...the potential for games to operated behind closed doors/reduced capacities how safe would you feel if next week's home game had full capacity and 15,000 people in?
 
I think they should close the bars / food outlets.

Straight to your seats. Orderly queue for toilets ( far less demand with no drink being sold) .

Also if you know have to queue to p!as then less likely to drink beforehand.

Wear mask in the ground.

If you dont like it, lump it.

Better than no fans at all.

The asking for lateral flows, proof of double jab , boosters are a waste of time. P.s. I have had my booster.

I would go. Although if performances dont pick up and Swans continue to play awful football, covid will be the least of their worries on new season ticket renewals.
 
It's a personal choice, many things to take into account, if you or your loved ones are immune deficient has to be a concern, otherwise, personally I'd try and keep my personal space whenever possible, and if your sat beside someone you don't know mask up.

Things will change at short notice remember, when the Omicron variant takes hold fully expect restrictions to ramp up rapidly

That all seems quite sensible.
 
Personally, until we know a lot more about the reality of Omicron, I’ll be watching from afar. 25% chance (boostered) of catching an extremely virulent disease and loads of unvaccinated “experts” in the ground. No thanks.

I agree, it sounds workable if everyone sticks to it. On a personal level though, evening game, 200 mile round trip, poor performances plus my wife is vulnerable but she won't admit it, don't think I'll be going tbh.
 
Carry on regardless. The way it's looking this could happen every year.
 
Although to my knowledge I've never caught Covid, and I'm all jabbed up, I do feel it's inevitable that we'll all catch it at some point, as I believe it will keep mutating as infinitum. Like us, it seems programmed to survive and thrive. For me, it's about quality not quantity of life, but respect those who differ.

So, to answer the OP, as safe as anywhere (eventually!) and dread any wholesale restrictions.

We've had it in the house in the last few weeks, one out of four of us spent two weeks coughing and spluttering around the place, and yet it hasn't touched the other three.

When it's shown to have mutated to something less damaging, I'd agree with you. For now, I think it's a bit selfish if people carry on 'as normal' when the NHS is basically beyond capacity already and there are a lot of very vulnerable people put at risk. I do think it's up to government to legislate on public health issues. The major task of any government is to protect its citizens. If only we had one.

Similar story here. Wife had it a few months back (thankfully was very mild despite her having a compromised immune system) and it wasn't practical for many reasons for our son and I to isolate from her in the house, so we carried on as normal. We didn't go anywhere or mix with other people of course. My son and I took regular LFT's and 2 PCR tests, all negative.

Yep. Speaking of health issues, my view is that there should be far more emphasis on health promotion, lifestyle choices etc., so that we minimise those with underlying health conditions to hopefully reduce symptom severity and burden on the NHS etc.. Obviously this only applies to issues we can control.

Agree it is up to the government to legislate.
Football authorities have shown they are not capable of making sensible decisions which take into account fans and staff alike, so feel decision will have to be made for them by the government
