TallToffeee Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 So we've heard from Boris that we'll be back relatively early next season in October... Only going to be 20-30% of ticket allocation - this going to be a lucky dip or will season ticket holders get preference?? source - https://fanbanter.co.uk/government-reveals-when-fans-can-return-to-stadiums/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve already paid about 3 months of next seasons season ticket. Saying that at 20 -30 % capacity will mean Season ticket holders will only be able to go in around 1 in 3 games.

pete0 Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Every third row would be the easiest solution. Don't know how effective it would. Plus the main issue would be the queuing in and out but guess they'll just say masks coming in and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not allowing someone to go the game that goes every week, but allowing someone to go whenever the feel like it is completely the wrong way around, so hopefully common sense is used when the stadia is reopened. I'm pretty sure masks will be mandatory (and probably no bars open to reduce crowds) but that's fine by me. Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see they’ll do that as you’ll still have people sitting left and right of you and at GP that’s almost on your lap! I can’t then see it being every third seat along as people go to the game together. I take my 14 year old son who sits next to me so we will either go together or won’t go at all. What ever happens it’ll be weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 It will have to be season ticket holders only, but how they decide which ones will be very complex. If it’s 25% then maybe the 25% of season ticket holders with the most consecutive years can go, but you may be reassigned a different seat. It’s going to be a nightmare for someone to work out any kind of plan. Concourses need to be closed really. Go into the ground and straight to your seat. Could maybe allow three or four people in the gents at any one time. No program sellers, no pies or pints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you’ll get STH’s complaining they’re being moved out of the seat they’ve had for god knows how long in some cases. Definitely going to be a nightmare with very few people being happy.
