There are around 450 Covid patients in English hospitals at the moment. That's less than one patient in three hospitals. I believe the rolling average for deaths is around 6-7 per day.

I understand Harlequins in union are trialling crowds in one of their fixtures. The country needs to get back to normality.

Does this belong to you?

LOL Brilliant.

The problem is not letting people back into the ground, it is way do you start. How many do you let it and which part of the ground do you start with. If it was left to GH he would try and fill the place, look at the facts,
A crowd limit of 21,000, some say season ticket holders amount between 9,000 to 10,000. So where do you start to fill the stadium.
What about the corporate season ticket holders. look at the directors suite and the emerald suite, some have tables of 10, some have more. who do you let in the chap with one / two tickets or the corporate ticket holders who carry more weight and pay the best part of £200 per ticket per game.
Candidly its going to be a disaster, GH wont want to upset the corporate people, he knows if he upsets them there is a lot of money to hand back. guys no easy solution here. Its going to be a total disaster and a nightmare.

Surely the corporate seats with the meals act just like restaurant would? its no different in principle.

As for normal season ticket holders, if there is only 3,000 tickets available just let ST holders apply on a first come first served basis, there will never be a totally fair way to do it or an easy way but that's not a reason not to try.

How many fans would have to be let in to make it profitable?

Maybe something similar to Bradford City who are selling STs and you are either a "Claret" or "Amber" ticket holder and they hope to alternate every week between the two. Although their ticket prices are about half of ours and they have twice as many matches! I doubt people will be too willing to fork out 300 quid for 5 or 6 matches. Would we be prepared/able to drop our ST prices pro rata?

How do we know weve a game on 30th? Fixtures have only been announced for next weekend havent they?

Radlinsky saying they would consider playing at Midnight if the government don’t let them have crowds in on the 30th - that would be interesting

Is the free app to continue until we are allowed back in?

oh dear another one who thinks hes immortal
