    I’m sure I just spotted @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler loitering aimlessly near the tunnel. Essential business that!

    People need exercise to help avoid a whole host of physical and mental issues. That's just not a very sensible comparison at all.

    Also, admittedly I haven't tried during the second lockdown but during the first, getting an online shopping delivery was seemingly impossible.

    The point is that in the days that two friends were fined for grabing a coffee and traveling a few miles for a walk in a very secluded area we then allow people with no specific football role at clubs to travel hundreds of miles up and down the motorways every game day.

    This isn't a dig at WW by the way, it's a dig at the rules that, to me, are completely contradictory.

    @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler does have an official role at the club, among other things he handles any disciplinary procedures and appeals for the club,

    And after those essential match day duties are complete, does he return home straight away or is there a get together in the bar first?

    I'm not saying I agree with non essential representatives attending games, but I believe @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler already answered that in an earlier thread. I believe he said that hospitality is currently limited to tea and biscuits at half time.

    Are clubs not required to send a certain number of representatives who aren't directly involved in the match for it to even be considered valid. I'm sure I read that in somewhere like the Athletic when there was a discussion when football first returned about who would be allowed to attend matches
