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

If you're to worry about the % involved in getting covid and it being fatal theres a 100 other things you should shield yourself from too. If you fall under the 'at risk'groups make the choices you feel you need to. The world needs to keep moving as the knock on effects are out weighing the virus itself.

My biggest fear is out of the millions returning to school theres say 1 fatality, while that would be sad (as all deaths are) it would be used as reason for schools not going back.

I'm pleased we are getting back to a little bit of normality but his comment of covid 19 being done is far from the fact, it wont be ever be done it is now another disease that the world has to contend with just waiting to rear its head again so to dismiss it is just ignorant.
I myself use masks when I am told to but away from situations don't but they are there as when I feel the need to use one and I'm classified as vulnerable

I can’t see RL letting in fans for the rest of this season whilst there’s another positive Covid result coming out every week.

I know his comment about it being done is far from fact, as I say (and as you say) I doubt it will be done at any point in the near future.

That is exactly the reason why we need to start getting back to some kind of normality.

RL will let fans back as soon as allowed, they can't afford not to.

Supporterss aren't going to be catching it from players, in fact players don't seem to be catching it from players.
