Is everyone sitting in the stand? Find it crazy when the Govt are harking on about well ventilated places/outdoors, and we could potentially have the whole NT shut off to fans It's nuts but that's what happens when the government arbitrarily set a 500 fan limit. We're effectively at <5% capacity at Somerset. Which is bizarre given we have significant capacity available which is for all intents and purposes outside. Utterly bizarre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I have absolutely zero interest in sitting in an awful freezing stand with 300 odd others to watch us! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not much different from any other game for me, where I'd normally be standing with 400 or 500 others out in a freezing and uncovered NT. At least I'll have a roof today and no issue of the sun blinding me (on the off chance that it appears) or a rogue seagull targeting me !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m usually NT as well, but there is just something awful about watching on from a cramped stand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, the NT beats the main stand hands down. I hate sitting down to watch the football, it's unnatural. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pulling out all the stops today, the hooped shirt has been bad luck so far so I'm resurrecting the all white shirt from two (or was it 3) seasons ago as it was generally pretty lucky. Yes, that's the desperate stage that I've reached........ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I'm a season ticket holder, none of the folk I go with are going due to family commitments or don't have a season ticket and I don't want to sit in the stand. If the terrace had been opened, I'd have gone along on my own. Be interesting to see how they play under almost completely different coaching staff for the first time this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
