This. Could not be more simple.
The club are damned if they do and damned if they don't TBH. If PL football restarts with no checks and cases spikes then Boris could blame football even if it was actually down to the relaxation of border controls which will kick in around the same time. But far easier to blame prole football than business travel when you're a Tory and we'll be back to 50% or less capacity games and lotteries to see if you get in. Far better to trial this now, iron out the kinks, keep the majority of fans safe and keep out the worst 1% or so of conspiracy theorists and mask refusers. If it goes wrong we're essentially following what will be policy post October and it's hard for football to be blamed.
If you want to go to the football this season and you're over 18 then get vaccinated, It's that simple. As a bonus you're far less likely to get Covid and far, far less likely to die from it. Win / win.
If you really are a Brighton fan then also back the club who are in an almost impossible position and working round the clock so you can have two hours on the piss on a Saturday.
This.
