Have been given 1,255 seated tickets in the Osmond Stand.. Does thhis mean town fans will have a block or 2 in the osmond for the game.
Also to add a big thanks to Tiny Mariner for helping me with purchasing tickets for the game, wouldn't have been the same a trip bback 'home' without seeing the mighty mariners in action!

Holds 1884 so sounds like we may have the corner. Might depend on how quick or if they sell there initial allocation out.

Hopefully we're selling them from block E and working across. Atleast then if it's a urine poor turnout for them we can have more home fans 👊 |

There won’t be any home fans in the Osmond for the County game.

I was going to make a joke and say that that sounds like a bet, but there is a serious point here. Though around 100, mostly restricted view tickets remain in the Main Stand for tomorrow’s game, we appear to have sold over 500 tickets in the Osmond which will probably be closer to 700 come kick-off time. That means that even ignoring the likely greater demand for the Notts County game, we’d be turning away fans even with the two blocks near the Main Stand. Does this not in fact increase the chances of Town fans ending up amongst County fans in substantial numbers? I realise this is probably not the club’s decision, but it does feel like a potential oversight nonetheless. |

Very good point. Fao Kristine. Thanks for the information, I'm very lucky to have managed to get a ticket then! St holder for 10+ years, followed home and away aswell but now an exile so I deserve the tickets unlike all these fair whether fans Coming along 😉 --- just to confirm that last part is tongue in cheek. I'm loving the massive increase in interest! UTM |

I agree Shouldn’t be allowing Notts to have that many tickets in light of the demand there is for home tickets Is this the first bit of an issue If there us Town demand, then our fans should come first |

Possibility then, perhaps not likely admittedly, that the attendance tomorrow is bigger than the County game - if County have two bad results and sales for tomorrow continue apace...shame that this comes to pass that we can't share a stand with opposition fans with some seats left empty and some sensible stewarding. |

I don’t think there’s an issue necessarily in the size of Notts County’s allocation - of the above figure of 1,255 is correct then we haven’t given them the whole stand, at least yet. Personally, if they are able to sell enough tickets for both sections of the Osmond then I’d be inclined to give them the full allocation, so long as there’s an agreement that they reciprocate for our away game in the new year. I’m assuming the reason we’re being told of no Town fans in the Osmond is one of safety / segregation. My argument is that by denying home supporters seats which may otherwise remain empty, you run the risk of inflaming the situation and of Town fans obtaining tickets in the away end (which could get messy). |

Definitely not an oversight. If match planning was easy, it'd make life much easier but part of the planning for this game is that the Osmond will remain solely for the use of away fans. |

OK, fair enough Kristine - I'll get back in my box.  Certainly wasn't a criticism of you or the club. It'll be a shame if we have empty seats and Town fans unable to attend the game, I think we can all agree on that, but it sounds like it's unavoidable so fair enough. |

Their ground is significantly larger than ours, and so they are in a position to let us have more than enough tickets Our ground is very small, and so our fans must come first. I’d allocate the small area towards the left of the Osmond for them, and the rest of it for us. Look after your own first |

I would imagine that allocation will be a preliminary amount with the option of giving them more should they sell out?

Let’s forget about th3 green seats they will be long gone and I can’t see the new owners wasting money on something temporary. If crowds remain high with regular osmand use then it will accelerate the decision on what todo with the main stand |

Presumably they'd have to take the roof off to sort out the views on those 300 seats, can't imagine that would be practical though, might be cheaper to build out one of the corners. |

Not sure if it has already been considered but as this game will surely be a sell out for the home fans, why not utilise all the seats in the directors section?
Seats can be used there for the match sponsors and match ball sponsors freeing up more seats they usually occupy further behind the directors

Temporary seating, If filled, would make money not lose it as people would have to pay to sit in it. If it wasn't cost effective such things wouldn't exist. On top of more money to be made in terms of programmes, food, drink etc. Not to mention allow more vocal home support and get more people involved in attending and thus involved in supporting town in future. I don't know what the break even point would be to make it worthwhile though - depends if its a one off or for longer term I suppose. |

here's a radical solution.
in the two open corners each side of the pontoon stand, why not get a local scaffolding company to put some steps in, to allow standing supporters.
we could get another 500 in the ground supporting Town.

FAO Kristine. Why are the seats considered restricted view the same price as other seats? Shouldn't they be cheaper to relect the experience rather than it being a case of 'well we told you they were restricted, take it or leave it'. I had always assumed they were a quid or two cheaper, just feels fair.

Tough one. We never have sold out before. Pre this season people could have bought the restricted viewed seats and then sat somewhere else. If its looking likely to be a regular home sell out I'm sure the club will look at this. |

The club isn't allowed to reintroduce standing areas without a change of government policy the club had to go all seater in 1995 because of being in the championship at the time.. |

Who the hell would believe this situation OUR GROUNDS NOT BIG ENOUGH there’s now only one way to guarantee a place in the stadium that’s to buy a season ticket.
I’ve believed for years that the grounds not big enough , a club of our size and potential needs to have something nearly twice the capacity . Our only problem has been lack of ambition over the last 29 years which has hopefully now come to an end . If we had a decent ground with good facilities and good parking ect we’d be getting a couple of thousand more than we will on Saturday. People saying let’s fill the ground we’ve got first don’t realise that the current ground is actually holding us back even now |

Although they are marked as restricted view, most are only restricted in quite a small way but they have to be marked as so |

Can someone explain to me why if the stand is split into two sections one of three locks and one of two for segregation purposes and Notts are allocated are 1255 tickets which I think is what a section containing three blocks holds the rest can’t be used for home fans.Clearly there must be some other issue we are not aware of other then the current configuration.

Totally agree with this, hopefully the new owners are starting to see this is a major hindrance to our progression as a club. Saying ah well we're not selling those couple hundred seats with dreadful views is a non argument. |

Not sure I have been following Grimsby Town long enough to have a valid opinion on this, but I will make a couple of points.
First of all I have got a feel for the history of the club from some of the many discussions that have taken place on this message board. I'd say that based on what I have read about the clubs decline in the recent history, especially under the previous ownership, that you now seem to have a very refreshing problem for a change. A great problem where you are no on the up, and debating concerns over the lack of tickets for home fans. Whilst it can be frustrating if you haven't got a ticket, what a great situation this is that you have gone into non-league and you are struggling with demand and now exceeding 7,000 fans.
Secondly, I tend to agree with those that have suggested that you need to look after your own first, when considering the amount of away fans you allow. Assuming of course there is no league rule on this. So I would give Notts the least amount of tickets that you are allowed to.
But then that gives rise to problems too, if you aren't 100% sure that you are going to sell the tickets that you was going to give to Notts. Because it's a sure bet that they would sell all of their allocation.
The test for that is games like Yeovil today. If you aren't able to full sell the biggest section of the Osmond tickets to your home fans, then I would go with the clubs policy of maximising sales to away fans for the Notts game.

I am pretty sure no one would do that or buy a junior ticket when they are over age for that matter....we are all very trustworthy, honest and upstanding. |

Not sure I have been following Grimsby Town long enough to have a valid opinion on this, but I will make a couple of points.
First of all I have got a feel for the history of the club from some of the many discussions that have taken place on this message board. I'd say that based on what I have read about the clubs decline in the recent history, especially under the previous ownership, that you now seem to have a very refreshing problem for a change. A great problem where you are no on the up, and debating concerns over the lack of tickets for home fans. Whilst it can be frustrating if you haven't got a ticket, what a great situation this is that you have gone into non-league and you are struggling with demand and now exceeding 7,000 fans.
Secondly, I tend to agree with those that have suggested that you need to look after your own first, when considering the amount of away fans you allow. Assuming of course there is no league rule on this. So I would give Notts the least amount of tickets that you are allowed to.
But then that gives rise to problems too, if you aren't 100% sure that you are going to sell the tickets that you was going to give to Notts. Because it's a sure bet that they would sell all of their allocation.
The test for that is games like Yeovil today. If you aren't able to full sell the biggest section of the Osmond tickets to your home fans, then I would go with the clubs policy of maximising sales to away fans for the Notts game.
But you have to consider that the other club may take a mammary for tat approach and only offer a paltry amount of seats in the reverse fixture. |

Agree with the sentiment but you can’t really use Yeovil as the yardstick because the most recent block in the Osmond was only made available today. It would have been more likely to sell out if it had been available at the same time as other home allocations, |

It looks like we are required to offer clubs 10% of our official capacity - 9546 say 950 seats.
That equals to some 50% of the Osmond.
The logistics of safe segregation would seem a major obstacle.
If there were any negative incidents we would be in trouble for failing to control fans.
We may as well offer all of the Osmond to those with a sizeable away following - thus benefitting financially & keeping everyone safe.

Fewer than 350 tickets left almost a week out for an early season league game against Notts County. Honestly never thought I’d see the day.

I know I it's been mentioned before, but why can't we utilise the seats directly behind the dugout in the main stand, there's quite a few there and they are always empty??

News on development of the Kasbah area of the docks should be announced soon. Along with the already announced conversion of the Ice factory, the future of the docks area looks to be very promising. Add in a few restaurants, a new stadium and for the first time in decades we see the Town start to catch up with the progress already seen in most over large towns across the country.

Isn't that a covid thing - they are for staff of the clubs and not to be used by fans? I thought that was the case anyway |

Further to the above, all the big northern cities have reinvented themselves as modern places to live, work and study. Liverpool and Hull have even been cities of culture.
No reason that Grimsby cannot regenerate with capital investment, the will and good ideas.

Google it and the Grimsby Live article from a while back shows some good pics. Would look ace if developed similar to Hulls Humber street with bars and restaurants alongside restored listed buildings. |

H block of the Main. Now also online - not been released for general sale before. I’d understood this was the social distancing area only bookable in person. |

Let’s forget about th3 green seats they will be long gone and I can’t see the new owners wasting money on something temporary. If crowds remain high with regular osmand use then it will accelerate the decision on what todo with the main stand
I didn't literally mean the same set of green seats. |

Be interesting to see who is out for the weekend.
Expecting McAtee is a certainty and fear for Clifton as well. I think Taylor misses the game still as well? All of a sudden I think it’s fair to say we are quite depleted.
Macca
Sears Waterfall Towler Crooks
Hunt Fox
Sousa Clifton Bapaga
Lenny
Hopefully we can field that at the least. If Clifton is out then I’m guessing Revan will replace him.
Still some quality players in there and I don’t see Notts as anything for us to worry too much about. Just wonder how much this side will be drilled in playing together but still confident of pinching a win.

If McAtee is out I think he might play Bapaga in that number 10 role, Clifton right midfield and Revan left midfield. I think he is maybe having some doubts over Sousa as a starter. |

Obvious change would be Bapaga in at 10 for McAtee, Clifton back in on the left.
Then again I’ve no idea what Notts are like or how they play, so anything could be on the cards.

There is no questioning the defensive qualities of Sears & Crookes but it wouldn't surprise me to see Efete &/or Revan coming in a full back to give us something extra going forward..

Efete has/had COVID and is unavailable. And Crookes is undroppable. |

Re: Notts County.
They sacked Neal Ardley after 27 matches last season with 26 counting on the league table after a defeat at Dover was expunged. Their record without the Dover defeat was W 13 D 7 L 6 Pts 46 PPG 1.70.
Ian Burchnall was appointed Head Coach and his current league record (excluding play-off last season) is P 29 W 13 D 7 L 9 Pts 46 PPG 1.59.
So not only has their PPG dropped by about 6.5% since he took over, but they also find themselves 3 places & 3 points behind Neal Ardley’s new club Solihull Moors in the table.
So that appointment is going well for them.

If they are tippy-tappy, I wonder if we'll put 3 central midfielders in at the weekend? As he's not likely to be first choice most of the time, I'm not sure if Coke is ever likely to get up to speed this season. Older players who do well tend to be the ones playing week-in, week-out, keeping their fitness going at the right level. Despite this, I'd expect Coke to start on Saturday. Perhaps alongside Fox and Hunt? If so, you'd imagine the front 3 would be LJL with Sousa and Bapaga behind them. Assuming that McAtee isn't fit, of course. The relative lack of options does show the squad is a bit thin.

harry owuld have played Tuesday if Hurst felt it was needed so im sure he'll be in from the start Saturday
Mcatee will be out, he got on the coach on Crutches, I hope we'll see a striker come in. If not, bapaga in the 10, clifton in on the left and id imagine hunt in for Coke, who i do like but he and fox are too similar

I did wonder if we’d play Hunt in the McAtee role and give him a more disciplined role to play. Particularly if we’re missing Clifton’s work rate on the left. |

Providing Clifton is fit, I'd agree with that. What's happening regarding Spokes? Is he near the squad? I only bought coverage of a few games last year and none of the performances were particularly memorable so I'm not sure what sort of a player he is. As a young lad, you'd think he should be getting near the squad if he's up to the job but this doesn't seem to be the case. |

He’s in the squad. It just so happens to be Boston United’s where he’s currently on loan. |

Think we’ll see a Clifton and hunt return and coke drop out. We really missed their energy levels which will be important against County. I actually think, if we can bounce back and play with the same intensity as in other games, playing tippy tally football might suit us.

Hopefully, Hunt can regain his form from a few weeks ago. He was well below par against Yeovil and Hurst must have wanted to rest him against Wealdstone. I know he sits quite deep usually, but I'd like to see him getting into more advanced positions from time to time as we've seen how well he can hit the ball given the chance. Would be a good time for him to chip in with a goal or two.

I think that the front line needs a boost if McAtee is injured for a period of time, and Taylor is still isolating.
The Tuesday game has shown that we are short of a forward to fit in with the previous way of playing.
Wouldn't be surprised to see a young loan striker coming in for a month from an EFL side before Saturday.
Or someone older and experienced needing game time for a month after an injury?
Is it wrong to assume that both Taylor and Efete will be fit enough immediately after Covid positives ?
I can't see Essel being thrown in at the deep end unless as a sub.
Some more tough games coming up, where Town will need to have fit players in all areas.

Doesn't sound like McAtee will be fit. Hopefully it's not serious. https://twitter.com/HumbersideSport/status/1453715238948245508The good news is that we have another two-week break from the league after County, which should at least give the Covid players enough time to get back to match fitness, provided they recover without any drama. It also negates the need to make a panic signing in my opinion. A short-term loan signing would essentially be brought in solely for this weekend; after that they'll be second choice as long as McAtee and Taylor are indeed back for the next league game. Would rather stick to the plan and make considered additions in January. |

Has it been confirmed that they’re the covid cases? Someone mentioned Efete and Longe-King before Saturday’s game and that could also be the case, in which case Taylor could just have a knock and Hurst’s trying to keep it on the down low and pop him back in for Saturday (wishful thinking maybe)

It’s a big game this one isn’t it, all things considered. Against a side which, whilst perhaps not doing quite as well as the pre-season odds would suggest, still has to be considered a rival. Given the two week league break, you’d really want to avoid going into that period on the back of our first home defeat and first back-to-back defeat of the season. We should be setting up for three points, absolutely, but a draw wouldn’t be a terrible result (particularly if Chesterfield don’t win at Dagenham). Not good timing to be without key players, though Notts have injury worries of their own, with Ruben Rodrigues a doubt for them. The crowd needs to be on it from the off, even more so if we don’t start well. A few things have gone against us in recent games but we do have home advantage and we make it a big one. The return of fortress Blundell Park. Come on Town! |

No idea why this has 3 x’s, it’s a perfectly reasonable point. Nobody knows if Taylor is the covid case and could be injured. (Granted the implications of that could be even worse) |

To be honest, I don't think getting a striker in on a short-term loan would necessarily be a panic signing, providing they can offer something. Hopefully, Taylor will be right back on it once his isolation has ended (assuming he has Covid) and McAtee's injury isn't bad, but even if they are available again in a week, we're clearly short of numbers. Having another "body in the building" would be very useful at present so the temptation to bring back either Taylor or McAtee before they are ready could be resisted. It hasn't taken much for us to get down to the bare bones up front and it wouldn't take much again, either.

If we’d done it when a lot of people were seeing a situation like this coming over the hill a mile off then it wouldn’t have needed to be classed as a panic signing |

"More than 1,000" County tickets sold. Looks like they might fall a little shy of completely selling out, but it's certain to be the biggest away following and overall crowd of the season so far. https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/2021/october/tickets-grimsby-a-151021/
With the exception of probably Chesterfield, I’d imagine it’ll be the biggest away following all season… |

He is. As for Notts, they have the highest possession rate in the league, so the fans will have to show some patience at times. They do blow hot and cold though judging by their results, so let's hope they don't have one of their hot days on Saturday. |

Ok, i totally understand safety measures etc. So I assume the whole osmond bottom 2 rows aree tapped up and they're to spread out over the 5-6 blocks above them? Possibly leaving the last block near the main empty

Just a thought - what day did Taylor test positive? Does anybody know for definite? If it was the start to the middle of last week the 10 days would be up. It was in the build-up to the Yeovil game when we knew about covid in the camp but maybe he was tested positive earlier than we thought?
Assuming he would be fit enough to play and hasn't been poorly with it of course.
I think Taylor has been our most influential player and it is a big blow to be without him.

I know it’s a bit small time to be going on about crowd numbers, but I can’t understand how these can be getting 7k at home and fail to sell 1200 for a game less than 2 hours away at 3pm on a Saturday? |

Just a thought - what day did Taylor test positive? Does anybody know for definite? If it was the start to the middle of last week the 10 days would be up. It was in the build-up to the Yeovil game when we knew about covid in the camp but maybe he was tested positive earlier than we thought?
Assuming he would be fit enough to play and hasn't been poorly with it of course.
I think Taylor has been our most influential player and it is a big blow to be without him.
I heard about it at the end of last week; Thursday or Friday I think, when I was at the ground doing some work. Don't know what day the diagnosis was though. Would think it will be pretty close to the ten days being up, but Hurst himself said in an interview last week that the covid affected players would be out until after the County game. Think he will only miss out by a whisker. |

I know it’s a bit small time to be going on about crowd numbers, but I can’t understand how these can be getting 7k at home and fail to sell 1200 for a game less than 2 hours away at 3pm on a Saturday?
I’ve got a mate who’s a STH at Notts County he doesn’t expect them to get a result so has deceived to go on the p1ss for the weekend in London instead. Apparently a lot of their supporters are underwhelmed with their start, agree though you’d expect them to at least get close to selling all of their allocation. |

They’ve hardly ever travelled well here. I can only remember one where they brought four figures in the last 15 or so years?

They only got 7k last week because of the large Stockport county following, they seem to do match specials as well looking at their website next home game £5 for an adult under 16 for a £1 |

They currently average a couple of hundred more than us (including that decent Stockport following), but that should change with a 7,000+ crowd on Saturday. After that, we should leapfrog both County’s to be the second best supported side in the division, behind Wrexham. Over the last 10 years or so, Town must be one of the best supported sides in terms of away followings as a percentage of home crowds. Even with our improved followings this season we must be close to 20%, despite most away games either being a good track or on a Tuesday night (or both). It’s hard to compare as the further you go up the leagues the more away capacities begin to limit things, but I wouldn’t be surprised if our away:home support ratio is the best in the country, this despite the best home crowds BP has seen in decades. |

"More than 1,100 sold" by County as of this morning, with a few hours of sales left. In theory, that's a smidge over 8,000 tickets sold for tomorrow based on the official home capacity of 6,893 - be interesting to see how that translates into tomorrow's attendance. It has to be north of 7,000, Shirley!? https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/2021/october/tickets-grimsby-a-151021/ |

Notts preview of the game - apparently we’re overachieving although I’d love to know how they work out all these stats. One thing in our favour I think is that, if we struggle going forward, we can usually rely on our defence, whereas they concede more. Will be an interesting game tomorrow. https://www.nottscountystats.com/post/preview-grimsby-town-a |

I know Lewis personally. Although I haven't spoken to him for some time, last I heard he was living in Manchester raising a new born. Could be a million reasons why he wants rid of those tickets. I think I paid 50 quid for my Scunny away ticket. Things happen and everyone has an opinion but judgement is as poisonous as greed in our society. |

Is it not illegal to sell your tickets at a profit? At the very least it’s a breach of the implied contract you make with the club when you buy tickets.
Mr Pexman would be well advised to stop selling them at a profit.
Apart from that Rob, there’s the issue that if this sort of thing flourishes, lots of other people raising families of their own won’t be able to afford to go.

Bit too heavy on the made up stats. I’d be surprised if stats such as xG were remotely reliable at this level. One simple stat; neither Town or Notts have beaten a top 8 side this season (granted we’ve only played Bromley), so it will be interesting to see how that pans out. Incidentally though, they’ve picked up the vast majority of their points against the bottom 8 - they’ve been flat track bullies thus far. |

Fully appreciate both comments above regarding selling at a profit. He's not the first to do it and neither is he making a lot of money. Could it be the case that he's covering costs of travel or am I just making excuses for my mate? Plenty of hard working people with families already can't afford to go, so I don't really buy that. I'd be less inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt if he were doubling the price. Even then, people are willing to pay and we live in a capitalist society so...

I don't think xG is reliable or relevant at any level. Didn't Brighton finish 5th on the xG Premier League table last season when in reality they finished 16th? |

Reselling (touting) football match tickets is illegal in the UK. I appreciate that football is the only industry where that's the case, but if this individual can no longer attend Saturday's match I'm sure the club would be happy to offer a refund (even if it's only a voucher against future match tickets) and sell the 2 seats to GTFC fans who have not got tickets. Most clubs ban supporters who are foolish enough to attempt to resell tickets in such a way. |

The County analysis is interesting. Only theory though when the match kicks off. As Mike Tyson said, everyone has a plan until they get punched on the nose.
County say that we are very efficient at taking and converting chances into goals. Or just very lucky. No team can be that lucky. We have class strikers who score good goals. Our runs at pace into the box also earn us a well above average number of penalties.
I see Wrexham have a plan to get to the Premier League. They want to dream big. A Hollywood film would no doubt follow if this was achieved. After about 11 seasons in NL, they should try smaller steps and just try and get into the EFL.

This does happen though, and plenty of folk watch too clubs by using ST held by others. I’ve a mate who’s a ST at old Trafford…the season ticket seats around him have different folk regularly, not Becauee the club resell tickets but because the holders sell them, face value but nonetheless. It’s strange isn’t it, I agree; trying to profit on a non league game is a bit weird and greedy. When I saw Orlando City, my tickets were season ticket holder seats I bought on stub hub. I asked the club what would happen if the ST holder decided to turn up but apparently, once the ticket was emailed to me, theirs became invalid. It’s very different though isn’t? Talking about demand for tickets… |

I seem to have found myself in a parallel universe.
In this new weird world fellow gtfc fans are discussing the touting of gtfc tickets at blundell park.
Next, you will be telling me that we have owners ,a club and a team to be proud of, with sell out home crowds and we are top of the league😂😂😂😂

That’s a fallacious argument Rob. It doesn’t help the situation if even more people can’t afford to go because someone with deeper pockets can afford to snap up tickets above face value. Your mate might be doing this innocently, but it’s potentially part of a bigger picture. If people can get away with buying tickets and flogging them for a profit they will do. Once it starts then tickets at face value become even scarcer pushing the black market value up further. It’s not in fans’ interests to turn a blind eye. Your mate won’t have travel costs if he’s selling those tickets because he won’t be using them. |

He may still have travel costs as if he got train tickets, some of them are non refundable but that does not make selling the tickets at higher than face value ok, if he can't go he should sell them for face value, attempting to make a profit from fans is disgusting. If he has already booked train tickets and he can't go then tough, that's the risk he takes when booking tickets. |

I will miss today's game because I have tested positive for Covid. Which considering the precautions I take when I go to football is surprising. On the train I wear a mask, likewise as I come into Blundell Park and go to the toilet I wear a mask. I stand out like a sore thumb with my mask on. During the game I don't wear a mask as we are all facing forward in an outdoor area.
I went to Wealdstone on Tuesday. Again I had a mask on throughout except when seated. I chose a seat at the back of the stand in front of the walkway so there was no one in front of me. I can't think where else I may have got it. The only other place I went was for my Covid booster on Wednesday. I had been taking a lateral flow test each day since Sunday and were clear until Thursday morning.
It is unlikely I will be back for a long time as my wife is paranoid about Covid. When I came home from a game I had to sleep in the spare room and I assured her the chances of getting Covid were slim. I have been prove wrong.

I will miss today's game because I have tested positive for Covid. Which considering the precautions I take when I go to football is surprising. On the train I wear a mask, likewise as I come into Blundell Park and go to the toilet I wear a mask. I stand out like a sore thumb with my mask on. During the game I don't wear a mask as we are all facing forward in an outdoor area.
I went to Wealdstone on Tuesday. Again I had a mask on throughout except when seated. I chose a seat at the back of the stand in front of the walkway so there was no one in front of me. I can't think where else I may have got it. The only other place I went was for my Covid booster on Wednesday. I had been taking a lateral flow test each day since Sunday and were clear until Thursday morning.

Sorry to hear this Rob, how are youu feeling in yourself? Covid is just such a bizarre thing. I've been at school with 8 of the children in my class with covid, I've been to zoos, town at Torquay, local footballl matches every Saturday and Sunday yet I've never tested positive. My friends wife had it, they still shared the same bed.. He never got it. 🤔 Anyway. Hope you recover quickly fella. |

Just a little tired at the moment with some aches. More frustration about how I got it. Thanks for the good wishes. |

My own personal take on it is whether you wear a mask, or not - follow ‘safe’ procedures or not -,you’re just as susceptible to catching it as anyone else. Think it’s all down to each individuals immune system. Key word is individual - everyone is different. Do hope the fella above is alright, I myself got ‘pinged’ as being in contact with someone who tested positive on 23rd - only place I went is the fanzone and the game. Thankfully all negative but I don’t think it should be seen as a surprise that the risk is there when attending large crowd events. But do you stop living for the fear/risk or carry on as you normally would? It’s not going to stop me going anywhere personally, after all - could get hit by a bus tomorrow for example..but I do also understand the trepidation some feel. A vast majority are living ‘normally’ - ie no masks, distancing - think everyone’s had enough of the restrictions a long time ago, whether that’s right or not - who’s to say - and again degree of sympathy to those who still follow the ‘rules’ and are at risk.
I’m not sure the experts/scientists can conclusively say what’s happening/ or predict - and I can understand the trepidation and concern of inoculations, given there’s no way anyone can say for definite there’s no long term implications. But we’re being told it’s to lessen symptoms and protect NHS, so in that respect you feel duty bound to have them. Again - it’s a personal choice - don’t think there’s a right or wrong in whatever anyone decides.
Think this thing is a way of life now, it won’t be going anywhere - so it’s up to folk to do what’s best for them, but living in fear of it doesn’t (in my view) seem a nice way of living. Anyway - best wishes to anyone affected be it now, past or in future.

My thoughts are with you mate , I really hope you get a very mild illness and it does not make the leap to your lass, not only for her health but also for your sanity because you will probably torture yourself if the wife got it ..... but not as much as the told you so's from the wife will torture you tho ......anyway best of luck mate |

I have to isolate for next 3 days, just been over to Castle Hill for PCR test, having a operation on Tuesday. So its listen to the Mariners, while watching England v Australia with the sound off. |

Hope you recover soon Rob and your wife doesn’t catch it. Sounds like you’ve been doing the decent thing. Just bad luck.

I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same. |

I'm praying my wife doesn't get it as she has so many ailments. |
