Site Supporter Alf Hartigan Posted July 14, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted July 14, 2020 Don't know if it's been mentioned but Iles reporting that capacity to be set at 20-40% of a grounds capacity (no away fans) if current progress re. coronavirus is maintained. So that will give us 5,600 to 11,200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd not be surprised if a lot of clubs in our division decide to have no away fans - especially if those in the ground need to be "socially distanced" - some of those smaller grounds may need all the capacity for their own fans, plus if attendances are reduced, not having to pay a massive police bill may be appealing as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrycowdrill Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Also noticed on that article the salary cap is for 21yr olds and above. So our young lot and their salary’s don’t count more wiggle room than we thought if it does get approved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyrotten Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Taking Leeds as an example, they could sell 40,000 season tickets minimum assuming they get promoted, its a nightmare to decide who gets them. Even if you went on "loyalty", you'll have families split with Dad going to the game coz he's been going for 10 years plus and his son, who's not missed a game for 5 years, sat at home. Its going to bring out a load of FOMO, if there's a crowd allowed in Bolton home games and I'm not allowed to go, I'd rather it was empty. Proper feeling of detachment and missing out if its all going on without you. If fans werent already in the habit of just watching on TV, its going to speed it up even more, getting a ticket will be too much like hard work for the less than committed.

Even if we have to go to 40% or 50% capacity, it shouldn't cause too much of an issue for those with ST's I wouldn't have thought - it might not leave any room for pay on the day types, and probably no away fans, but I'd be surprised if those who wanted an ST couldn't get one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 If it’s 40% no problems think we sold 8000/8500 last season let’s say few more promising signings and you could be pushing 9-10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolton va va Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I don't see how this can work....currently I have my ST next to my mate's, but i'm assuming there would now have to be a 1 or 2 seat gap between us, fair enough........but what happens when capacity is hopefully increased, would they go through the performance of changing ST seat numbers again mid-season ? & away games if there are some crowds admitted, when Torquay banned away fans ,we still went & everyone got in, so there'll be loads will still travel & take their chances especially for aways within an hour. For me it should be all or nothing & would prefer to wait until crowds can be back to normal & people can make their own judgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
