Will you be going to the Hall for the Scunthorpe game?

[RHB]

It's been a long time coming but on the 12th December 2020 up to 2000 of us addicts have the opportunity to sample the delights of Roots Hall again for a live game of League 2 football. Me and her have thought long and hard about this news as we are both of that mature generation and feature quite high up the Covid vaccination list and we're definitely up for it. Since the advent of the first lockdown our only real entertainment has been trips to the supermarkets, trips to garden centres and the occasional interlude of hospital visits. To say that we are both fed up to the back teeth of the monotony of that lot is an understatement so we will be taking up Ron's kind invitation to the ball.

Simple poll for you all, are you intending to go or not. I'm actually getting quite excited just knocking out this post which is amazing considering all the televised pain we have suffered. Nothing quite like live footie though is there?

 

[Shrimper]

Yes. I can't wait, even when you take into account how terrible we are. I t's still football. I miss going to the football. 10 days to go.

 

[davewebbsbrain]

100% yes. Can't wait to get back

 

[Its Only A Game]

I just can’t get excited for it at the moment and really couldn’t be bothered trying to to get one of the “non ST” tickets. I think it’s the effect of how appalling we’ve been over the last 3 seasons.

 

[Trucking shrimper]

If I’m not working, I will be there!

YES !!!!!!!!!!

 

[sufc4life21]

Nope. No point in going to watch pretty much relegated team! Rather just watch it from home.

 

[Thundersley Blue]

Unlikely I will attend any games until vaccinated.

 

[shrimperjon]

Yep, will be there in our bubble of six

 

[bigmolt]

Would love to be their, but until vaccines available I won't take the risk. Essex Radio for me.

 

[summercamp]

Myself and son will be there, we're South Lower anyway, so have always been socially distanced!

 

[united we stand]

Yes will be there

everyone needs to make their own decisions.
To me I don’t see it as a big risk if done correctly.

the pavements outside the ground are hardly going to be heaving with people
Inside the ground no one sitting in next two seats, no one in the row in front/ behind, and if done correctly no one directly two rows behind / in front ( important just in case we actually score/ win and get carried away shouting , yeah fat chance I know).

I can understand people not going and then deciding on future games based on feedback

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Subject to joining a phone queue on Monday morning , then yes, if only to go back into the North Bank - happy memories.

Out of interest, what season did it become the away end....?

 

[OldBlueLady]

100% yes. As I said elsewhere, they may be ****, but they're MY ****!

Exactly this. Much more risk in schools, restaurants etc

I’m still willing to give my left testicle for a ticket! So yes, if I am lucky enough to get a ticket, nothing could stop me going to see us play even if we are ****ing ****! (Apart from not being able to get a ticket )

Just recovering from a dose of covid. No way I am taking a chance at the moment. It’s not very pleasant!

 

[Smiffy]

Yep. Looking forward to giving Ron some stick

Any chance you'll be supporting the team as well? Asking for a friend

I'll give it until we are 3-0 down probably before half-time.
