Anyone else feeling crowd-averse? (1 Viewer)

[glenn2926]

We're Oldham Rugby League fans so we're not worried about crowds. They always announce the crowd changes before the match, then do the team changes

We’re very similar at Cougars. We did a few decades ago manage just over 7000 on at least one occasion. Not for a long time though.

I think you are all very wrong, maybe you personally will be careful but just wait till they open the pubs again, you won't be able to get near them, folks will flood out, you have only to look at the reports of people out at raves and things even now under regulations, so when they are free to go, it will be like it never happened within a month.
Then we will have the next lockdown.

Can only speak of our two locals but at the end of the last lockdown when the pubs opened our two were very quiet for a good few days after. Maybe people forgot where the pubs were

Very similar here, we have three pubs in fairly close walking distance. All were pretty quiet last time they re opened. No need to book a table to eat just walk in.
I do like the table service but would like to go to the bar on arrival to see what beers they have. After that table service all the time.

One of my son's and my daughter, both say , they have saved loads by not going to pubs and won't be going when they open.
I'll give them a week

Let's just say I wouldn't take boots with me in the car!

As well as going to old Trafford we are season ticket holders at Salford Rugby League. Our tickets for this season should arrive soon and hopefully it won’t be long before they let fans back in.

Met my now wife whilst clubbing in Manchester January 69, first date was to invite her to the Salford club Friday night as the had a disco on each week, turned up all dolled up, short skirt little bolero jacket, she didn’t know she had to stand on the terraces and watch the game first, spent all game facing me whilst I wrapped my big coat around her, must have been freezing.
Wasn’t long before she was watching and screaming at the team, went to the Wembley final a few months later, little did we know it would take 51 years to get back there, and we couldn’t go because of the pandemic.

I believe that it’s nearby, only been in once at that was when my son in law scattered some of his mothers ashes just in front of where they used to sit, they were regulars.
Otherwise I have no interest in cricket.

I wish you well for the new season. Going to be different without Watson but fingers crossed.

In the last year I have had my hair cut twice, been for a few medical appointments (examination and treatment done in car park) and been in a shop a couple of times. I am very crowd adverse - I never really liked crowded places anyway but am much worse now.

Sorry but I had to smile about the examination in the carpark. I hope it wasn't a gynae problem

Wonder if I'll get a Big Mac at the end?

That'll be like Shirls 3 month skin Cancer check.

Much as I would love life to go back how it was, I cannot envisage going to motorhome shows with thousands of people milling around and then sitting in crowded entertainment halls watching the shows.

Is it just me?

No, I have always hated crowds and I don't like my space invaded. Covid didn't make much difference to my desire to social distance. Having said that, I have a good family and friends who I am happy to be in company with, its just anyone outside that circle I am wary off.
