Competitive football again

So we were back to a competitive match at Wheatsheaf Park. I was happy to attend and to watch a competitive team. Thanks should go to the manager and the team for giving us a victory - very few last year so all of that went well. Thanks once again to those who got the pitch and the ground ready. So I should be really happy tonight. However I am concerned. The covid rules were spelled out in the programme. The announcer was reinforcing the rules so many times, including the fact that retrievers had to get the ball when it went out of play. However, the congregation of the Guildford fans worried me. Groups of 6 are allowed. However this seemed to be grouping 6 groups of six (at least) together. I am not sure who should be policing this. Is ir us as the home team? Is it the responsibility of all teams to communicate this to their fans? Or most likely, it is us as individuals and informed members of society to ensure we are safe and that the venues we go to are also safe. Our actions must not threaten the venues. Maybe in stressing the rules comments could also be made if some groupings of home or away fans seem to be too large. Let's not lose our football because of our own actions.

How close is Spelthorne to local lockdown following another rise in coronavirus cases? This is the headline from an article in Get Surrey, an online local newspaper. Spelthorne have an infection rate of 42 per 100,000 of population. This is moving closer to to the numbers where local lockdown occurs. The critical areas are Stanwell, Ashford (whereI live) and Staines. We have to ensure the rule of six is adhered to - and when we see people ignoring this in the football ground, we must point it out over the tannoy. It threatens our chances of watching football at Wheatsheaf Park ........ and we will all have to go grouse shooting on Saturdays, where the rules don't apply!!
