No fans v Gillingham, Plymouth in tier 3

[rongreenblood]

I had the (mis fortune?) to attend last night,my one and only chance this season,while i was disappointed with the result,and I was seated where i was looking down the pitch instead of about halfway,i enjoyed the occasion with the obvious restrictions being a slight annoyance,but i noted a few things,firstly, the PA system is very clear in the Devonport end,unlike middle of Lyndhurst,(Going on last season's experience) but it was so bleddy loud! I like to play my music at home loud,but my son and I had to shout to each other just to have a conversation,after all, we wern't at a rock concert.
Also,after Semper brought out the teams,which is ok to be loud as we are applauding the team anyway, :scarf: and then when they are
just about to kick off,another batch of unnecessary loud music, :banghead:
Rant and season over> :greensmile:

The loud music is a particular bugbear of mine, it's like an Ibiza DJ set. It's the same when there are crowds - almost a battle between the fans and the PA system.

Still, no problem for the next few weeks/months.

Semper Fidelis wasn't played when the team came out for the second half against Oxford, breaking decades of tradition!

The speaker must have been loud. I’ve been moved into block 1 and the speaker doesn’t work properly, it crackles for a second or two then cuts out. I couldn’t hear to have a conversation and that was from the speaker in block 3.

 

[rongreenblood]

I was in block 5,above the safety entrance/exit, and the PA was very loud at that point, strangely,I did not notice that Semper was not played for the second half, but I loathe that jazzed up version that is forced upon us anyway, so, no loss there.

I’ve felt much safer at Home Park over the last few games than I’ve felt in any supermarket, shop or restaurant in recent months.

What's Home Park? :sad:

Yeah I agree. It makes 0 sense.

We can all go to work with 5,10, 50 or hundreds of people we don't live with but we can't watch football in an outdoor Covid secure environment, where the science tells us the virus is less effective?

 

[Ponty]

With 50,000 new cases per day, almost 1000 people dying, you can fully understand why this is necessary.

Let's hope with the new vaccine out soon, we can beat this bleddy thing soon.

Absolutely, sadly the figures will get worse as the effects of the Xmas mixing will show through in the next few weeks.

Won't they just.

Im hearing of plenty of people going out to partys.
People are dieing through other people's selfishness :shocked:

Yes I have been seated in Block 1 and agree with you that the speaker in that area doesn't work, annoying especially for public service announcements and including team updates etc. The choice of loud music if that's what it is drowns out any atmosphere from the fan's attending.
Could do with a poll to see if fans are impressed with the sounds that are played prior to matches.

The music was so loud after the game last night I couldn't hear a word of Ryan Lowe's conversation with what appears to be a disgruntled fan....and I was only about 6 feet away from them!!

 

[Balham Green]

lost 2 out of 3 with fans in so doesn’t make any difference to the team

Totally agree some people love to break the rules and stick it to em, same people as others have said, are the ones who moan. Annoys me that two people who sit on our row of seats are constantly asked to put masks on over the nose and even on the face and not the chin, they still argue back, put the mask on correctly, and then move it back 5 mins later when the steward is not looking :banghead:

Although the vacine is good news, there are still questions that need to be answered: can you still catch the virus - like you can the flu even after having the jab, can you still pass it onto others who have not had the jab, will the virus morph again and the vacine become obsolete.
