In that I feel very uneasy about going, in fact I'm not going to go.
Can just see it being a situation where it's a mass spreader event.
Personally, I Think it might be wise to give it a wide berth. [Post edited 16 Dec 2021 9:35]

deeply conflicted; triple jabbed and wondering if I keep mask on at all times it would be ok, but as you say... |  | | |

Scarily enough it was March 2020, but seems longer ago I suppose |  | | |

Minimise time spent in enclosed/crowded spaces (i.e. concourses). |  |

I would imagine most people will be double or triple jabbed going into the ground, but it doesn't make much difference to this variant. | |

Feeling the same. Though if the timing was different I'd more likely go. Pick it up at the game and that's Christmas fwcked and in my case this Xmas is a rare chance for a proper family gathering. |  |

I was supposed to be going to a gig in Nottingham with uni friends on Saturday, but have knocked it on the head.
Am still planning to go the ITFC game instead, but will keep mask on and a scarf over the top of it and minimise the time on the concourse.
I have a feeling the League will postpone all games any way, so the decision will be taken out of our hands. |  |

Everyone that goes must go knowing that will be exposed to someone who is positive. Depends if you are then going to mix with some elderly relatives over Christmas. If you are, then it's a pretty simple decision. |  | | |

Could be a case made for closing the concourse bars and food stalls. Obviously a hit to the club financially but would mean there is no excuse not to have a mask on in the concourse.
From previous examples we know mask wearing was near non-existent on the concourse.

Trouble is it is part of the matchday ritual and you are not going to be able to stop chanting on the concourse.
There are going to be a lot of family christmases ruined by Saturday’s game. |  |

Given the situation, do you have no reservations about travelling to Ipswich for the match, attending with a big crowd and then travelling back?
I'm barely willing to stray far from my house at the moment to be honest.

Of course. But I’m not going to stop doing stuff I want to do in fear of catching it. I’ll take the necessary precautions (mask) and take my chances.
Just the thought of going back to hiding away at home in lockdown again worsens my mental health let alone actually doing it. | |

Everyone that goes must go knowing that will be exposed to someone who is positive. Depends if you are then going to mix with some elderly relatives over Christmas. If you are, then it's a pretty simple decision. |
Here's a flowchart:
Are you meeting elderly relatives over Christmas?
/
NO
/
Go to Game
/
YES
/
Do you like the elderly relatives?
/
NO
/
Go to Game
/
YES
/
Are they likely to vote for the Tories at the next Election?
/
NO
/
Don't go to game
/
YES
/
Ruffle your hair up a bit and ask them whether you should let a foreign virus stop you from going to a Great British game of football.

I've felt like sh1t since Charlton but I've tested negative on all occasions. | |

We each have our own priorities , for many the following Saturday will be more important and they won’t want to risk it being impacted. | |

The current precautions aren't working, the R is between 3 and 5. Cases will be 100,000 by the time the match is played.
Nobody mentioned a lockdown. It's more about whether 29000 people gathering in a single location and meeting in pubs beforehand is a sensible course of action at this time.
Enjoy the match and hopefully your Christmas.

Yes that was an absolute melting pot, especially in the area around the bars and toilets where everything bottlenecked. I definitely did not catch it, fortunately, but was almost surprised not to have. [Post edited 16 Dec 2021 16:43]

Good for you Rommy. Virtually everyone who is vulnerable or of a certain age has been vaccinated apart from the ones that don't want it. You should, as will I, carry on with living a normal life as best you can within the rules. |  | | |

So your saying I shouldn’t go? Just seeing as you asked me whether I think it’s a good idea and answered honestly.
I think if I didn’t go when the game is open to the fans and I have a ticket, is affectively the same as lockdown is it not? What have we got if we don’t have hobbies. The saturdays at the racing and the football are my hobbies and both involve mixing with crowds unfortunately | |
