La Liga in Italy are thinking of allowing limited fans Into matches this season.
IF our season was to start in September, for example, maybe around 2,000 fans could safely attend our home games ??
All subject to Govt Approval of course, but maybe it could be done if the away fans area was also used.
Great to see that we’ve sold over 2,000 season tickets and that the club have extended the early bird deadline until 12th July.

It would IMHO be almost impossible to do. We have limited entrances, little room on the concourses and the toilet areas and everyone is going to want to leave at the same time. If the club can sort that lot out then I'm in favour.

So 600 east, 600 west, 400 north 400 south. And 1000 phantom kids :-)

The games I've seen on TV without crowds are becoming easier to watch. The powers that be and the money men at the top of the pyramid will be seeing how this plays out with interest.

The club seem already willing to allow fans back in the stadium with today’s announcement of a “ Pitchside Restaurant” on Saturday 11th July from 6.15 pm . At least 50 Diners are required and at £25 a head for a 3 course meal, seems reasonable value and I hope the event is a success.
Diners will need to complete a short medical and temperature test courtesy of Dr.Ling 😂😂😂😂😂
Anybody on here going ?! I love the name of one of the desserts “ E10 Mess “ 😂👍

Sounds like a novel approach.

No chance of me going though.

Yeah it's not like you to actually support something the clubs does.

I do all the time just don’t self-publicise my worthiness like some plonkers.

I'm watching the games looking at the big canvas covers over the seats and wondering how much those might generate to a global audience watching streams vs. the ticket revenue of the people who sit in them.

If advertising can bring more money in why bring back the people?
