I think it would be sensible to ask for 'volunteers' who can't or don't want attend to inform the club first, people will be booking a lot of Holidays too. Then the rest of passholders who want to go would have to be put in a ballot, with those who missed out on one game getting priority for the next game.

It'll be organised chaos anyway, roughly 3 out of 4 passholders will have to be allocated a different seat.

Can be done by assigning fans a block and making seats unreserved but advise you have to sit so many seats and rows away from the next household/bubble group. And give set timeslots for arrival, if you're late you're not going in.



Some will still go wandering about to sit with their mates they've haven't seen for ages though, it'd be very hard to Police.

Does any one know what we have to pay the Allam’s?



I thought we had the original deal of keeping the revenue from the first 7,500 fans and then share 50% on all gate revenue above that with the SMC?

I rely to your enquiry we do pay a percentage deal on every ticket sold but in addition when we closed the North Stand as an away end it was because we were being charged an extra £30,000 to keep it open if I remember correctly and I believe the same went for the South end as well, I think we maybe pay that to keep that open now. Their argument being that we could get our full average gate in the other two sides. But my memory might be wrong on that one.

..... The North Stand holds 4000, so we'd initially be allowed 1000 spectators in there.



That's £30 per head just to break even.

No need to open the North stand, would it be financially prudent to do so in any case?



One row and 3 seats separation is more than enough for those that feel concerned, groups of two households can mix in any case by time the ground is opened to fans so there's no need to separate everyone and thus more than enough space in two if not three stands.



Simply passing people going to the toilets/drink or going to/from your seats is not a transmission thing in any case despite the propaganda by government, but whatever, I won't be one of the ones attending.



ATEOTD the club need to come up with a solution to how they allocate in a fair manner, if there's greater demand than seats available precedence to those with 2 or more from the same household/bubble would surely be prudent in any case.

I wonder how that's going to work, answers on a postcard.....

i see cas want to host a one of the test events for fans back in the ground before may 17th....surely all seater grounds would be more safer for test events , like seats on trains and buses etc, can be taped off and spread out

I think that's £30,000 a season

That sounds cheap for the SMC.
