Return of Supporters

[blue b4 the moon]

That tonight will have fans rushing back in droves.

Edit* In doors.

Just had a proper look 8pm KO on boxing day, doesn't realy enthuse me to enter the ballot think I will give it a miss


Something I wouldn't have wrote 12 months ago.

Don't know if we are a typical cross section, but been speaking to my regular circle of match going fans and for a variety of reasons 13 /13 have no interest in applying for the Newcastle game and little to no intrest in returning this season,

I'm watching Everton v Chelsea and the fact that 2000 supporters are in the stadium completely changes the dynamics. It is completely different to watching games with no spectators. It will be a case of small steps but I can't wait for our supporters to get back, even 2000. I'm not in the 'all back or none back' camp.

Same here. Freezing cold, game finishing just before 10, Newcastle putting 11 behind the ball, Bruce moaning about how much money we have spent and VAR sucking the blood out of the game, think I will give it a miss

Realistically why would you. City with the best of intentions have put in the condition once you have been, your not going to get a ticket to everyone else, who entered the ballot, has. it will prove counter-productive as no one is going to apply for matches, such as these, knowing it’s going to prevent access to bigger matches in Feb.

My only reasoning is because it's an 8pm kick off, and I really cannot be arsed with having to schlep home after 10pm on a winters night if I don't have to.

If we were playing 3pm I would probably apply

This season has just been dross. I can hardly muster the energy to watch our games let alone anyone else’s.

I really hope it’s back to something like normal for Next season

Fair enough. I would have defo applied if it would not rule me out of forthcoming fixtures, but for me why suffer, the points you highlighted, a 8pm kick off, winters night and add Newcastle’s low block when it stops you missing matches down the line.

Playing football made sense to me. Singing with Covid in a crowd of 2000 is just dumb. I know it's been sanctioned but the set-up I've seen on TV doesn't look particularly safe to me. If I was on my own or with young people only, I probably wouldn't care but I'm older and visiting my elderly parents who were in the shielded group so I am being careful for the moment.

I think it will improve rapidly in the Spring (providing immunity by vaccination lasts). When Covid crashes I'll go back.
