In our case, while people obviously want to get back in and it might help the team, if we allowed all 8k ST holders in but with severe restrictions on concourse activity etc, would we actually make any significant money? Corporate? If we dont see any games this season, as seems likely, the financial effect on the club will be felt when next year's go on sale, they wont be able to sell at full price to those renewing. So even if we only saw half the games it puts FV in a stronger bargaining position than if we've seen none at all. Then there are the minority that will be demanding full refunds especially if they dont bother with i-follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think people are desperate to return in the same ways people want to go to pubs and shops and visit people - with sensible guidelines and social distancing measures. Its the fact that we cant even have 10% capacity which is most annoying, while everywhere else can (except the tier 3's). I personally would want fans to return just for the spectacle of watching/listening to games even if I wasnt allowed in myself. Games just arent real at the moment. Its infuriating to see the photos from the Palladium the other day, I saw it and thought it was a fake at first. The place looked packed. And yet you still can't spread 1,000 people out across an open stand? It's bullshit. Watched Bosnia v Northern Ireland at weekend it had a small crowd in and it made a world of difference just as a viewing experience. The sound took some getting used to actually, it has been a while.

Johnnyrotten Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Just watched ITV highlights of last night's games...interesting to see around 6,500 at Finland v Ireland in. Just strange to hear and see proper celebrating when they scored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around 6 of us ; usually turning up for the second half ( bit like London away days). Plenty of room , table service . Ok we have to shout at each other but it is putting cash into the hotel. Took advantage of the buy one get one half price meal deals. Bumped elbows with Shazza n Emma. No riff raff. Hope last night was a success , Ashburner St and Mr Smith went ( seperate tables ) . I know Miss Speak ( yes please , cracking rack). Asked where the rest of us were . But will get full report on the evening later today. Remember every bit helps the club at the moment.

COYWM Like I said fair play to the club but under current restrictions can’t see the appeal i can go watching boro have a pint & stand with my mates the idea of sitting on different tables to my mates ain’t for me, ok if I lived closer probably take the lad in but it would work out costly However if Emma is about I might be tempted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
