Coronavirus

[Tony Towner]

The friend that told me doesn't work at a London club, they are talking about not having season tickets but memberships which get you x number of games once they have a view of what the capacity will be allowed to be. He confirmed what someone posted earlier in the week, that it's the concourses and toilets they have an issue with

I think if this carries on it’ll be the final nail for me - I’m not set up to be a Wolves TV viewer.

 

[AndyWolves]

I wonder if the govt is saying it's what TT is describing or vaccine passports as a way of forcing the issue?

 

[Tom Hark]

The link above was shared by the FT guy - he seems to think it’s because of public transport congestion. Seems a London-centric view.

Seems like a dead link. What did it say?

Link works fine, just clicked it.

Football stadia will not be back to full capacity in June - knock yourself out for sitting in cinemas and theatres indoors for hours though.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yeah, they're talking about 45,000 for the Euro final at Wembley.

Well, it's been a few months since they overpromised anything...saying "no restrictions" that far out was a bit daft really (much as going the other way, pubs are going to be dead today because it's freezing and pouring down and no-one wants to sit outside, but if you allowed limited numbers in as in Sept/Oct they'd do ok, and there'd be as good as no risk to anyone).

I do keep saying it, if someone is really ill, constantly vulnerable to Covid and/or refusing/unable to get vaccinated, then it's their own lookout at this point if they go to a hospitality venue and get ill. I wouldn't enter a rowing team if I had a seriously bad back then say "well no-one stopped me" when I ended up bedridden for months.

You may also note there are several other obstacles to me joining a rowing team, back issues or not.

Zero evidence for any of their decisions. Hogs will allowed to be crammed with people shouting and clambering all over each other trying to get to the bar, but can’t go in a football ground because toilets might be full.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Wembley has absolutely enormous concourses too! One of the few good things about the new build.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Puzzled how people still don't know how to shop. It's been 14 months, for crying out loud.

No, you and your big lug of a boyfriend and your pram the size of a Montego cannot stand in the middle of a narrow aisle for 2-3 minutes at a time. Fucking hell.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It’s the two old Doris’s with trolleys stopping for a chat in the aisle that does my head in.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Work colleague went to the bullring shopping. Said it was busier than she’d ever seen it and you could barely move walking round on bottom floor.

Can’t go to a football ground though because the toilet might be busy.

Not surprising. I spend plenty of my time out shopping screaming at people in my head to get out of the way. It's always been like that. Some people are just slow or dawdlers.

i used be like that till we started taking my mil shopping, it got to the stage going round Morrrisons for an hour on a Saturday was her only time out of the house apart from doctors/hospital appointments, within a few weeks my lack of patience was transferred from elderly, slow shoppers to knobheads with their impatience who were in a rush to back to netflix.......probably

It surprises me that anyone who hates physical shopping bothers to do it, you can buy anything you want online, so why go out and about if you hate it? Particularly during a pandemic?

Well if you only require a couple of things, no point in ordering online for those items especially if you need them now

If you buy enough of the "couple of things" etc on your online weekly shop, then you'll never need a couple of things

Like Bear i HATE shopping, especially grocery shopping, but it's one of my responsibilities since the pandemic hit I've managed to avoid it totally by sorting a weekly online shop. I guess my hatred was enough motivation.

 

[Kenny]

Sometimes things come up that you need that you didn't know when you did the main shop.

I don't do the weekly shop, so I get to avoid that. Sometimes popping out to the shop for a few small things is my trip out for the week. Before lockdown I hated all aspects of going into a shop but the last 6 months have been ok, bar 1 trip to a garden centre where the doors for hell had been left open.
Maybe its where I live now helping as nowhere seems to get really busy (I once made the mistake of going to Asda in Darlaston 30 mins before closing time on a Sunday, it was like the whole area had been told all shops will close for the next month at 4pm)

 

[UKYankieWWFC]

Surely if you get everything during the weekly 'big shop' at the supermarket, anything else should you run low or run out of such as bread and milk etc could be brought locally at the corner shop or local specialty store such as a butcher?
I'm sure they'd appreciate the business during the pandemic..?

If there was a sentence that has summed up the last 15 months or so for all of us, then that is it!

horrific isn't it.

Highlight of the week - Going to Molineux, popping to the pub, out for a meal, visiting friends/family? Nah, popping to B&M for some fence paint
