By the way, the club are struggling for personnel in all kinds of areas for tonight with so many members of staff having to isolate.

Service for food especially could be incredibly slow. Might be better to eat before you travel.

No audio commentary tonight.

Shame the pilot scheme that Johnson, Sunak and Gove were randomly selected for isn’t open to the likes of the catering staff.

I've got to say, the service in the South Stand concourse tonight was very good. The queues moved quickly, service was quick and fuss-free and the staff were polite and efficient.

Good job everyone.

How was the mask-wearing Rob?

Just thinking about my forthcoming attendance at the KM, I’m a little apprehensive.

I didn't go into the concourse at HT but as I came into the stadium, at 7ish and was leaving there wasn't really anyone wearing masks. There was plenty of free seats for you to socially distance during the game though. I'd probably suggest leaving 5 mins before FT to avoid big crowds if you're feeling apprehensive too.

You could always stay behind at full time, clap the players off and still avoid the crush at the end if you wanted to

I love the ‘feel free to wear a mask if you want to feel safe’ line being pedalled by various organisations/businesses, when in fact it’s the exact opposite, i.e. you wear a mask to keep others safe.

I’m seriously considering whether I bother at all in the current circumstances, or just wait until the inevitable u-turn in the next few months.

None of this is a specific dig at DRFC by the way, as I completely understand that they are following the advice and trying to balance things for both sides of this debate.

I wonder how the line "feel free not to chuck rocks at other people if you want to feel safe" would work?

I won't be going to any football for a long while yet, as much as I miss it, and the fact I trust my family that fact is I cannot trust everyone else around me at the match to be sensible.

I actually did. Felt a bit anxious once outside the stadium though.
