I’m going today and I won’t be made to feel like a **** for doing so. Don't think anyone would think that, my decision not to go was a personal one and I have a degree of envy towards those who can go because they don't have the same pending commitments as some others. But if you are there, hope it's a good game and I hope you get rewarded with 3 points. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m fully vaccinated but not going as I don’t want to risk getting it before Christmas plus being self employed I don’t want to miss work.

They’ve had all the accusations of being too authoritarian and trying to control all aspects of our lives in the past, so this seems like the obvious alternative. It looks to me that this time, they’ve decided to vaccinate everyone who’lll agree to have it and then relying on the level of vaccine in the populace minimising serious illness and deaths and letting us start to build up some herd immunity. This had to happen at some point, as lockdowns couldn’t continue for evermore and seemed to be of very limited benefit anyway. If you lockdown hard and put the right support packages into place (rather that shitly-conceived stuff they introduced), follow your own rules, then you bring compliance and trust….and nobody’s business goes up the swanny. But not this scheming bunch of grifters. Always on the make for them and their mates. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be the case Dave, but I think there would be far too many who’d rebel against any lockdown now for it to be effective anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show Me The Money! Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 There is just going to be a lot more fear around not getting covid over Xmas. Pressure from other family members maybe not interested in the football not wanting there planned Christmases ruined by having to isolate. If it wasn’t for those kinds of things you’d see a lot more people just go and not care about the risks so much 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wonder how many people who might contract covid and balls up Christmas, will look back and think it ‘ah well, it was still worth it to go to a football match’. It’s not a fear of covid stopping me going today, it’s the fear of possibility of ruining Christmas for the rest of my family. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 I feel going to football is safer than going to work, that's how bad work is. No security checks today was a bit weird after being wanded for a couple of weeks too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an absolute farce I came in at the park end and everyone had to show a pass to stewards. No queues with everything moving quickly. Most people had their pass on their phone, so it was easy to display. I’m still outside in the fans village but the concourse looks packed. Being in the concourse could be the biggest risk so I’m going through as quickly as possible wearing a mask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do you still expect my Wife who is a carer to still work, and my Son who is an essential worker to go into lockdown aswell. These lockdown lunatics are by far the most selfish people I have ever experienced. On one hand they say its "for the greater good". But then they expect others to do their dirty work and carry on working. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockdown, as we all know doesn't means everyone has to stay at home; it means that those who don't need to be out spreading and catching Covid aren't, whilst those who do need to travel for work do so under less risk.

Of course you are right on a rational basis but I understand @big p's righteous anger. It reflects the long standing problem that we badly under value those who provide truly essential services, often "rewarding" them with poor pay and conditions. I don't expect that to change in what's left of my lifetime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet others are expected to go out and catch it, so some people can sit at home in their pajamas, shouting at the TV at how selfish some people are for breaking the rules..Pathetic! I totally understand what lockdown means, as does 3 of my good friends of whom have lost their businesses due to absolutely no fault of their own.

Very sad, nobody should've lost their livelihood through covid directly. Happy to be fact checked, but circa 3m self employed couldn't claim any of the support packages. Effing disgrace. And I see why some felt they had no choice but to work. You've got to be pretty cold to think otherwise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
