21/22: return to full capacity - your plans?
« on: July 5, 2021, 10:38:01 pm »
Not the most scientific poll but I'm pretty curious what peoples' plans are for the upcoming season. I can understand peoples' hesitancy but also understand other people wanting to 'let loose' and just go to the match like nothing happened.

You can select a few different options (e.g. if you plan only to go home games, 100% of them but also swerve the pub).

Likely I'll be wearing a mask in the concourse but not at my seat. I usually drink outside the Solly/12th so not much difference there for me.

Once three weeks have passed since my second jab, I imagine I will go as normal. Be happy to wear a mask in the concourse though, but not on the Kop. A lot really depends on the numbers and the graphs over the next 2 months as well though.

You may well be right. Apparently they have just said that there could be up to 100,000 positive cases a day before end of summer.

So fully expecting reduced capacity well before Christmas

There's going to be cases forever. They're more worried about serious illness and overwhelming the NHS now. As long as the vaccine continues to do it's job then there should be no reason why 100k cases causes any panic.

Some of yers might be interested in this

https://thefsa.org.uk/news/survey-how-do-you-feel-about-returning-to-grounds-in-2021-22/

Thanks, would be good to see the results of this.

Feels like broader society might be more cautious but seems like a lot of football fans just want to get on with it like normal.

I think PL Clubs need to take positive action here (seeing as the government can't be arsed) in some form - a negative test seems the least onerous thing to expect but I feel like they won't even bother with that. There will be a significant amount of immunocompromised and elderly people in our fanbase and I can imagine they'll otherwise be easily forgotten about if we just act like the past 18-ish months haven't happened.

Ticked going as normal and with masks - I know that sounds contradictory, but if we are asked to wear a mask then I don't have a problem complying with that.

Pub - not sure. Before the Palace game it was actually fine, but will see at the time.

There are ‘red zones’ that need to stay empty. A couple of hundred seats around the dugout. But the PL were also talking about maybe having the first 2 rows empty as well

The exact same thing crossed my mind too.

Looking forward to getting back in Anfield, it’s been tough watching the games and not being able to go, but still rather cautious about it too given the current situation.

Really wouldn’t have blamed us and Everton had they decided to go it alone and continue to run with limited capacities for the time being at least given the tough time the city and local region has had over the last 18 months and contribute to do so. Admittedly it probably wouldn’t have been that feasible or productive from a financial point of view for long though.

This is the problem the club are perfectly right to follow government rules because the government should be there to protect and ensure its safe.  But like with all tory governments they don't care about the working classes.  The whole situation is just dividing a country that was already heavily divided due to brexit.

I just hope people remember this come the next election but the trouble is the SNP have wiped labour out of Scotland and will make it hard for them to win another election.

If as expected The Tories have their frredumb day announcement then Its going to be difficult to go back

their core support comes from the "Im not waring a mask on the train I dont care if you have COPD" brigade

I think it will piss them off too much

still think the PL and/or the club need to be the ones taking positive action here. you see the likes of music festivals expecting proof of vaccination, test or antibodies to go to that festival, I don't think it's particularly onerous to expect one of those from our fans. if they are perceived as being as 'safe' as possible it would be advantageous if there was ever calls for reduced capacity.

also, feel like we may regret having away fans back in huge numbers.

Considering we only have approx. 5,000 ST holders who reside in the Liverpool City Region then there must be at least 10k+ Supporters who travel from outside the LCR for each match.

Personally think that if you are planning on going to the match, I'd make sure, (if you can) you're at Burnley, Chelsea and maybe Palace.

Given the rocketing cases, and the now steady increase in hospitalisations. I'd be stunned it it's not reduced or even empty by the time the City game comes round

With so much of the population vaccinated when do people think restrictions can really end COVID isnt going away so what position do we have to be in to have full crowds
