WEMBLEY and England v Italy *title edited by GNHQ at OP's request*

Why again are we accociating peoples love of football with getting drunk and urinating in the street, what about other big groups, protest marchers ect who have also gone into London, I never hear them accused of such behaviour.

Like previous posters have said, we must start getting back to normal, most of us now have been vaccinated, and people watching the match at Wembley will have been tested and vaccinated.

I’ve no objection to people going to Wembley to watch the game but why mill around in central London getting drunk, urinating in the street , leaving mountains of litter . Why not watch the match in a pub at home? I guess it’s better than travelling to some unsuspecting foreign city and showing this sort of behaviour to others.

I would like to ask those complaining to say just how long they expect normal life to be kept on hold?

The majority of the population has been vaccinated so now is surely the time to stop being afraid of going out and mixing with people.

That’s the whole point of the vaccines isn’t it, to give us our lives back.

Many Europeans have far more freedom in foreign holiday opportunities than us, yet as we all know, their vaccination programmes are way behind ours.

Oh honestly, please get a life. I really believe that some people (Covid embracers I call them) never want this nightmare to end. The Euros is such a breath of fresh air- to hear the crowds at the games ? I for one am delighted that the vast majority of the population seem to want life to get back to normal and have accepted that we’ll have to learn to live with Covid.

All people attending have to have had 2 vaccinations or a negative test. We are due to open the country up in just over 3 weeks so I suppose these events have to be tested

I appreciate that those attending the match will be tested before they can go but what about the thousands of other fans who will travel to London “for the atmosphere” and as I don’t think there will be official fan zones to watch the match on a big screen, will be milling around in bars. The young man living next door to me told me this morning that he is planning to go to London with all his friends!

I just hope that vaccinations will be effective to at least reduce the severity and not lead to hospital admissions as I’m sure the number of positive tests will rise.

So far….

Tests events so have shown minimal infection

It makes me very cross ??. I’m fed up after spending so much time in a lockdown from October last year. There will be Wimbledon next week as well!

It won`t be safe Bea65,and i too despair when i and 99% of the populaion are doing exactly what we are told to do to prevent covid19 being spread.
