Blasphemer!!!

i'm sorry but this should not really be going ahead

Why? Outside, you can wear a mask, very low risk of transmission.

I had Covid very badly in early 2020, then happily went to packed England football matches, rugby matches - it’s very very hard to transmit outside.

I doubt I’ll be choosing to cram into a packed bar inside the stadium for long periods but otherwise very comfortable with the risk.

No evidence of any worrying severity from the new strain - everyone of course entitled to make their own choices and the evidence may well change between now and then in which case I might even change my mind. But none of the currently available facts suggest outdoor events need to be stopped.

Posting this will no doubt mean they’ll change things tomorrow just to make me look stupid.

But as I say, I think people can make their own assessments of what level of risk is acceptable to them.

Personally can’t wait for the match.

And how important it is for the club financially after the last couple of years.

I would guess that it's against the T&Cs if that's happening, and any buyers of tickets would be at risk of being denied entry at the gate if the club/RFU/Ticketmaster are able to track what seat the ticket is for & can block it in the system so that the barcode on the ticket is cancelled.

Yeah, omicron seems to be insanely contagious.

It depends what happens. Premier league clubs have reported cases, and yet been able to carry on.  On the other hand, a couple have had to close their training grounds.

Hmmmm, omnicrom appears to be doubling every 2 days, and with today’s confirmed # of around 4600 in 12 days , at a doubling every day! that’s a possibility of over 16 million , seems pretty unlikely as that’s 25% of the UKs population but who knows? 

Personally think we are going to be very lucky not to be in an enforced locked by then anyway......
