All depends on the test events but I suppose, but you'd have to expect the first few weeks to be behind closed doors at least.

You'd have to think that they'll try to limit the games behind closed doors at this level to an absolute minimum. Clubs can't survive putting on those games without the match day revenue for very long at all. 

 

I'd suggest putting regulations in place at first with socially distanced seating and only groups of households allowed to sit together and maybe even the requirement of masks being worn.

Be ST holders only initially. If that doesn’t drive people to get one to get their football fix along with this new wave of positivity, nothing will 

[Johnnyrotten]

Straight away season tickets have to be cheaper than they would be with a "full" season.  Which if anything will encourage more people to commit to buy one.  Fixtures will have to be released before S/T prices finalised to work out how many matches will be missed as a minimum.  With a condition thrown in that refunds will be given for any game we arent allowed to attend.

Someone mentioned this either in here or another thread but other clubs have already been selling tickets, think I saw Exeter and Scunthorpe for example, and looking at Exeter their tickets look to have gone up not down albeit not by much.

I can see 2 options, 1 a full price ticket, take your chances on how many are behind closed doors, or 2 same price as last year for the same number of games we paid for - was it 18?

[Steejay]

Gutted at missing any game atm.

Fuckin hell, it would have been great in Parky's last season.

'Sorry lads, it's behind closed doors'. Cue a loud 'Thank fuck for that.'

open the whole ground ST holders only should be no issue distancing 

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Looking at that time frame, we're looking at more midweek matches. Could do with these being away ideally.

Agreed

But only if people don't sit in their usual areas

Anyway, if masks are worn, why can't we be at 50% capacity, minimum

[Steejay]

Hasn’t our leader advised that there can’t be any spectators at sports events before October 1?

 I might have dreamt that.🤔

Definitely.  Because when you play in the fact that families can sit together, that leaves extra empty seats to the next person.

It still doesnt help us get tickets for away games at these small grounds though.

Will depend upon success of test events and any evidence of the "winter effect" too. Wouldn't take any date as gospel at the moment.

Anyway,  presumably the upper tiers will need a greater degree of distancing...

Does the smell of piss And werthers originals up there not act as a natural deterrent for sitting too close up there anyway?

I reckon a fair few died up there in recent seasons too, but no bugger noticed as everyone was bored/frozen stiff.

Aye, that’s how everyone’s feeling atm.

Loving our club is a great leveller, whatever our ages, our jobs, our incomes etc

We’re all like little kids waiting to follow our team, having a pint with mates, and shouting our heads off.

Are we there yet?

Please, please let us attend that. Its 1.8 miles away from my house. In my whole life I’ve never had a BWFC game that I could actually walk to

It’s a Mrs Manc drop off tbh but it’s also a skanky pub crawl if needs be
