It was so good to be back inside a stadium after nearly six months away.
We’ve all missed seeing live football. We’ve all missed meeting up with friends before the game. We’ve all missed the Albion.
The atmosphere was a little strange and the Amex was quieter than usual but that’s to be expected with fewer fans and social distancing. But it was still amazing to be back after so long. I think the players appreciated having the supporters back too. We felt safe.
We all had our temperature taken outside the ground and there was plenty of hand sanitiser around too.
You now have to bring identification with you along with your tickets. You had to wear face masks in the concourses unless you were eating and drinking, which made things a little complex, but thankfully they were not necessary in the stands where we were all spaced out. We looked like a chessboard.
I think most of the fans enjoyed being back. Yes, it is a little strange but it went well. Hopefully this means fans can start to return safely to stadiums all over the country.
