    You probably could, you just can't organise it that way.

    I'm guessing that they believe that if they allowed people to book in blocks of 10-12 or more that the social distancing between the two groups would eventually break down. This would therefore look like they were going against the 6 person maximum guidance of the government.

    Even if 14k are sold, there will never be 7000 in attendance as I'm in no doubt that plenty of season tickets will be purchased with the sole intention of watching on ifollow.

    Knock on effect of this will be that the club can never maximise income on match days as they have to assume everyone will come to allocated matches.

    Potential match day ticket sales. People with no intention of coming don't need a seat allocation and that seat could be instead sold alongside any available match to match seats.

    Appreciate that's a similar issue on a normal season when ST holders don't come to a match but the situation is much different this season

    An option to purchase but at the same time, opt out of actually coming to VP shudda been an option. With access to ifollow instead. If the ground restrictions open up before the season ends then you'd just miss out as inclusive ifollow would end too. Even if not that many took up that option, I'm sure some would. Which would free up availability for additional sales

    Won't the stadium be set up for 7000 social distancing ?, club won't know until 3.00pm (or after) whether all 7000 have turned up, would have though it would be difficult to accommodate walk ins...

    That's what I was expecting to happen if the club does sell 14,000 ST'S. But I'm not expecting that to be the case. If say 10,000 are sold as an example, that would allow 2,000 match day tickets to be sold. And I'd expect something like that to be being worked on by the club.

    I would expect they would only be available to season ticket holders of the other colour

    That's my point. I won't be alone in not taking up my seat for every game I'm allocated (some won't go at all). That's potentially the price of a match day ticket the club miss out on if they want 7000 there every match.

    Can’t see any other way round it unless they introduced an extra flexI card For first pick

    But the club won't know who isn't turning up 'til it's too late...
