If you don’t want to go and risk catching it, then don’t go. If you’re happy to take the risk then go.
No need to postpone the match.
Yes there is…. There are a lot of season ticket holders worried about theirs/their families health, who have paid for the match and want to watch the game.
We shouldn’t have to make that choice… the premier league are the custodians of the safety of the players and fans, and they’re dropping a Boris level bollock in this instance imo.
Think back to Cheltenham Races at the start of the pandemic…. This is a similar clusterfuck waiting to happen.
There’s already half the league with a backlog of fixtures, so delaying the remaining games by  weekend or two would make hardly any difference and keep EVERYONE safe.

Cheltenham was a disaster event along with Liverpool V Madrid (I think) both super spreader events

I wish I was sat in the Trinity Road or Doug Ellis upper tomorrow where people tend to behave a little better

Sounds like you should give it a miss Nil and let others do as they please.
Comparing it to pre pandemic Cheltenham is a bit dramatic isn't it?!

Nii but it is still their choice. No one is being forced to go to the match.

They've already paid, expecting to be in a safe environment. That last bit is important.

They paid for tickets or season tickets in the middle of a pandemic, how could they expect that a 100% safe environment would be guaranteed.
Suggest you check the conditions of purchase.

Enjoy the match mate.


But just so you know, I am fully vaccinated and wont be going because I have tested positive.

Just read a telling anecdote on the Guardian's website whereby a Guardian journo said he'd visited Jon Moss' record shop in Leeds and JM said he was about to leave to head to Leicester to ref the Leicester - Tottenham game.

A bit later Journo receives a text from a friend telling him that the Leicester game was off. Journo pops back into Jon Moss' record shop on the off-chance and Jon Moss is packing his car up to head off.

He had no idea.

What chance have we got?

Fair play, I’m a season ticket holder, fully vaccinated with a booster, at the moment I am 60/40 going, but not the sacred heart, where I normally go as that is to busy, maybe German Market for a pint in the fresh air.

Ha, ha, I was thinking that Risso's was one of the more enigmatic postings and then..... The penny dropped!

With infection numbers rising astronomically, 42K people, 95-99% mostly maskless crammed into Villa Park (based on matches so far this season) and more worryingly, the concourse.... Is anyone as concerned as I am that the match going ahead is a really bad idea?

Let's face it - It's Burnley. I certainly won't lose any sleep if this one gets postponed.

Personally, I'm fairly confident I'd be okay if I caught the 'rona (but you never know), but with Christmas and family gatherings just a matter of days away, is this not a recipe for disaster?

It’s a weird thing because me and my wife caught it when it first came out before all the vaccines and stuff

And I ticked a lot of boxes for getting it bad
Mild asthmatic
Overweight
Unhealthy lifestyle
Old
High blood pressure etc

Yet I didn’t feel too bad yet my wife who is the opposite of all the things above,
Well apart from the overweight one which in fairness and there’s no getting away from it she is a bit plumpish,
Got it so bad I thought she was going to Die

But the good news is she made a full recovery and doesn’t read this site

Haha, hilarious.
