Social Distancing at Non League Games

[sharrowblade]

I know a few of you went to FA Cup/Friendlies in the last week or so, and was wondering what kind of experience you had attending the games with regards to social distancing or lack of it.

I took the lads to AFC Mansfield v Sherwood Colliery last night and clearly a new virus was apparent the 'Idontgiveashit' virus.

Arrived a hour before the game, went to the bar, no problem, put the lads out of the way in a corner, very few in at that time. Been sat there for 5 minutes when a couple of blokes ask to sit down nearby, again no problem but then one of them sits down about a foot away from Macca, absolutely no need for it, there was plenty of room elsewhere.

The door supervisor clearly had no idea what he was doing, the bar quickly became a scrum, no distancing, no nothing. Every time two people left the bar he'd let a dozen in.

Outside, was just as bad, absolutely no distancing, rubbing shoulders with one another, I just don't get it.

It would be a shame if non league clubs were told to have no fans again, but situations like last night really aren't on, in the current climate.

Sadly there are a massive amount of people who need to be told what to do rather than requested.
If they were on the Titanic, they would be refusing life jackets because they didn't go with the clothes they were wearing or didn't mind getting a bit wet.

The scenes shown by sharrowblade don't suprise me in the slightest and I suspect will be repeated all over the place.

Not football related, but I'm the lead singer in a rock/pop covers band and we are out gigging this Friday for the first time since March and are the first band to play at the venue since lockdown.
Seats have been allocated, sanitisers everywhere, entry by pre booking only (sold out already!!) and no dancing allowed.
It'll be interesting to see how that holds up after they've got a few pints in them and we're belting out Mr Brightside & Sweet Child Of Mine!
