With reduced capacity...

It's not temporary though. Saying it will last a year a least. So we will not be operating a full capacity next season no matter what.

 

I will be getting an ST as soon as available , my only concern is i ( like a good few others ) travel a fair distance to watch home games , i hope the club come up with a rota or other ideas to prevent me ( and others ) to be turned away . I presume this will already being discussed at VP to put a system in place well before the proposed KO date .

 

They'll certainly have to lower the cost when were starting again in the National League as you're suggesting is the way forward.

 

It’s all about supply and demand. If we can only sell 8000 tickets but 12000 want them then prices absolutely have to increase.
Do you think summer holidays during the 6 week school hols were discounted this year? Quite the opposite in fact

 

Tough! Can’t run a business out of sympathy.

 

Butlins is about 75% compared to last year

 

The fairest way of allocating fans to a game is simply to allow up to16,000 to buy a ST and then split that in half-call each half claret and amber and allocate a colour to a game.

 

Ignore official stats and we had well under 10k at 3 or 4 games last season. I reckon 30%+ will stay away due to the virus to begin with and you'll lose some more if they have to buy tickets each game at £20 in advance. Some dads and lads might not be able to afford. People will pick and choose.

My guess is there'll be 5-6k at each game. Buy your friends and family close together online. Chessboard (alternate) seating with Bradford End and Midland Road closed. Season tickets resume next year. (Not worth half-year hassle.) £90k ticket revenue per game but probably no add-ons like suites. £2.1m per season plus cups, so much the same as now but it will drag commercial revenue down a lot. Total revenue down 25-30%.That could halve the playing budget normally but capped player budgets look like they might do that anyway. If Danes are already playing at 30% capacity, with 5-7k at some bigger clubs, and French up to 5k. I see no problem with all this.

France is planning 50% at French Open tennis in September.

A small number of Celtic Fans are travelling away PSG for a friendly on Tuesday, as France looks to ease a bit more.

The fairest way is simple.

Ok.. Let's base his on 5k fans...

Step 1) Those that have paid their season ticket already need refunding
Step 2) Make sure that 1k fans are hospitality and corporate. Sorry money comes 1st.
Step 3) Work out how many 25 year season ticket holders we have. Try make it 1k only.
Step 4) Increase the prices to £200 season tickets
Step 5) No Felix Card. Make announcement
Step 6) Make announcement families might not be able to seat together
Step 7) Season tickets on-sale online only first come first serve
Step 8) Put a programme on website blocking anyone over 70 getting a season ticket.

Done... 4k season tickets sold...1k hospitality and corporate.. No over 70's

 

Lets just close the place down and all stay at home....job done..

 

A few on here seem to want that . The ITK crowd who know everything there is to know about everything , from running the country - to the Pandemic- to running a football club .

 

Honestly, it won't be as simple as let the fans back in.

 

I believe there will not be hospitality for a time how long that is no one knows at the moment, so you can take your step 2 out.
I think any business trying to play the ageism card will get a few legal challenges, is ageism any less serious than racism ?

 

I

I think you need to get a copy of the 85 page EFL manual on what needs to happen for start up then rethink your comments.
Too much guessing on here, leave it to the Club.

 

Good luck to the them it will be a nightmare

 

Oh its 100% guess work mate.

However, as I say non joking it won't be as easy as saying as all come back but one thing for sure it's highly unfair that those who have paid already get 1st go...That's just not right.

 

If you do no over 70s the number of 25 yr holders will probably drop significantly

 

If you're obese then you might get added to the list also..Boris going to town on the big people now.

 

Fordy's proposal is illegal. Discrimination on grounds of age.
