It was an international test event - compare the numbers for the Euros and the Lions match, very similar % at pretty much the same time. It certainly wasn’t due to mask wearing as half of them never wore them - or were they sinking their pints through their masks? Your at it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I just don't understand why we can't have fans in the ff and South stand and have an extra 2,000 or so.

I wore mine everytime I got up from my seat or if anyone was passing me but there is no need to have to sit with it on for 2 hours outdoors...nonsense

At Starks Park the tanoy guy said they were only needed when not in your seat.
Where's the consistency?!

I took mine off whilst watching the game but wore it at all other times whilst moving around the stadium.
I don't see the problem with that at all.
I'm comfortable with my decision.Last edited by Sir David Gray; 22-07-2021 at 11:01 PM.

You seem to think that not following the rules is ok, cause ‘you don’t fancy them’.
Numerous examples including the shambolic CF fiasco where football did not get treated the same.
But you keep ‘sticking it to the man’.

Didn't see many people near me wearing one during the game.
And I had four empty seats either side of me as well as those directly in front and behind, so I was relaxed about not bothering whilst in my seat. Different story if there had only been one empty seat either side.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

I’m diabetic so regardless of having had both vaccines, I still have a chance of a bad case of covid.
I’ve lived pretty damn well in my life and I don’t worry about catching a cold, but that’s not what we are tackling is it? It’s a global pandemic that has killed 1000s of people far a wide…!
Why should I or anyone for that matter have to put up with feeling even the slightest bit of concern cos there are so many who can’t follow simple rules?
I don’t know about you but this is the first pandemic I’ve lived through so why would I have been in the house all my life? We are in uncertain times still with this virus and complacency is creeping in with everyone… so yes, when someone within a couple of feet from me, coughs many many times during the evening, not wearing a mask, I will continue to feel uncomfortable!

If people feel at risk probably best to avoid crowds like ER or shops etc as things start to open back up. Common sense really. Even the local shops not everyone wears one - but folk may be exempt like the G4S steward sitting at the front of the east stand not wearing one.
If you are really worried about someone coughing on you / near you go for a covid test in the next few days to be safe. They are free and easy to do so. Last thing we need is covid police being on here after every game.

They’re horrible to wear. If the vaccines are so amazing why should we all wear masks?
I’m t1 diabetic so in the ‘vulnerable’ category, when I tested positive I feared the worst symptoms even though I’ve had my jags. The first jag btw I was absolutely ****ed, floored, 100 x more unwell than when I had the apparent illness - but over the months I’ve complied and been double jabbed. I’m now double jabbed and I done so with the promise of getting ‘back to normality’ at events like last night we’ve all forsaken for 18 months. I was positive for covid last week and into the beginning of this week, the hottest week on record and I was imprisoned in my flat with symptoms of which I’ve had worse colds - I’d rather chance catching the devastating covid again than wear a mask.''It's always been just part of the culture.

(1) You do realise we are in a different country with different rules (at the moment)?
It's not what you feel is right, it's what the SG say is the current rule. If the restrictions are not eased or are eased slower than you would like then it will be the fault of folk like you who decide to make their own rules. It could lead to longer suffering for all football supporters because of the selfish actions of the few. We all want to get back so don't spoil it for everyone else.
(2) That tells me I'm wasting my time on this post because you are past the point of reason. Obviously you know better than all the professional SG medical advisors who make these recommendations. You just have a personal opinion, which you are perfectly entitled to have, and you may even have a point, but you think that puts you above the law so you don't give a toss. It is the SG who will decide the next steps so don't make it easier for them to continue with low attendance allowances at football stadiums because "supporters" don't behave.

Fwiw you have my sympathy as my wife is diabetic and she’s been extremely anxious, even after getting both her jags.
If you don’t feel safe going somewhere there’s a crowd of people then you shouldn’t go. As someone else says, there’s no requirement to wear them at the beach or at a park so why outdoors at a football match?

Hibs wanted us to wear masks. I'm happy to wear one anyway, but given it was what the club wanted to happen I did just that.

Tbh I’m not sure why you need them while wat Hong the game …. What I would say is while a number of folk didn’t wear them watching the game nearly everyone put them on as they went onto the concourse or the toilet

I’ll wear a mask indoors until the cows come home but not outdoors when there’s no requirement to wear it outdoors anywhere else.
But yes, it’s fair to say you’re not going to change my mind on this one.

It’s not about that.
I’ve had COVID, been double vaxed, so have no personal concerns.
However, I can still carry it, and transmit it.
So, rightly or wrongly, if the club say you need to wear a mask in your seat, then do so.
surely if that’s too much for someone, then it’s them who should avoid the game?

The difficulty in how you’ve formed your opinion worries me as while you had covid and didn’t suffer as badly as you expected, what happens if you catch it again, a different strain and that time is worse?
But you’ll take that risk while also putting others at risk in the process?

I was in the Percy before the game, wore a mask to the toilet adn when entering/leaving the pub but not sat at my table when there were groups either side of me.
The idea that I would then stick on a mask outdoors when not sat next to people is crazy.
I also feel in wearing a mask it’s harder to speak and communicate with people, when one of those people is a kid and the other is a deaf pensioner there’s no way I’d sit the whole time wearing one.

Nearly every game I’ve watched on the telly, with fans, hardly anyone has been wearing a mask.

Jason Leitch saying it doesn’t spread as well outdoors is more likely referring to situations where you are in a wide open space with free flowing air and are not staying out for 2 hours at a time!

Wore mine didn't think it was that uncomfortable. Surprised so many decided not to wear them.
