They stopped cancer treatment (including my late father's) they
stopped pediatric care, cardiology etc..,

Eugh......another nail in the coffin of my optimism about some
sort of normality coming back.
So utterly disappointing.

I have had actual surgery and CT Scans in the last few months,
no problems and nothing to do with Covid. I will not hear a word
spoken against any part of the NHS.

They did not stop cancer treatment (as my brother will testify)
nor did they stop the other care you mention nor has "half the
NHS has done sod all for the last year and a bit".
Your post is disgraceful and you should be ashamed.

Well this is veering off topic. People's experiences are likely
to vary as they are likely to with an organisation as large as
the NHS. If said experiences are rubbish those feelings are
likely to be understandably raw. I've had some superb
experiences with them and some downright awful since March 2020.
Much the same as I did pre-Covid. I certainly wouldn't say that
any of the staff have been doing naff all though.
They've probably done the right thing refunding the tickets so
that the finalists can have as many as possible. Do feel it's a
bit of a shame that capacity is being reduced to 10,000 when HQ
is 82,000 but thems the rules - 25% or 10,000 whichever is
lower.

I do feel sorry for your father - I really feel for his family.
My wife has had 4 relatives (uncles/aunts) die of cancer over
the past 10 or so years and 2 sisters - and I have lost 2 great
friends - I have been through the process more times than you'd
want.
But you're quite wrong about the NHS having done "sod all". I
have three friends undergoing cancer treatment at the moment,
all having started their treatment a year ago. I know several
nurses who are not working in COVID wards and they are flat out.
I do not know where you get your opinions from, but how you
present them is crass and asinine.
Shape up, man! >:(

My cancer treatment continued throughout this whole pandemic
saga. One of my good friends is a surgeon in an NHS hospital,
and he has not stopped at all over the last year or more, same
for his wife, a nurse at a different hospital.

Back on topic from the NHS, how come the football is allowed
25000 at Wembley? Their seems to be less consistency with the
spectator numbers than with Premiership refereeing!

Putting my sceptics hat on, I'd suggest it's down to how high
profile the relative events are. Much as we'd like to think
otherwise, the Prem Final just isn't as big a deal in the
national non-sport press & public psyche as the Euros, Wimbledon
or Ascot. Because of that, the people making the decisions want
to put across the idea that they're opening things up without
actually doing too much about it are picking pilot events based
on the PR impact that the stories will have. By showing photos
in the newspapers/on TV of bigger crowds at Wembley, in Centre
Court or on the trackside at the races makes a bigger story than
the crowds at Twickenham for the final.
Football, Wimbledon, Ascot etc are more firmly ingrained into
the national identity as events than the Premiership final is.
When you want to to set a narrative of "Look! We're opening nice
things for you!" while actually wanting to keep things locked
down relatively tight generally, having crowds at Wembley etc
hit home harder than crowds at the Rugby. It's a different
matter when it comes to the 6 Nations. That's an event that has
sufficient "draw" to the disinterested viewer to rival football,
tennis, racing, etc. I reckon if we were playing the 6 Nations
now, they'd let *that* be a pilot event.
