If football fans wore masks ..

[BFCPaul]

.. aside from the sound of muffled cheering, the fact the game was outdoors, then surely they would consider allowing fans back in? Not sure they'd be keen on opening the concourses and the half time cocoa could be hard to consume but sounds pretty safe to me?

 

[Insider]

Said pretty much the same a while back.

I would agree, not for myself because although we will re new STs we will not be going until a vaccine is available. However we will be watching on the fire stick and after watching one or two of the games without crowds it is terrible. You don’t realise what a difference it makes. I think that spectators will be back from the season start in limited numbers and no away fans. This will give clubs some income and make viewing a full experience.

They should stream every 3pm game as well. Would be happy to pay a fee for the privilege.

I read recently that there is a possibility that shouting and singing in the ground will not be allowed . It won't be worth going under those circumstances .

There is still a virus, that is easily transmitted by proximity to infected people, a number of people don't know they have it, but will still transmit it.. ie people will die...

Can't see any stadiums, clubs wanting to take the risk, even if they did, would their insurers allow it...

 

[Plumbs]

Yes could be a good idea but we'd all have to temper our enthusiasm within the stadia.
Funnily enough BRR mentioned that people in Lewisham have had some success with the wearing of masks,but that could be a reference to their 'visiting' of banks,post offices and jewellers.

*quick tap on the keepnet*

 

[This is Ska]

We could hum the chants and songs

 

[Whitstabletangerine]

Re introduce the old wooden rattles, they made a fantastic noise and would keep the West stand awake.

 

[NewburyOne]

What we need is a fans app, you record yourself singing the songs you like and then blast it out of your phone as appropriate. This may or may not be tongue-in-cheek.

The world would be a prettier place!

 

[Suddick's Ghost]

Surely you can sing through a face mask?

 

[Davepick]

Mine fogs up my glasses without singing.
I'd need to tie it below my nose.

 

[basilexile]

Some of the managers we had in recent years, no singing or shouting was a fairly common event.

 

[fcblackpool]

Sign language.

 

[Suffolk Seasider]

I'm sure there's enough Paul Ince masks about the place for every one at the games if they do open the stadium to fans!

 

[fcblackpool]

I saw some talk of 25% capacity come September, increasing as and when possible.

 

[adamswonkyteeth]

To be honest with the ruling about face masks in shops, it does make any indoor event slightly odd if they don't ask to wear a face mask and outdoor events even odder!

I can see that being a realistic number. I would suspect you'd have to wear a face mask in the concourse areas but doubt they'd expect it once in the open air.

DP you need to get a face visor as they don’t steam up when wearing glasses

Might make going to the loo a more pleasant experience - can't believe some wait until they get to BR to have a dump!
