Wow, I honestly didn’t think it’d happen this quickly but I’ve just won the ballot for tickets for Harlequins v Bath. I’m looking forward to it but also really nervous
 
I think it's the first top flight event to have crowds.

There will be food ordering from the seat. Be interesting to see what the atmosphere is like.
 
My sons went to watch Stockton at Whitby last week and also the two previous home friendlies South Shields who they battered and Liversedge who they lost against. Shildon in the FA Cup tonight and Guisborough on Saturday.

How was it? Were the crowds restricted?
 
Yes I think its 150 or 200, the friendlies where a first come first served basis, with Whitby they went early and took a chance.
They all bought ST for Stockton as well as their Boro one, £100, but I believe they have 300 ST holders, so Im not sure how they are going to get around that.

Just got my tickets through. They are staggering the entrances. I have to be at the stadium for mid-day, the match kicks off at 14:00.

It's going to be a long old day!
 
You will have track and trace to go through. I had this with my match at Leverstock the other night manned by a dear old fella that wasn't very quick. No doubt a hand sanitisation station too.

Yeah I expect a lot of control to be in place. We have to go through a pre covid checklist before we attend.

How were they maintaining social distancing at Leverstock? I guess it'll be easier for us being in seats.

At seat food ordered .

Just arrived at the Stoop. Seems strange to get here so early for a 14:00 kick off. Especially with the bars shut! I wonder what the atmosphere will be like. They have sold 3500 tickets so it is going to be pretty empty but hopefully enough to raise some noise.

Going to be a model for getting into the Riverside perhaps.
 
Not sure if this is the blueprint for top flight sport but its a strange experience as we come up to kick off. Food and drink orders at your seats, indoor bars all closed . And of course mainly empty stadiums. Its better than nothing though. The only downer is we have to stay in our seats except for visits to the loo or outdoor bars. Would like to have had a longer catch up with mates i haven't seen for 6 months but not allowed to hang around . That being said. Its great to be back
 
Yet , it still feels good to be back. Being here and watching it was more important than the result today I guess.
Oh and Bath have scored again :ROFLMAO:
 
Well, I saw a lot of tries at least. For Bath! Quins 27 bath 41.
Youre right Sherrif, it was nice to belt out a few songs again
