[Albion] Ballot will you go, do you want to go? POLL

Interesting, I am not sure I would be comfortable at what others would do. The infection rate is higher than at the test match, that would swing it for me personally.

I would also be wary that any infection could end up in our Xmas bubble.

But it looks like I am in the minority on this one, how unusual.

I genuinely would have no issue in going to another game having gone to the friendly.

Entry to the ground was the only real pinch point, but it was a new process for the club, and I'm sure they learned from it - that was what the test was for, after all. Frankly, if you think this could be an issue for you, either get there early or, if there's a queue to get in, hang back until it has cleared.

You don't have to use the concourse facilities, even if they are open, and the seating is very well spaced, even from those you may be attending with!

That sounds all reassuring on the ground front then.

Did they have certain conditions on how people can get to the AMEX?

No, but people were encouraged to drive - there's more than enough car parking for crowds of that size.

Has there been any recent communication from the club on this? I don't seem to be getting any emails....

My experience on some points, with [MENTION=236]Papa Lazarou[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2223]e77[/MENTION], were different to yours...

- Queues to get in were NOT anything like socially distanced. From my recollection of when we both posted about this at the time, we possibly tried to enter the ground later than you. When we were trying to get in, so were a lot of people and with few entrance points available everything got bunched up. Security check of tickets and/or ID and/or faces also slowed the whole thing down considerably.

- The concourses were OK pre-match and half-time, but my group all agreed that we'd not want there to be any more people in them because, even at 1/4 capacity, it's a reasonable number of people standing around in an area with poor air circulation.

If I was choosing one experience as "safer" I'd choose my weekly shop at Tesco every time, but I have no concerns with either. Given infection levels now are that much higher than they were for the Chelsea game, I suspect I'd just pass straight through the concourse, even if it was open for use. Lingering in the concourse is likely to be the major risk point in the whole thing.

I'm too old to risk it. All that hot viral breath on the stairs up to west upper....not till I've had a jab, thanks all the same.

I went to the pilot event and was impressed at the precautions. But that was with a depressed R rate, not the height of the second wave, I’m gonna pass until it’s a bit more safer
