I'm watching the euros on tv and it's fantastic to see crowds at games..2 matches in croke park this weekend,2500 being left into both,capacity is 82 000,who came up with that figure?it doesn't make sense to me anyway so maybe I'm stupid..this thing of triai events,not really,no testing of any sort..why are we so far behind?i got to a few club games in last week,people did social distance,had masks and hands were being sanitized..so why such small numbers in these massive stadiums and all in the open air..I know there are people whoo disagree but that is what the forum is about,different opinions..

Its one of the first trials. even with the biggest of stadiums you werent going to see huge crowds going in in a few weeks time we will have 3/4000 at games. The capacity is irrelevant to some extent. KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3499 - 18/06/2021 17:47:58 2351885 Link 0 |

Have there never been any ticket sell outs before ? Is this a new thing for Covid ?

You're incorrect there, we were down to single digit cases around this time last year, so yes it was nearly wiped out. It was open borders which drove the numbers through the roof."]The thing about cases is - it's just the reported ones. Lots go unreported. Often because the carrier has no symptoms. I've had Covid myself. I'd never have known if it hadn't been for coming up positive at a routine test. It's no surprise to me that cases went up when we started doing more testing. lionofludesch (Down) - Posts: 475 - 18/06/2021 18:42:42 2351895 Link 0 |

I really enjoyed lockdown. Made me realise how much time we spend rushing around doing pointless stuff like business meetings abroad, going to the open-plan office, standing bored in packed pubs with rubbish music on full volume. Lockdown helped me reset my priorities and make me realise I had been a busy fool for years. essmac (Tyrone) - Posts: 1141 - 19/06/2021 20:05:41 2352065 Link 0 |

The rest of the world will be fully open, and Ireland will be still counting cases! A country that seems to enjoy lockdown and restrictions! Rockies (Cork) - Posts: 947 - 20/06/2021 09:28:56 2352107 Link 3 |
