Are you still going to the Liverpool match (if it happens)?

Come on strokesy liven up a bit. No one said it doesn’t mean anything to you, it just isn’t conducive to a good away end. Oh and I don’t think I’ll be on my own.

It’s surely better than an empty seat covered by a blanket? What happened to the more the merrier?

Not going to any matches until the worst of this latest covid wave has blown over. People's health, lively hoods and life are more important than any football match.

I had a lively hood once. Was just an infection.

[Munshi]

Not sure what’s changed to be honest, we’ve been going to full capacity stadiums for the past few months without any issues.

 

Are people worried about going now because the government are implementing restrictions to slow down the spread of Omicron which has been proven to be similar to a common cold? Restrictions that they won’t be following themselves..

Absolutely, however you want to do it. I wouldn't go personally, but can understand why others would and hope they have a great time.

Why don’t you come then? Still two days till kick off. 
 

Not a personal dig tbf I genuinely do not care about people’s Covid opinions, I’m merely stating the demographic of people who are likely to stay away are the type of people who don’t contribute to what I believe to be a good away end. No need to be so defensive about it.

I am tempted, I’ve not been out the house for 10 days as I’ve been isolating. Feel sorry for the poor buggar I sit next too mind.

No ones criticising people for not going. Just saying it’s likely that the type of people who make our ends look like a Christmas pantomime will probably stay away. This is a positive for the rest of us and the players too

Don’t see it mate. I’m actually encouraging them not to turn up? 

[iancognito]

I'll be going to all and any that I can.

What's the point of jabs and boosters if we're just going to stay home and hide anyway? I get that some people have medical conditions, that's one thing but for anyone that's a fit & healthy adult with no co-morbidity issues and/or fully jabbed, this thing has a vanishingly slim chance of harming you. It's here, it's staying around for a long time and be damned if I'm going to just wait for a day that may never come in order to carry on doing the things I like. In the words of Chris Whitty himself "we do have to learn to live with this".

Not read any of your asinine thoughts but if I intended on going to Liverpool I’d have gone. I had Everton tickets so I’m tempted if any Liverpool spares crop up alongside transport 

 

[The Year Of The Fox]

Wasn’t going to this game anyway, but Covid didn’t even enter my head as a reason not to go- I completely understand certain reasons not to bother- Enforced time off work with no pay/ Christmas around the corner.

 

Covid isn’t going away though, and I’m not sure at what point people will just say, ‘fcuk it’ if they haven’t already done so by now.

Ban anyone not wearing Stone Island

 

Will make away end better 

[KrefelderFox666]

There was meant to be 5 of us going. 1 has pulled out as he is pretty much not socialising to secure Christmas. Which is fair enough. I will go if the others are still going. I think 2 are definite and the other 1 is in the balance.

[KrefelderFox666]

And there is no right or wrong on this.

We laugh but it would be a lot better than what it is now

Started reading the thread not having a ticket and the temptation to get one by the end of the day might be a bit too much.

Yep, get covid like I did at Leeds away and spend a month as sick as a parrot and lose all fitness.

Live your life, but take responsibility for what MIGHT happen and if your happy with the possible repercussions  then good on you!

Im perversely loads more looking forward to it now after reading people are actually dropping out of going due to covid fears. The mind works in odd ways

No it hasn’t-this is a myth because they just don’t know yet

[majaco]

There is COVID in the Leicester squad.  Presumably, they will travel by coach together.  The potential for spread is clear.  Future games could be threatened.  I think I am going to the home game v Liverpool but I have my doubts.

 

Fans travelling by coach are taking a risk.  I wouldn't.  I have long COVID (not severely thankfully), am double jabbed and boosted.  Working in education, I am obliged to risk my health every work day.   

 

This is a matter of personal choice.  Perhaps it shouldn't be; perhaps it should have been taken out of people's hands.

 

I get the argument that people have to lead their lives; unfortunately, there can be severe consequences.

 

The promise of the vaccine programme meaning  people could get on with lives is a compelling argument for those who want freedom to  attend events such as the cup quarter final.

 

Like many things, this is far from black and white.   But personally, choosing to travel on a coach would not be for me.

[adejo92]

The Rona will be too scared to get you if you wear stone island.

 

Perhaps the stupid hats they also wear, with the inbuilt goggles, are extra PPE.

Proven? 

 

Let's hope your guff doesn't spread as fast as Omicron.  If it does more people.will catch Omicron which can  be more serious than a common cold.  It can lead to permanent incapacity such as death.
