From the evidence of yesterday’s first matches mask wearing in the crowd was virtually nil.

Remember, a mask, unless air tight with a valve does not protect you yourself from Covid so it seems pretty pointless in wearing one to me.

I went shopping in Solihull yesterday and initially put my mask on in John Lewis and then realised more than 50% of customers were not wearing one.

It felt very liberating to remove mine and get back to “normal”........I think the same goes for football now.

Let’s get on with living rather than existing.
