the back of not that much data or context. But the decision not to bring in tougher measures for Christmas illustrates how dangerously political is the decision-making of the Johnson government. The reality is that even if the data had clearly indicated such a lockdown was necessary Johnson was never going to sanction it, because he is entirely at the mercy of the crazies in his party. It would have triggered the Defenestration of Downing Street, and he knew that. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Worked ok at every other club so far, so not really sure why you are then saying it won’t work at our club and then say you are not having a go at our club. I think it’s more that you disapprove of vaccine passports, which are a requirement introduced by the government and not our football club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
