Fans Back At VP - A Plan

Has there been any update on this or official comms from the club on whether fans will be allowed into VP and if so how many and then how will the seating plans be organised? Who will get a ticket? Who will get which seats etc etc.
I can see the season starting in September with absolutely no plan. It’ll be chaos on a larger scale than getting Chelsea tickets

 

I would say it’s highly unlikely any fans will be in the ground at first. But didn’t Ryan Sparks say in the T&A that plans were in place for when they were.
The biggest headache will be choosing who can come and who can’t maybe it will those that renewed their season tickets earliest

 

I think it might be age led. I know most won't want to hear it but it's seemingly a lot safer for a young dad and his kids than a 70 something and his wife.

Either way, it's imperative that fans are back into lower league stadiums the minute it's safe to do so and we should all support whatever decisions are taken to enable this to happen as quickly and as smoothly as possible.

 

I’d imagine those in possession of an already renewed season ticket will be in first but then who?
25 yearers? Those who’ve had ST for over 10 years?

 

BCFC will have no say in this, it will be either a government or EFL directive as to answer what happens here....

 

From my point of view i'm not that desperate to get back to football yet, kinda enjoyed my time away.

 

I am really looking forward to getting back but being over 70 I will probably back of the queue with @Bronco

 

I'd be back tomorrow if they'd allow it

 

I haven't got the bug back yet, probably will do nearer the start time.

 

Although I am starting to miss watching during this prolonged spell without football, I would prefer the season didn't start until all fans were allowed back. I know that will not happen, but the more I see games on tv without fans, the more pointless the game looks without fans

 

It will be interesting to see how many fans, if any, are allowed inside and how they implement safe distancing. That said, i've been to Tescos today and it looks like people have given up doing it. If i was vulnerable to Covid 19 i'd think twice about going back to football in the short term, the risk is still too great.

 

It’s going to be a while I see Bradford is close to lockdown again

 

I'd be amazed if next season started fully behind closed doors. Personally I'd expect somewhere between 25-30% to be allowed in initially and then maybe upto 50% by Christmas if infections are still falling and/or the Oxford vaccine is successful.

I see no logical reason as to why that couldn't happen as long as social distancing can be implemented as it's no more dangerous than going to crowded indoor shops/supermarkets.

 

Fans back in stadiums already in France, with no social distancing judging by these pictures

 

Same, I was happy of a break when it happened, although obviously I didn’t want one under them circumstances. But I want normality back, City letting us down every week is about as normal as it can get. Plus I’ve found the football crap without fans in the stadium, it’s just highlighted how important support is in sport.

 

The PL are the key. The EFL are good for nothing. As soon as the Pl is over it will be operation get fans back. The EFL should be doing this instead of talking about salary caps and other rubbish.

The Community Shield is the key and I think that will be the test bed.

However, I think it will be hospitality and match sponsors only

Then I think hospitality and match sponsors and 20-30% with no over 70's(but it won't be worded like that just that over 70's won't get in)

The issue at the moment is the government are saying no shouting or loud music and football or sport drives shouting from fans.

The EFL need to be saying we can't start without some fans.

 

The world's largest vaccine company is in India. It is already manufacturing 100s if millions of doses of 4 variants that are being trialled now, with the hope of launching a vaccine to the public in about 5 weeks, with half for Indians and half for export.

further away than the day Leicester was locked down

 

Interesting that, not heard of this before.

 

I think 5 weeks time is very optimistic. Other reports are talking about start of next year if current trials go really well.
