Fans allowed back

Dunno where this is from but two things

1. That is 8 weeks away and if you're still not allowed more than 30 at a wedding or to go bowling I'd say that will be much further down the agenda
2. If it does happen it will be with massive caveats and I'd have thought 20% capacity tops will be allowed
 
Doubt it since the government has put on hold crowd trials at various sporting and other events. There may be a pro rata slippage to the 1st October date, but let’s see what happens over the coming weeks.
 
There is just no way all fans will be back by 1st October
People can get married with up to only 30 guests yet they cannot have a wedding reception
No live entertainment allowed
We are just going to wait before I buy 4 season tickets to see what the government say
Can’t see fans returning at full capacity until there’s a vaccine well into next year if at all
 
Sat outside, wearing a mask - I don't see the issue?

Obviously the concourse is an issue but surely a 1 way socially distanced queue can be formed (like going into supermarkets)?
 
Turn styles are high risk contact points, there isn’t much space to get along the rows when people are already in their seat. I just don’t see it being possible for some time yet at BFC

There's been a massive amount of compliance right through this thing. A couple of stewards in each aisle can 'remind' any transgressors, the rest is down to personal responsibility and peer pressure, just like in supermarkets, pubs and public transport.

pretty sure the early guide lines were either 20-25% of capacity, not sure how they choose who though ?
longest season ticket holders ?
 
Went to a Step 7 PSF Non league game last saturday with covid restrictions in place..... this week new instructions have come out that fans are no longer allowed even at that level. Cricket isn't a problem though, just a case of following the guidance. Odd thing is you can still get hammered in your local pub.
 
this was always the proposed date, however I expected last weeks hold on easements to have affected the date.

There has also been a certain amount of non- compliance too. As regards peer pressure in supermarkets etc, have you ever tried telling a 6’4 bloke built like a brick outhouse to wear a mask as I did last week. I won’t print his reply, but it wasn’t “ oh I’m sorry I will put one on immediately “. Good job that although I am in my 70s I am still fit enough to beat a hasty retreat.😳
 
I can't agree with the compliance part, everywhere you go people think they know better.

Nipped in to a little Tesco yesterday, huge sign on the doors stating please wear a mask, if you don't have one ask the staff...... lo and behold at least 2 people that i saw in a small store were not wearing one.
Multiply that by thousands in stadia and as has been said higher up, we're our own worst enemy.

And that's what pisses me off about this.

I can get hammered in a pub, go on a plane copped up in a metal tube, go to the supermarket, park. Even go on 60k demo through London and have a riot at the d of it but I cannot attend a footie match socially distanced.

Dont even start me on Dominic Cummings!!!!

There's a consultation document about a return to crowds online where the criteria are set out. Social distancing within the ground, ticket only in advance with provision of track and trace contact details, down to local authorities to determine whether away fans are allowed, and that will be determined by capacity after home season ticket holders are allocated seats. May have to arrive at a set time in advance of kick off to avoid turnstile congestion, with back row seats being filled first to avoid having to edge past people on the way in. Miss your time, you don't get in.

No last minute rush from the Excelsior

Why the snide remarks about the Excelsior boys.

We have to get this shit moving.

The problem with that is that too many will get their masks off at the earliest opportunity.
You can't trust some people to stick to the rules.
What about drinking under the stands? Will it happen, or will the ground be dry? No puns about the weather please.

Sounds grim
 
Has there been any mention at all of away fans? Can’t imagine the Govt will want people swirling the germs around the country. Be very strange if the away side scores to deathly silence. Be interesting to see what impact that has on sway victories.

Why would you say he/she?...Wiz has never hidden behind a keyboard and most fans know who HE is. The muckers are a passionate and important vocal group of our support base and without them there would be little atmosphere in the ground. I am sure Wiz knows that as much as anyone and he wouldnt mean any offence...he is merely pointing out that many fans turn up late from the pub...there is nowt wrong with that under past regulations but may be different under Covid.
