Fans Back At VP - A Plan

Further uodate on getting us back into Valley Parade by October latest !

A couple of seasons back I went to Germany to the Revier Derby Schalke v Dortmund. In the away corner about 3-4000 BVB fans rocked up in black chemical PPE suits and masks ! What a spectacle that was. Their modus operandi was to simply avoid being exposed to "Schalke virus" ?!.

So lets relate that rather extreme fan reaction to now when we might actually need or feel a bit more reassured by wearing PPE to avoid catching lurgy ?. So lets get knocking up some City PPE ! See we have already launched masks at a £10er proceeds to NHS.

Next job we need up to 12000 Bio chemical suits along the lines of Police Crime Incident lightweight suits. In Claret & Amber of course £20 a pop sounds right much needed revenue for club. Dont forget your City facemask and a pair of gloves. Stick them in your car boot and don them afore you set off to walk to the ground.

At the ground the club has to set up "disinfectant shower" facilities in front of the walk up to the turnstile to show your eletronic season ticket. Your doused with disinfectant as you walk in. Take your seat which will be marked out with a metre sq social distance.
Game on !

End of game walk back out threw the :shower" for exit decontamination. Walk back to car put your Bio Chem City suit in a bag in your boot. Chuck it in washer at 60 degrees soon as you get in.

Players & officials only ones need a test to make sure they are all safe on pitch. We"re all happy; back to a kind of normal.

You can take this idea forward into many settings that look finished otherwise. If anyones got a better idea I'd like to hear it ?. Certainly we cannot wait for the Govt or the Science to get us into VP and save the club. Got to be brave and innovative to do that.

 

Here we go ! glad to say some in Football are starting to think things through. We have to otherwise the entire Football Pyramid below the Championship is in danger of financial collapse. Football L1 and below NEEDS YOU & I otherwise clubs are out of existance.

Common sense has to prevail and that as I have already stated means fans back in October latest for the new season 2020-21. But back in a slighty different way. It wont mean all of us at every home game. As this article says in the DM it may (as I have put forward) mean stadiums open to only a quarter of their capacity ? So 6000 at VP. But we will be back in part.

Season tickets will be on sale before August is out. A ticket will cover access to games and Ifollow coverage. There will be no Away fans. There will be no children (as these are difficult to manage in this context) so tickets will only be available to those Over 18 years. There will be no Over 70s for their own sake. But the rest of us good to go.

We have to get innovative and work together to Save Our Football and Clubs. If we do we will survive and thrive beyond this crisis.

Bollox to Covid19 no ones turning me into a "cardboard cut out"

Sorry Bronco nothing personal to your goodself or Park but it is probably going to be that way at least to begin with. There will definitely be a period of "suck it and see"? If things go well then it would be opened up to our more "senior fans". But the temporary "compensation" could be free access to Ifollow for the games. Its not fair I agree you and Park are likely spritley for your years. But for what will be percieved as a higher risk event gathering there will be perameters at both ends of the scale. Dont forget I am suggesting clubs temporarily excluded those Under 18 for reasons of effective control and management.

We need fans at L1 level and below as soon as safe & possible. It will need innovation and good management. But I am confident if those of us who form the "advanced party" show and prove it workable. You will not be that far behind the lines long. Dont take it personal; talk of infringment of rights by some off the mark. Lets keep positive; use common sense and we will all be back at Valley Parade in the forseeable future.

Stuart McCalls Bradford Army !

 

None of that is going to happen ? Just like the daily news feeds gloom & doom. The 2m rule will be 1m which debunks that theory. Just trust me we will find a way to safely seat a quarter of our season ticket holders in Valley Parade by October. We will be permitted 6000 we might manage 10000 season tickets. Measured on a capacity of 24000 we will be at a live game 1 in 2 initially and watching on Ifollow if not. Lets be positive and innovate !

I like your thinking ! We cannot must not get bogged down in being initially upset about how and who is allowed into live football ? . We must first and foremost find the ways to make that a reality. It has to happen to save our club; others too and the game at its roots. It makes no difference that some may have to sit it out on the bench initially. Its getting some fans back to the stadiums that will avoid losing the game to us all.
