We are being "encouraged" to wear a mask

I don’t know but human nature about not wanting to spoil Macca’s day might have something to do with people’s response today.

Sigh.
So after page after page you haven't realised it was a government communication for people to take personal responsibility?
Try looking around at other clubs,the advice is strikingly similar.

I am sorry to the labour the point but I am not sure what you are getting at.

The club put out a statement to its fans, encouraging them to behave in a certain way. I am a fan and said they had made a mistake because it was obvious people would not wear masks outside and neither was it a requirement under the current guidelines.  I said anybody can wear a mask if they wanted to, but why encourage others when it was obviously futile. What I meant was people will decide for themselves what to do. I am not concerned about what other companies may do to tick a box that did not need ticking.

As is their right, posters vehemently argued that I was wrong, and that fans would indeed wear masks to protect other people and that I should not be selfish with a few expletives thrown in for good measure. The 99% of maskless fans there today weren't being selfish, they were enjoying the football mask free whilst appreciating the tiny risk they were taking; they are grown-ups and would have known that anybody who really was that worried about covid would not have gone to the game.

We have all seen the photos from today. Not a mask in sight, just as I said. I was proved correct, and my detractors were wrong. I did not expect all this fuss as I thought I was making a valid point but have repeatedly tried to explain the practical and logical position that the club did not need to issue such guidance which was quite unnessesary.

Trying looking again at the photographs.
Some people did wear them,some didn't.
Personal choice as explained many times.
The club is following government guidance like many others by issuing the statement.
Why you need to keep trying to prove a point I don't really know?
I'm pretty sure anyone who attended took a personal choice, had a great day & wasn't remotely bothered by the clubs statement.

Gosh you're self-important and dull.

You really showed those imaginary people giving you imaginary grief that you've been banging on about all week.

Needless to say, you had the last laugh.

Fancy that.

3000 selfish illegitimates who don't give a toss about anybody else (according to most on this thread).

It was blindingly obvious nobody would wear a mask outside, so why the club had to encourage something we would ignore is anybody's guess.

⬆️ A post that illustrates why many people think the Fishy is full of small minded ignorance, I’m no Oxbridge graduate but I wore a mask as I’ve had COVID and despite being vaccinated I thought it was the right thing to do.

I also heard “supporters” booing when the players took the knee. It came from the set of w@nkers who sit 4/5 rows up in the Upper between seats 10 - 29 who often embarrass the club on away trips and constantly offer out away support from their seats 30 ft up.

A couple of negative spots on a good day!

Can this thread be closed now…as predicted, a handful worse masks, from my vantage point many didn’t. The end…let’s enjoy the fact we were in BP and saw a decent game…

I'm alright Jack.

I'm not anti, nor a fan of Piers Morgan and have just read this article by him on him. To me, it sums up what can happen at a match even if you have been double jabbed.

As I always say we all have choices and they should be respected by others, but the choice of going out and infecting others, even by accident, is a bitter pill to swallow.

Just saying.
