Hopefully we can keep this civil...
What you think the club should do?
Allow people the choice?
Insist on masks in the stadium?
Insist except when sat down?
Provide mask sections where they are compulsory?
Provide non mask areas?
No easy answers but maybe people can give their views so the club understands what people would like...

Whatever the science says is the best way to prevent spread; if that’s mask wearing at all times within the stadium itself then so be it. |  |

In the concourse/toilets etc, deffinatly, watching the game personal choice, |  | | |

Have no intention of wearing a mask in any area unless compulsory
however I appreciate this is a confidence/health issue , a journey back to normality, everybody will have their own time frame
Every ground not just FPR should have areas that can be social distanced, monitored, allowing people able to return to their normal seats when happy to do so
Sir Alf upper 3 and Cobbold A would be perfect [Post edited 17 Jul 2021 10:44]

Probably more suited to do as a poll.
I think it should be compulsory.
Judging by the reactions on here and the amount of time from "freedom day" until then it is probably an academic argument as we are likely to be back in a proper lockdown by then with no attendance whatsoever. |  |

And therein lies the problem. You wear a mask to protect others |  |

A it stands, I would be starting the season without fans in the stadium. The Euros proved that we can't be trusted to act sensibly. |  |

100% agree and I am currently in bed with the Wembley variant. |  |

Why?
Covid is here forever.
We can’t keep going into lockdown every time the cases are high. | | | |

In the last 'lockdown' I have had to send 'condolence letters' to the families of three very good friends of mine (one was in his early 40's with no known medical problems). I'll do what I can not to have that writing task again. |  | | |

There's a fortnight between the ridiculously named 'freedom day' and the time when any announcement needs to be made. I would imagine every club will be nervously watching the numbers.
I predict masks will be strongly advised but not compulsory. I don't mind wearing a mask so it wouldn't be a big deal for me to carry on wearing one after 'freedom day'. Government already backtracking on reopening being irreversible. Now we have nothing left but hope that this isn't going to be a complete disaster.
If the government are advising that masks are not compulsory then you can't blame people for not wearing one.
If anyone is very pro mask, it's worth remembering some people are genuinely exempt like Debsy so be kind people. |  |

This exactly, so many people do not understand the real reason for wearing a mask
Too many say “well they aren’t of a grade to protect me”
When the real reason is to stop them from spreading their own fine droplets into the air |  |

So we swamp the NHS and those with serious illness die without treatment.
I suppose it is a survival of the fittest, death is natural philosophy.
However, the Government has (up until now) always rowed back from that position at the last minute. They know that once it gets that serious it is a vote loser.
The Netherlands tried ignoring the scientific advice and rowed back on it fairly quickly. I cannot see even this Government taking medical care back that far,
Maybe one day they will learn to listen to experts and actually follow the science. | |

I would say compulsory in the concourses, except designated eating and drinkng areas, but not once in your seat. No entry if suffering any symptoms.
Maybe some system to alert at least surrounding ST holders if someone subsequently tests positive. |  |

Thanks for being considerate J2. I wish there was some kind of proof as well as the lanyard I could provide - but doctors are not doing letters etc.
My opinion is that there should also be an option that people who are isolating or have symptoms can use their season ticket to watch matches on IFollow, as people will want to see the match and just come to it, regardless if been told to isolate. So typing your season ticket details in would give you a pass to a match. Better than not seeing the action at all. This could also be an option for people (like myself) who are too scared to risk coming to matches for the time being until cases fall. [Post edited 17 Jul 2021 11:13]

But then we also have our very own idiots who have no exemption who say “if I have to wear a mask I’ll order a lanyard from Amazon” | |

First home friendly is next week so there will be news on the plans this week. I know they had extensive meetings about issues relating to fans returning this week. |  | | |

You're right about people like Debsy but conversely I feel that there's going to be a lot more comments heading towards those that choose or have to wear masks especially at the football post 19 / 7. |  | | |

Just keep it the same as last season, when ST holders essentially get a free iFollow pass for all matches. The club are losing very little revenue by doing so - just the food and drink they might have consumed at the ground, can't see most ST holders would be buying iFollow games unless they had to remain at home*.
* I include within that not feeling confident being among crowds. | |

Quite possibly. Utterly moronic though as masks are mainly to protect others.
I think if anyone, anywhere, makes any comments to me about wearing a mask i'll take a leaf out of MM's book. | |

There is a point at which people have to be trusted to take personal responsibility. The lanyard is widely recognised as proof. No one should treat you or anyone else badly because of that. Indeed, we should do extra to keep our distance from and avoid any behaviour that could potentially infect those in your situation for your sake.
Sitters is the only person I have seen openly state that he will flout it by obtaining a lanyard when he is not entitled to it. There are very few people that are so uncaring to do such a thing. | |

We might have to. It is, so far, the only truly effective measure for getting case numbers down. | |

Me too! Almost zero mask wearing at Wembley even in the concourses. I wore a mask in the toilets and food queue, but was stupid enough not to wear one anywhere else. Anyone who thinks it's sensible not to wear a mask in an indoor area is a kn0b. | | | |
