[Football] Going to the Game Saturday or Staying away because of Corona Virus?

[Blackadder]

I plan to go but I have a feeling that it won't go ahead.

Especially after just hearing the words of the WHO director-general in declaring the pandemic official.

 

[melias shoes]

My wife has asthma and bronchial issues so as of today I took the reluctant decision to give Saturday a miss

Exactly this. Some things are far, far more important than football.

 

[Captain Sensible]

Wow 13% not going? That’s high!

I’ve had the experience of those behind me sneezing and me feeling the particles hitting the back of my head. Laughed it off in the past, but not now.

Should be a dream. Watching us play Arsenal with real supporters, and no ques! If you go to this game. You really are a die hard! I’ll support them and be there. The chances are tiny of getting this flu, versus missing a Saturday 3pm home to Arsenal.
If you aren’t going for health reasons. That’s fair enough. But I can’t see most fairweather Mutes going either.

Nice turn of phrase.

At some point tomorrow this thread will become irrelevant. Game will get cancelled

 

[Raphael Meade]

Can't answer this one but I have LAFC season tickets during my Sussex-exile and will not be attending their big cup tie tomorrow against Cruz Azul of Mexico. Not one to panic but just seems daft to go right now when it's on TV anyway...

Well I won't argue with her, she's an expert in this field.

I really hope she is right.

I wouldn't be surprised if that includes some people who never had any intention of going.

 

[RossyG]

I can understand it. I suspect with the NSC demographic (majority middle aged) it’s not that members are worried for themselves but for elderly parents they might pass it on to.

Staying away.

 

[Del of Albion]

Staying away mainly due to being in Australia visiting my family! Back for United though.

 

[Is it PotG?]

I'm going, if it is played behind closed doors, to sit outside the West Stand on a crate, watching a dodgy stream on a laptop.

 

[portslade seagull]

Going and intend on some heavy drinking.

Might miss out the hugging everyone in our row if we nail a 93rd minute winner. Might.

What about kissing

 

[Monkey Man]

Staying away. I am restricting non-essential social contact for the time being. We've each got to make our own judgement on this, based on what we've read and heard, and how high we believe the risk to be of spreading the virus to very vulnerable people.

 

[Peter Grummit]

I think it's madness that the game is on. But I'll be going anyway. Which is probably madness too, but I just can't sit at home 4 miles away when I can cycle up there and back, not hang around, keep my coat hood up and gloves on and almost certainly be ok.

 

[Creaky]

No tongues - should be ok

May have already been posted, but do you mean like this??
