Especially if they are all spread out around the entire stadium. Having said that, it makes more sense to contain them within one stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also some of the lower league clubs have have capacity of not much more than that The other thing is its unfair on lower leagie clubs as some twams can get revenue while others cant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking about the bigger grounds. You’re right that ideally they should wait until all fans are allowed back in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Will the premier league teams go with 2k? Seems it would cost a lot more. Before we even get to the integrity of the league and fairness of some are allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Cant see how clubs get an advantage when you can't sing, cheer, celebrate goals, stand, drink alcohol and have to wear mask for circa 2hrs?.. Just glorified cardboard cutouts that have to pay!.. If that's the way to watch live football I would rather eat my own hands!.. About as much use as a pair of tits on a fish!.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It's not safe to have too many people in the ground, but all of the people we can let in can go in this 1/4 of the ground", that's utter madness.

OutByEaster? Posted November 27, 2020 Moderator Share Posted November 27, 2020 At Villa Park everyone would be in the Lower Holte End. 1 hour ago, Kingman said: Cant see how clubs get an advantage when you can't sing, cheer, celebrate goals, stand, drink alcohol and have to wear mask for circa 2hrs. You are allowed to do all the stuff you normally do - albeit from behind your mask - it'll just be weird because you'll be isolated, it won't feel like being part of a crowd, it'll be just odd. It'll be interesting to see who has the courage to get to their feet and sing at the top of their voice when it feels like you're doing it on your own. As an experience, it'll be less like going to a football match and more like watching a football match on TV but live - if that makes sense. I genuinely think that if we get to take 2,000 on Boxing day, we might struggle to find enough season ticket holders that want to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, so will I. My understanding is that earlier this week around 4,000 people had uploaded photos to the site, so if it does go ahead, at the moment, you have a fair chance of getting in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capacity isn't really about seating - it's about separation on entry and getting people from entrance to seat without them mixing - the Holte End car park is the bit that makes it practical. The whole car park would be fenced off with a pathway from the gate to the seat, no stopping in concourses and no mixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 It’s 2000 fans spaced out, not allowed to eat, drink or sing. So basically like being in the trinity road stand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
