I'm the same as others in not really being that bothered about being able to go but having to sit down a mile away from anybody else, be masked up and stay quiet. No point in it really.
In some ways, iFollow has been great for me. Family and work commitments always made getting to games a challenge, and while I went to as many as I could, there were times I could go weeks without getting to a game. iFollow means I only have to steal 2 hours out of the day, rather than 6 or 7 once you factor in travel time and boozer time, and that's more practical. I'd prefer to be in the stadium (I've hugged so many strangers over the years when we've scored, which oddly I miss) but I don't miss the travel or the sore shins when I inevitably bounced into the back of the chair in front.

The hugging strangers is an odd one.... all good at a football match, but just you try hugging a strange man around a busy City centre when things are all back to normal ...and then people go all shy and hard to get.... people just don’t like it!!
