The SOL yesterday

For those that went yesterday, how did you find attending a match under COVID restrictions?

Talking to people both inside and outside of ground, I can see a lot of SC holders (me included) giving games a miss if the restrictions are still in place in August.

Although the club deserve a lot of credit for the work they put in to get 10,000 to attend, the match day experience just isn’t the same and once the novelty of being back wears off, I can see us (and the majority of other clubs) struggling to get 10,000 to attend

We just have to hope all the restrictions do go on 21 June.

The toilets will be a nightmare if restrictions are still in place, which hopefully they won’t be. Otherwise, it was great to be back, and nice to be sat next to proper supporters and not some of the whingers I usually sit next to.

At HT they were. During the match no bother
 
Thought it went well I never have a pint of food in the ground so nothing being open didn't bother me.
Tin hat on but I was glad that during the game the fans got behind the team and there was no booing until full time when I heard a few boos in the North Stand where I was sat

Was fine. No bars open mind. Didn’t wear my mask when sat down like majority of others.
I thoroughly enjoyed yesterday, atmosphere was great.

I agree about the atmosphere yesterday mate but do you not think that once the novelty wears off from being back, attending a match will just be tedious?
 
I went on my own. Give empty seats one side, two the other, rows empty in front and behind. The people in front were and old couple with their masks on and an old lady behind did as well. I didn't have people hanging over me singing and shouting. I wore my mask, others didnt. The toilets had a queue at half time. I thought it was ok I had a seat in the East Stand level with goal line.

This all the way
 
Quinn’s bar and the new ordering APP worked well .
As said novelty will wear off come the new season

That my thoughts as well mate. If it’s pouring down with rain, I can’t see many wanting to go if they have to be in their seats an hour before kick off.

Yeah hopefully it doesn’t come to that.
 
I thought the club managed it well.

I don’t normally use the bars so it didn’t bother me they were closed. Toilets were fine before and after the game.

The atmosphere was really good, very noisy and supportive and I thoroughly enjoyed being back at a match.

I’ve said elsewhere this wasn’t as tragic an occasion as many other SAFC games and although we lost and I was disappointed I enjoyed the day out.

I’d go again under restrictions if they continue and I wore my mask the whole time without any issue.
 
Wasn’t bad on the whole, toilets an issue, and wearing a mask for 2 hours not to comfortable, but it depends what’s happening on the pitch what counts,needs bars open.
