tier 2 is 2000 or 50% whichever is the smaller
4000 or 50% whichever is the smaller
Is it, I had only read that 4k figureIt’s 50% of capacity in tier 1 or 2
How on earth are they going to maintain the level of social distancing we've seen in other countries when they've started letting fans back in and have 50% capacity?4000 or 50% whichever is the smaller
You could have a baltic pie to warm you upBe nice to actually go and support the team again in person, but yeah struggling to summon the enthusiasm to go to a silent St Andrews on a baltic Wednesday night with 2000 or so fans spread about
Smallheath T3 for sure unfortunately - it a very busy community
Do you want to have another guess now?Zero chance before Xmas
40% chance March 1st
60%. chance April 1st

We have season tickets but travel from Hampshire...I wonder how / if that will be monitored / checkedI still think we won’t be allowed. It will be homes fans only all over the country. As we’re in a different city I just can’t see them allowing thousands of people to go from one area to another, mingle in pubs, go to the stadium and then back to where they came from.
The government seem to be keen to tell people we aren't out of the woods and not to be complacent with the vaccine on the horizon, but then take actions which suggest they are doing exactly that.Interesting point about the numbers now compared to when the plug was pulled on test events.
I agree with you - Awkward one for the authorities to consider as they probably haven’t another example but I think a non-starter –Currently Birmingham are in tier 2 (not 3 like people are saying) the same as Cov -m if both stay in the same tier 2 it still will be doubtful due to the strict travelling rules and car sharing etc –I still think we won’t be allowed.

Would assume if there's any doubt it will just be a no. We'll have to wait and see what is being done to stop fans moving around the country in general. How are they going to allocate tickets and ensure they only end up in the hands of people who don't need to travel?I agree with you - Awkward one for the authorities to consider as they probably haven’t another example but I think a non-starter –Currently Birmingham are in tier 2 (not 3 like people are saying) the same as Cov -m if both stay in the same tier 2 it still will be doubtful due to the strict travelling rules and car sharing etc –

Agree with that too. Although it sounds like accomodating 4000 fans could cost clubs money rather give any relief.I think it's fairly obvious the government have done this as a compromise in order to mitigate the PR fallout from their refusal to bail out the EFL, despite offering financial aid to other sports.
I have to say though as Chief Dave as well as others have pointed out, whilst it's a compromise, it's a reckless one.

Was listening to the owner of an NHL hockey team and he said they've modelling needing to leave a minimum of 2 seats in every direction around every group of supporters. Said it would likely be around a quarter capacity and definitely no more than a third - dependent on how many people were in each group.

I guess there would be no beverage income as they wouldn’t be allowed to open. Think how tight it is at Stans around the bars.I would venture in our case those up to 4000 have already paid for their seats so it would cost in terms of Stewarding ! police , closing the roads ? Small amount of beverage income to cover - hand sanitizer etc - doesn’t make sense
