No - I wouldn't make that presumption - agree there is an element of risk management/consideration involved but having attended the Chelsea, Saints and SU games I feel far safer at the Amex than I do, for example, popping to Tesco or the local Co-op for a loaf of bread (pretty much the only other time I have to take any real risk). Very easy to maintain distancing at pretty much all times (and proximity less than 2m is very fleeting), barely touch any surfaces, spend almost the whole time either on a very sparsely populated, draughty concourse or outdoors, everyone following the rules (pretty much without exception) and travel there in my own car, and park in isolation. In short, I don't personally feel there is much more risk than sitting in my own garden listening to it on the radio. I wish I could say the same for the supermarket.
Same here. I drove on my own and was parked up in Bridge car park before 10am. Walked to ground with no one around. No one queuing to get into stadium ... just had the electronic search. Went to the loo ... no one in there. No queues on concourse ... so got myself a cuppa and something to eat. Went to my seat ... first person in my area (apart from stewards).
I half removed my mask to drink me tea. Put tea on the floor to get bar of chocolate from my jacket pocket. Can you believe, in those few seconds, a steward came over to me and was pretty aggressive about putting my mask back on. I explained I was drinking my tea and getting something to eat out of my pocket and that I PROMISED I would put my mask on once I'd finished. His response was that I wasn't actually drinking my tea when he came over!!! There was no-one within 20 meters of me - let alone 2 ... and I was following the rules! Oh well ...
I managed to hang on until second half before paying another loo visit and went when Ramsdale was 'injured' and receiving treatment. There was just one other person in the loo. Then waited for most to leave at FT and slowly made my way back to my car avoiding getting within 2m of anyone. I also take small bottle of sanitiser with me as a back up.
And then today was our last trip to Tesco before Christmas ... it was shocking!! Spent a lot of time just standing out of the way and waiting for the masses to move through the various aisles!!
