I would go if masks compulsory, toilets stewarded, catering closed and public transport 100% increased. And I was 20 years younger.

At 58 and reading about the second wave in Brighton & Hove it's a no from me.

Is that the Argus story about the local "R" being over 1 (maybe)?

That's based on a tiny sample as we've had pretty few cases here (cases up from 8 to 18 per period) and, in that time, the testing has changed from "if you're in hospital and dying or a sick keyworker" to "go for it".

Ironically, though, since the Amex is the local test centre and will be full of car loads of people with symptoms at "kick off time" it's a massive no from me, Clive.

Yeah because I heard transmission rate at the beach is out of control :thud:

I would go because I’m healthy and I’m my twenties, different for everyone but I would.

Over confidence based on stats? You could be exception to the rule. Bloke I know is 55 but fitness wise was about 30 as gym goer and keen cyclist. No underlying health conditions and yet when he caught it he was in intensive care for a week. When you actually know someone well who has been ill it does kind of give you a different perspective on this nightmare.

I wouldn't go to the game Saturday if at the Amex and we were able to, no way...





as I've already organised a huge BBQ on the beach, with some music, paddle boards, cocktails etc. :moo:

The Argus eh. Love a bit of sensationalism. Same article I read, great journalism when your headline and strap line is contradictory to the content of your piece.

...would you go with the Covid-19 situation exactly as it is?

Where is the option: I have antibodies? So of course I would attend.

I assume most of those voting yes, are able to get to the Amex without using public transport.

It is this more than anything else, that will stop me from returning.

Even though there is no proof your antibodies will make any difference to whether or not you catch the virus again ?
On the other hand, there are no stories of swathes of people being admitted to hospital with a 2nd case, so it's possible to be optimistic about it.

Assuming I could still drive and park in the Uni then yes. Would get there early, get in my seat and stay in it. Then leave 15 mins after the end.

No.
You couldn't imagine the drama that might ensue, if some person sneezes from behind you.
Everyone turns their heads around, whilst missing an Albion goal.
At least the 1901 club have sneeze screens.....

Would not want to (possibly) contribute to spiking cases that would **** up the Sussex County Hospital. And I was prepared to go to the Arsenal game (hindsight & information).

This absolutely! I look back now and potentially needed saving from myself. In my 50's and whilst no underlying health conditions a little overweight and not best cardiovascular health. And a mid 70's mother in law firmly in the vulnerable group.

Oh how I ranted but Arteta might have just done me a favour when I think of the train bundle at Lewes.

No.i was really torn before the arsenal game.i did not want to go because of the virus but equally I wanted to go in case I missed us beat them 3.0 or something.i was actually glad it was cancelled in the end and now we know what we know if we had a game this weekend I would not have any trouble deciding.it would be no I'm not going.but it would still feel horrible knowing a match is on and missing it.
