    Seems like a few shops are keeping the mask policy post Monday. Not sure if any of them will actually enforce it though. Sainsburys, Tesco and Boots are the ones I’ve seen so far

    They don't enforce it now when its law to wear one so there's no chance of them doing it from Monday.

    Some common sense at last. I'll wear one when I feel appropriate, such as on public transport or indoors where crowds of people are about.

    Not as many ditching masks this morning as I expected. I suppose those who didn't see the point or were against mask wearing ditched them a long time ago.

    Just been to B&M at Baildon Bridge and at Greengates. At least 80% of customers wearing masks.

    Still company policy to wear them inside at my workplace. At least until the end of August I believe.

    Will continue to wear a face covering whilst indoors for the foreseeable future.

    Not sure whether I will wear one in the ground though, unless I am asked to of course.

    Genuinely shocked at how many are still wearing a face covering. Today in Asda it must have been probably 7 or 8 out of 10 people.

    I think mask wearing will gradually decline over the coming weeks, you know what English folk are like, not a lot of people like drawing attention to themselves by being the odd one out.

    Tomorrow's game v Blackburn.

    "Despite some national COVID-19 restrictions no longer remaining in place, Bradford City AFC will still implement a range of measures to help ensure the safety of the 4,000 people in attendance at Valley Parade - as agreed in advance with the local authorities."

    "Face coverings are also to be worn AT ALL TIMES, unless a supporter is exempt from wearing one if, for example, suffering from asthma or similar symptoms."

    Why? The friendly games at Park Avenue, Guiseley and Brighouse were all unmasked with many supporters stood right next to each other. Tomorrow we will have about 3k scattered around 3 stands all spaced out. Is this something Bradford Council have pushed onto them because next week at Accrington Stanley anyone can pile in behind the goal as long as they have a ticket.

    I can see reasoning for some people to want to have masks indoors, but I can not for the life of me understand the need for them in an outdoor environment, especially when running at 1/6 of capacity. To my knowledge you don't have to at the Bulls up at Odsal. Infact their website states the following "Odsal Stadium will play host to the first non-restricted crowd since September 2019 on the 25th July in what promises to be a titanic battle between 2nd and 3rd in the Betfred Championship." for their game v Featherstone which takes place this Sunday.

    And before anyone say's it's in a stadium so it's classed as indoors, having nearly frozen to death during the winter and getting soaked whilst sitting halfway up the stand when it rains at Valley Parade, the stadium is well exposed to the weather and is outdoors.

    The club will need many more stewards if they genuinely believe fans will keep their masks on once they are seated,absolutely rediculas and it wont happen.
    The club needs to revisit this mask situation as you say in an open stadium no fans is going to not sing, chant, shout and generally get involved with the game with a mask on.

    I feel sadly vindicated in deciding not to buy an ST. It'll be a surreal and probably horrible experience - even more so than normal!

    If the club try to enforce fans to wear masks whilst in their seats I will seriously think about not attending and that is something that would never have cross my mind previously.

    Coming from you Dave thats some statement
    Without going back is this a club decision or an instruction from "they who must be obeyed"
    Would be very surprised if It's a club decision to be honest
    Fear and control springs to mind

    Having to wear a mask at all times is an enormous surprise. It's a significant change from what has been discussed previously by the footballing authorities. Wearing a mask in the fully enclosed areas eg on the concourses or in the toilets is one thing. Having to wear a mask when sitting down in the stands is something else.

    This could well turn off a lot of people from attending the Blackburn game.

    I'm of the same opinion Dave. Was going to take the Blackburn game in tomorrow but due to the restrictions, that has put me off.

    I'm off tomorrow and if they ask me to wear a mask I will say I'm exempt. They can't do anything beyond that as you don't have to prove it.

    I've considered that option but I don't want to go down that line. Each to their own. I'll be honest, I'll spend my money elsewhere.
    I would like to know beyond this game if this is a prerequisite set down by Bradford Council that will be place for all home games?

    Is this a change from last week then because in public areas masks were worn but in the seats nobody had them on

    Club has been rightly praised for good initiatives but they've got this one wrong. Indoors or going to the toilet if you feel you may come into close contact but it's 3000 people in a 25,000 seater stadium FFS. Dumb move this one.
