    It won't be a case of financially worth it. As the EFL guide appears stadium capacity looks like being no more than 30% max, as already speculated by some on here. For small grounds such as Crawley, FGR and several others that % will be taken up purely by home fans who clubs will cater for first. In our case at that % with our S Ticket sales there will be no spare room but who knows it may change.

    Without looking I don't know but someone on here might. Are there any clubs that don't regularly fill a third of their ground

    I assume the EFL document hasn't been made public. However, I assume that it is based upon the government's guidance document "Elite sport - return to competition: safe return of spectators", as well as probably the "Sports Ground Safety Authority" document posted above, both of which have been made public. I would, of course, expect the EFL document to be much more detailed and tailored to the EFL competition.

    A few bits that the government's guidance includes:

    Would be weird if the EFL document was the exact same length as the SGSA one

    Looking at those five points, then I would think that:-
    • Highly likely that the entrance would be restricted to Season Ticket holders, so no ‘purchase’ on the day. If there was greater capacity than tickets sold, then they could be posted out, so sales would have to end several days before the match.
    • The club would have to consider pre-match food/drink sales, but there should be enough space to accommodate those who want it. Food & drink away from the ground, would be the responsibility of the vendors.
    • I tend to arrive fairly late. There are small queues To get into VP. Marking areas out with two metre lines, on approach to the turnstiles should not be too difficult.
    • I anticipate that supporters current arrangements for car parking should be fine. I am only aware of one former supporter/poster who went to the game by bike.
    • In respect of going to the pub, I guess the footfall would be significantly reduced. Again the license holders would have to implement systems to comply with guidance/regulation. Not sure about the ‘one way’ travel restrictions, that should be something the council considers. For instance similar systems to the ones that are in place around transport hubs during the ‘rush hour’ and school starting times.

    Reading this location of fan will have to be taken in to consideration. In others word @Park bantam@Park bantam for example won't be able to attend. I think it WILL HAVE TO be radius (Bradford based and maybe, maybe Leeds/Halifax based only) and 100% season ticket sales only.

    Also only 6 people from 2 households.

    The club has to appoint a chief medial officer.

    A gate has to be open at all times

    It's not straight forward this for City at all.

    But it is no more complicated for City than the other clubs in the league

    A lot of clubs do local sales only anyway.

    Bradford City create their own problems. Keep on saying...Refund those that have paid already. What is the club waiting for?

    You couldn’t just have Halifax, it would have to be all of Calderdale.

    What about those down in Cleckheaton, which is in Kirklees?

    BD postcodes include places such as Horton in Ribblesdale and Settle nearly 40 miles from Bradford.

    Not saying it is ‘straight forward’ at all.

    Are you claiming there are some clubs that refuse to sell season tickets to their fans if they have moved away from the town/city? If so please name one

    Mate, sorry but it's not about that. If it's your journey to the game and increased possibilities .

    Clubs are going to have to think about doing closest to the pin(ground) and work the way out.

    I might not be able to go.
