Load of crap. Just make it mandatory to wear face masks and crack on as normal.


That's the answer. Everyone who enters the ground wears a mask throughout the match (apart from eating and drinking) . No exceptions. No shaking hands with people you haven't seen in months.

Everybody, and that means EVERYBODY, has to be sensible.

The power of consultation and the fishy demonstrated in this thread. Assuming BP has 9000 capacity a maximum of 4500 allowed in for each game, so a massive marketing campaign to make sure you secure your ticket. 2 free GTFC face masks per season ticket.
When and if things get back to normal you can select your normal or preferred seat so away fans can be allowed back in the Osmond. Toilets have to be open with a steward managing queues etc.
Not sure how they manage bars and catering but there must  be a way? When I've been to the new Spurs stadium they have guys with back packs walking round selling plastic bottles of lager to punters who can't be bothered to queue at the bar. Maybe that might work?
UTM and get it back on

If it is season ticket holders there really needs to be a big push to sell as many as we can as it will be some time before we get any normal match day ticket revenue so the season ticket sales will be our main form of income, we can't just take a back seat and be happy with 3000 like we always are.

Just been announced .......

Every third seat on every other row will be used, admission includes a Cheese Burger and cup of Bovril (Delivered to your seat 1 hr before you arrive). One fan every 10 mins will be allowed through the turnstile (Yes just the one) so to guarantee entry before kick off it will open a 6 am. (Suggest you start queuing around 3 am.) Face masks must be worn and can only be removed for eating, drinking, smoking and shouting at the referee. . Flasks will be allowed but they must be welded to a chain and padlocked to your seat, so you can't throw them. Every seat will be turned into a commode (Bring your own toilet roll and bleach), the continence of which must not be thrown at the referee, but taken home with you after the game. Stewards will be equipped with tazars  to enforce social distancing, or just on people they don't like the look of. After the game one person every ten minutes can exit, last one out by 11.45 pm.

It's not as bad as it looks....you don't have to have the Cheese Burger

Might be time for the Govt to allow temporary standing - that might be easy to manage. Then we could have some temporary standing areas installed.

If you say:
1. Compulsary masks.
2. Chanting, shouting banned
3. you work out 1 meter square distances for each seat used.
4. Households don't need to socially distance.
5. No away fans.
6, Longer half times for toilets (and bring extra portaloos)
7. Govt covers cost of policing
8. Allow people to buy Ifollow tickets

You could get a situation where we could probably get 1500-2000 in the ground safely and make it financially viable.

I would have thought it would be easier to manage fans social distancing who are sat down rather than standing as it is easier to move about standing than sitting.
