I think you genuinely believe you’re some sort of champion of free speech and defender of the voiceless. Get over yourself. You started this thread because you were upset that the club ‘encouraged’ people to wear masks and was claiming how awful it was that they had done this. When the vast majority disagreed with you, you’ve dug yourself in to ever deeper holes and convinced yourself that you’re fighting for the little man or something absurd.

A couple of posters from what I have seen have said they think fans should wear masks the whole game, quite a lot have said they themselves will wear one indoors at BP but not in their seat. The vast majority have said that people are free to do as they like although whilst in indoor areas it would be kind and helpful to wear one as others may be more concerned than they are and it’s an incredibly small sacrifice to make in reality. You’ve attempted to twist the original gripe you had because it was so pathetic and you looked like a big baby. The club has done nothing wrong and very few posters on here have said anything about those who choose not to wear a mask at all.


That is just a diatribe against me so we can discount your contribution.

It reminds me a little of when people used to smoke in restaurants. It wasn’t illegal in the UK until 2007 but, as an asthmatic child of the late 90s, it was pretty poor form when adults would light up right next to a family at the adjacent table.

As I said 20 pages ago, the risk outside is low, but out of respect for others you should be ‘encouraged’ to wear a mask in unventilated areas


That is fair enough, but next to nobody is complying. I guess they have just had enough and want to live normally.

At my local swimming pool they encourage people to have a shower before going in the pool. That’s an outrage and an infringement of my freedom of choice. It’s not obligatory and I don’t want to. But what if people look at me and think ‘you dirty get’ if I don’t have a shower. Boo hoo! 😢😢


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,

You can boo hoo all you like but the facts speak for themselves.

All the moral high ground preached on here was not replicated at the game, was it? Just as predicted.  Hardly a mask in sight.

Taking your virtuosity to its logical conclusion, if it is desperately important to wear a mask at the game, or in the walk to the toilet(!) (beware of those bottlenecks!!) then presumably you more or less wear a mask all the time in nearly every situation? When someone knocks at the door perhaps? When you are walking down the street passing someone, at work all day long if you work with other people, when you drop the kids off, when you pick them up. It goes on forever.

Luckily the vast , vast majority of our fans have more sense; they joyously took the opportunity to enjoy the game in the outdoors in line with current rules, and gave masks the cold shoulder.

I haven’t been public swimming for a long time now. Not since Scaffa Baffs closed. Before that I do remember when footbaths were brought in when I was a kid, that was because verrucas became popular wasn’t it? I know they used to pong of disinfectant and I can remember old Dr Pawson yanking one out of my foot with what looked like a pair of pliers. When we were taking kids to Scaffa in the 70s the instructors would often hold a foot inspection and send kids out if they suspected an infection. I just wonder how such things would be dealt with today if we still had school swimming.

Of the c.3000 people at the match I’m only aware of one whinging on a message board about being encouraged to west one. The rest seem to have got on with it without being a moaning little snowflake.

Does make you wonder what happened to verrucas. How come they were a thing in the 60s and 70s and not now? Was it an infection wiped out by people following the rules so now there’s no need for the rules any more?

How did you find the match day experience?
You seem to be confused by the whole issue tbh.

Weird isn’t it. My match day experience was exactly the same as normal, I didn’t wear a mask (haven’t really bothered throughout) and it seemed to mirror the bloke next to me with one. He was about the only person I saw with one but at the end of the day, I think masks are a pointless waste of time but each to their own.

Lew, you know pornhubs free? Rub one out, eat a pot noodle and just go to the match…there’s more things to worry about than whether or not people do or don’t wanna wear a mask…
