    I like your optimism but we must be realistic. It's important to remain unbeaten for the sake of morale. An outstanding tally would be 14 points or 12 points. 10 points would still be a decent return. 8 points I would say is average but you'd ideally want more. 6 points, 4 points or fewer wouldn't really kick us on for the season but it is important to remain unbeaten.

    Have to disagree some what. iFollow has been around a few years now, if it was going to have a serious impact on attendances it would have already. Simon makes some good points in his post, most fans of lower league clubs go for the love of their club and the love of live sport which can’t be replicated through some average internet stream. In fact I think Covid will make people more hungry for live football when they get sick of the iFollow coverage, which will be pretty quick.

    Imperative that we remain unbeaten.

    Until clubs get to the point where their capacity is enough to let all their season ticket holders in i don't see away fans being allowed in. Also with away fans comes more risk of disorder and people a lot less likely to follow social distancing etc as well as the added pressure on transport links and police.

    Now we see how the Claret and Amber works and what problems this causes.

    If it is alternative, 1 claret then 1 amber, (presuming all games were available which I don't think they will be)

    Claret would have

    Saturday,
    Saturday,
    Saturday,
    Saturday,
    Saturday,
    Tuesday (being Christmas Week)
    Saturday,
    Saturday,
    Tuesday,
    Saturday,
    Saturday,
    Saturday.

    Amber would have

    Saturday,
    Tuesday,
    Tuesday,
    Tuesday,
    Saturday,
    Saturday,
    Saturday,
    Tuesday,
    Saturday,
    Friday,
    Tuesday

    Clearly everyone would opt for Claret on that basis and so the fall out begins, as Tuesday nights are barely attended anyhow.

    Just think it's a brutal schedule. Potentially multiple months with 8 fixtures.
    Thought they'd extend into may a bit further to ease the pressure a bit. Adding the pointless efl trophy only makes matters worse. Suppose we progress in either cup (i know, optimistic), we need to have a big squad as we could (and any club) be hit badly with injuries due to the workload

    Yeah, I agree, that's a better idea to incorporate the ACTUAL name of the stadium even when incorporating a sponsor.

    The Summat or Other Solicitor's Stadium means nothing to me, I've no idea if I've heard of that stadium before or not, or if it's new, old, whatever.

    Heritage is more important than some tacky sponsors name for a few readies!

    How would changing it from ABAB (or CACA if we use their names) to ABBA change things?

    you can’t opt in for any can you? Thought the club allocated you a claret or amber?

    You can’t lay it at solely Rupp’s door. That’s a very narrow minded view.
