    I think the more the dust settles on the ins and outs then more people will take this approach. The whole idea for me is to enjoy the routine of match day, dinner at my parents with my lad then sat around the same group i've sat around for years at the game. To be honest i prefer away games anyway and the regime i would have to undertake just to watch a football game now takes the enjoyment out of it. I understand the reasons but sitting in a sterile football stadium away from others following a very strict protocol doesn't interest me in the slightest. The interaction with others is one of the main reasons i go.

    Got ours, got them when the world was a different place as bizarre as that sounds. Probably try it out at the start, but can’t see me taking to it and it’s not the clubs fault just the way it is. Will probably watch most on iFollow, sat in a freezing cold silent stadium in December against some crap like Forest Green just doesn’t inspire me. So probably watch most of the games on iFollow until back end of the season when it’s warmed up, hopefully by then we’ll have lighter restrictions and maybe even be playing half decent football! Hopefully the nightmare will be all over by the summer of 2021 and we can be all back in our seats and actually be allowed to make noise and enjoy our pre and post match rituals again. If any good can come out of this it’s to appreciate life, and things that make you happy even the more trivial things.

    As I’m 50+ with an underlying health issue I really want to go, will buy a season ticket........
    Just not sure if I’ll get a chance to use it!
    Strange times, will give the club my money if not my happy clapping

    Due to my underlying health condition, travelling to, and attending, matches is an unecessary risk for me. I'm also not sure that the sterile atmosphere of a socially distanced Valley Parade is something that would appeal anyway.

    I've held a season ticket continuosly since 1977 however, unless there is an iFollow season ticket package, it will be a no from me.

    I can't see me going in the current climate.

    I enjoy pre-match beers as much as the football. I'm not going to risk going into busy pubs, so that aspect is out.

    I'll get an iFollow for the season and possibly go to see some non-league football more locally for me.

    Salary Cap is maximum we can spend. If the income is only £2m and we have other costs of £1m then it only leaves £1m to spend no matter what the cap is

    And then people moan that there is no communication from the club?

    Honestly, what is wrong with people? It's just a starting point until all the other factors involved allow them more certainty.

    You seem to think everything is easy!

    Is it just me but the message from the club was fine. After all, they don't have all the answers themselves and one has to appreciate a message, with the season less than 4 weeks away.

    Now, I'm one for giving abuse when things (in my eyes) are wrong with a rotten leek but in this case....

    Hey @Lepton Bantam@Lepton Bantam, when all this lockdown is out of the way we should start a BCFC Huddersfield west fan club, as long as it’s an excuse for drinking excessively and talking bollocks I’m happy!!
    Bantam progressivism, onwards and upwards!!

    Wasn't there something about chanting, singing and shouting to be banned? What's the point in attending games and sitting there in silence? Might as well be at home.

    I've already decided not to return until I can do it properly. I'm also considering buying a season ticket to help the club even though I've no intention of attending. But then I began to think if my money would be helping the club or financing fatuous legal support for BRE, or paying off Vaughan or going into Rupp's back pocket. So now I'm not sure what I'll do.

    'Buying a season ticket won't help the club'.
    Well, I think I've heard it all now

    I'll definitely be going, even 50% of games is not bad for £150. It won't be the same but city are in my heart and I can't stay away
