They know most of the teams in each league. They can label each of the ‘unknowns’ “promoted team” and can produce the fixtures based on that...

 

if they wanted to.

I think the only variable in that would be if Notts County and Nottm Forest can play at home at the same time. Other than that, crack on I reckon.

Can will be kicked far enough down the road that we’ll be playing in front of fans in some form by the start. 

Pretty much every Scottish club have had their season tickets on sale for months and have been pretty up front about having streaming options etc if fans aren’t allowed in. Weird that it doesn’t seem to have caught on down here. 

what was the craic at Hibs? They still offering different types of tickets?

It is going to be interesting to see how it is pitched. A decent manager and Crawford signing should be adding to those wanting to renew.

I am hoping for £250 for Adults and a £600 pie and pea option. i know loads happy to stump up but its hard to take when you think we may not be allowed to attend games.

If there's a 1.5m salary cap & we can get 10k ST's then there's no reason why Adult season tickets can't be £250-£300 tops, even with concessions thrown in to bring the average ST price down, the £1.5m is already covered before advertising, sponsorship, corporate, merchandise, on day sales etc etc

There's a real chance we can really kick on from this point if it's done right, exciting times ahead

Extended the seat deadlines so people had more time to decide and have made the flexible payments 8 months instead of 6. If fans aren’t allowed in grounds at the start of the season then free streaming is included as well. 10,100 season tickets sold (cheapest one is £330) which is pretty incredible in my mind.

Aberdeen have gone one further and said they expect to only open to a 7,500 capacity initially so have guaranteed the first couple of games will be (the first 7,500) season ticket holders only.

Motherwell have done it slightly differently and not sold it as a ‘season’ ticket and instead as a ‘19 game ticket’ which only kicks in once fans are allowed to attend which I think is a great compromise. They also get free streaming and I think a free ticket for their first European game. 

Not often that SPFL clubs are market leaders on this kind of thing, but they seem to be way ahead.

I like a combination of Aberdeen and Motherwell. The first x number get the option for the full season ticket or 19 game ticket. Once they are gone, that option drops to a 19 game only

Sorry, I might not have explain it properly.

The 19 game one is because they would ordinarily have 19 home games in a season, so it is still equivalent to a ‘full’ season ticket but effectively a better value option from the fans’ point of view as you know exactly how many games you’re getting. Rather than being limited to the 2020/21 season and tough shit if the first 4 games are closed doors as would be the case if the season tickets are just the same as usual and for one season only, it applies for the first 19 games that are ‘open’, whether that’s all of 2020/21 (unlikely) or extends in to part of 2021/22. So if we were to do it then it would be a 23 game ticket based on how many league games we would normally have covered by a season ticket if all was well  

Hope that makes better sense.

That’s good then as it eliminates the issue of agreeing cup ticket prices against ST.

it would be good if we could get fully behind this. Even in the stupid cup with the reserve teams in. Normally would be against it but getting some big crowds in and get some momentum. 
 

I am getting all giddy.

I see the National League have said their play off final will be at Wembley on 2nd August, so its going to be a few more weeks before we get next seasons fixture list

Who would like to make it up from the National League? For me its Harrogate or Boreham Wood.  Would hate to have to play Halifax or Stockport

Stockport are out of it on PPG.

Notts County or Barnet for me. CBA with the noise and drama of trying to fix up Harrogate away.

Oh I just looked at the last table that didn't take PPG into consideration. That's good then because wouldn't mind Barnet

I wouldn't be happy, i fucking hate those things.

It should be a choice not mandatory.

But if it was mandatory?

Nicola is making it compulsory in shops, in addition to social distancing, so I could see something similar in a stadium, given its difficult to keep more than a metre apart without closing every other seat.

It's a definite yes from me, particularly now as things look more promising on the bwfc front.

I’d be a yes as it’s better than not attending, but I don’t think it would last very long at all. Plus I suppose the mandatory ones (shops, public transport) aren’t outdoor. 

They're not, but theoretically they can be socially distanced a bit easier.

Anyway, we've got Mr Grey reticent and casino no. Was curious in case it's something the authorities decide to look at.

I actually worse a mask today for the first time

15 minutes at the airport

It was 15 minutes too long, but the deal was wear a mask or stand outside

Tannoy announcements every few minutes

A few ignored them

Asian males and a great big fat fuck who no doubt is diabetic

 

On a similar note, daughter wasnt temp checked getting on the plane or at Manchester despite coming from an 'unsafe country'
