Escobarp Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I saw something a while back that had twickenham at 25k capacity under social distancing rule but can’t remember the specifics of it. That would fit between Matt’s 20-30% rule. I do think in scotland it will be masks anywhere from the queues to get in all the way to when you’re out of the stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantra Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Wonder if they'll make any rules on buying food and drink because the queues for a pint or a snack pre match and at HT are probably biggest risk factors for social distancing, or lack of it. Imagine how long the queue will be if everyone has to be 2m apart. Can't see people taking it seriously for long either. Sorry if this has been mentioned before, I haven't read the whole thread.

Very unlikely that kiosks will be open because of the way the queues go towards the back wall even at the best of times. They’ll want people to spend as little time as possible downstairs so go to the toilet and that’s your lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely clubs will be itching to sell food and drink though, it must bring it a large amount of revenue to clubs at this level. Maybe clubs will go the American route and have someone walking around the seated areas selling hotdogs out of a big thing strapped around their neck. Instead of the club shop open on match days we just have a guy with a T-Shirt cannon. 😂 Edited August 30, 2020 by Mantra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesince63 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) I don’t think it’s the queuing that’s the problem at kiosks as much as people congregating if you can’t take alcoholic drinks back to your seat. Surely it’s much easier in the current circumstances to just take a flask of tea, coffee or bovril if you want a drink at half time and leave the alcohol for celebrating later after we’ve won?

Do they open them and think we’ve got the ticket money anyway for 8k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be up to the club, but I expect the risk of 2,000 people not renewing their season tickets would very much counterbalance even a season’s worth of takings on the concourse.

Marc505 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Maybe too late a stage to start trying to get the permission and stuff in place to do this but I wonder if some penned in outdoor eating & drinking zone could be set up like they have outside the away end at Derby, that way can keep the fixed bars shut and the concourse moving more freely. Wouldn't fancy it in December like, but I rarely drink that flat, frozen shite anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkonion Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 What about opening some of the suites for the match catering? The one under east stand is huge, is it called The Platinum Suite? We have catering all over the stadium, if I remember correctly, that isn't normally open to regular fans that with a little imagination could be utilised if required.

I’ve just received the renewal details for the Platinum Suite this morning (I’ve been pestering them for weeks). If there’s a similar take up to last season and with the new Covid restrictions in force there’ll be no scope to open up that area to other fans I’m afraid.
