What's it like ar Radcliffe are they on it with restrictons? It's a nice ground guess that makes it a bit easier

Yes reduced numbers it’s all done via that ticketco scan thingy and if there’s any room left they open limited cash turnstile

plenty of room to move about the ground 3 sides covered which will be needed soon 

big function room entry go bar out the other or if you want table service there’s another lounge and a greasy burger van behind goal

Presumably that depends upon the level of compliance he witnessed. Finger crossed all was good.

Well there were no fans there so hopefully!

Well you'd hope so then!

Thought you meant he was watching a game with a few in. Weird.

Sounds brilliant that, I dont think I've seen a fair reflection of how a lot of this is playing out

Definitely puts in perspective how much the traipsing about all over the country is mainly centred spending time with mates and having a day out. CBA watching majority of the games on telly at moment.

Any reasoning behind it?

Would have thought afternoon kick offs would have avoided use of floodlights thereby saving some leccy costs.

They need the income from i-follow presumably, when most people have finished work etc.

I'd still expect way higher numbers than that, its huge for a petition that came from nowhere but in terms of numbers who go to stadiums every weekend it's not that big really. I wonder how much people really do want to go back just now, or whether it's just a storm in a social media teacup.

Glad it's going to be debated again though, but I agree with you it's not going to be on an agenda for a little while yet with the way things are going.

Genuinely don't know the answer to this - have other clubs gone down the flogging STs like we have?

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?

I think more would have signed if it had been before the last week or 2, but the momentum has stalled with the situation deteriorating.  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.

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.
