    If crowds are allowed, will you go? What about if only reduced crowds are allowed?

    Hypothetically, if games do resume in September and normal crowds are allowed would you go?

    I calculated, if social distancing was to be maintained then possibly the 3 seats either side of you and the two rows both immediately in front of and behind you would be empty. That would roughly mean about 1 person every 12 seats or an NYS capacity of 1000. Would you go if this was they case, much safer but very lonely?

    Surely same household would sit together.

    I couldn’t really say until the that time comes tbh but it would have to be highly safe for me to even consider

    No I wouldn’t go (even though I’m sure iv had it already) it’s not worth the risk.

    As for your second point it wouldn’t happen who would be chosen to sit in them 1000 seats out of 7000 season tickets, my neighbour suggested the exactly the same thing and I simply said this Pete if I was called and got to go to football and you wasn’t would you stand for that? He said no he wouldn’t

    But yes if I was chosen to go in a 1000 crowd I would

    It may be possible to use the seating plan to choose which 1000 people can attend.
    Perhaps be sensible and stipulate that there can be no away fans which would help with distasncing in confined spaces such as train carriages and buses
    This would increase the area for home fans by say 25% and therefore perhaps 1500 or 2000 could attend.
    If there are 7500 regular home fans then take it in turn and everyone gets to see one match in every 4 or 5.
    Not great but it's something

    So only 4 games for a £390 season ticket?

    We are not in lockdown now.
    It’s restricted movements and it’s not been adhered to. You have just as much risk in our local COOP. People stood less than a metre apart. Look at the queuing at B&Q nobody can tell me that’s safe?
    I would attend games if it’s deemed safe to do so.

    Pay whatever people can afford to help with operating costs.
    Minimum £25 per match

    Then don't forget we may have to wear face masks as well so when we get a corner it will be whum on who weds and other muted songs!

    One of the reasons I posted this was because in a local poll, over 50% of Seattle Seahawks (NFL) season ticket holders said they wouldn't be attending the games even if they are allowed. All this considering season tickets are sold out and on average are $2,000 for an 8 game season but there's probably a fear of giving them up as there's a multi-year waiting list to get one.
