KNVB announce protocol for fans in stadium 20/21 season

[MadAmster]

Roughly this...........

No away fans.
Social distancing applies which reduces capacity to between 20% and 40% of the old capacity
No singing
No shouting
No cheering
Goals for will be reacted to with maybe a horn and and a quietly spoken Hooray


If people don't obey then it could well be back to empty stadiums

Sounds like just another day at the City ground. I assume this is Cloggie football league rules?

It'll be only two people at a time in the toilets too. At least you might be able to get a pint and pie a bit quicker! On an honest note there is no way that could work!

Hard to sing or shout with full PPE on anyway

I’m with MoP on this one...just won’t work. As regards PP - and the majority of UK grounds - if the capacity is reduced to approximately 30% how will that affect season ticket holders? Surely such fans make up at least 65% of Derby’s crowds...probably a much higher percentage for the likes of the top Premier League clubs.

They will simply sell season tickets for, say, every 3 games, so everyone gets about 8 games a season, and reduce prices accordingly. It will be just chance if you get good games or bad ones - or you could buy 3 season tickets!

I think, I no longer have one, most season tickets have already been bought, GP...either that or they’re being bought in instalments over the original length of the forthcoming season.

I agree GP, given the choice, I would think most ST holders would rather attend a third of the games compared to no games. You would get a discount and a Rams TV pass also.

The ground would not need to have every seat socially distanced either. It would be simple to analyse season ticket membership and identify how many groups of 2,3,4 or more STs live at single addresses. These groups could then be allocated groups of seats together.

It would also benefit the players and TV, to have some kind of natural atmosphere in the ground.

So that will need to be be scrapped and accounting redone. If its the only way to get crowds in, it will have to happen. The money received will have to go back anyway unless solutions such as this can be found.

How will Forest sell all their tickets
