Certainly some challenges but not insurmountable. Given the equivalent of about 4 people are infected with the virus in the whole of NE Lincs atm (Public Health England figures) good to see this is being discussed Logged Offline 5 0 TownSNAFU5 July 10, 2020, 11:32am Whiskey Drinker Posts: 3,855 Posts Per Day: 0.99 Reputation: 71.54% Rep Score: +30 / -13 Location: York Approval: +3,414 The toilets closed would be a severe set-back for drinkers, old men and probably fans driving long distances. Maybe they could come up with a workable solution?  (Not nappies or pads). 😟[mail][/mail] Logged Online 8 0 Reply: 1 - 50 Lincoln Mariner 56 July 10, 2020, 11:57am Cocktail Drinker Posts: 1,517 Posts Per Day: 0.47 Reputation: 81.22% Rep Score: +18 / -4 Approval: +3,021 No toilets to me is a non- starter and totally unrealistic. To expect that in a crowd of 3000 people nobody will require the toilet over a two hour period is laughable. I expect crowds to return on a limited basis but also believe this will not be done without access to the loo.

Could perhaps temp seating allow for an increase in overall capacity to the point where this has no impact?

We've all discussed on here plenty of times about certain bowel conditions, which when not great, mean you can visit the toilet a ridiculous amount of times in a day Logged Offline 5 0 Reply: 5 - 50 Grantham_Mariner July 10, 2020, 12:42pm Season Ticket Holder Posts: 3,263 Posts Per Day: 0.71 Reputation: 94.04% Rep Score: +22 / 0 Location: NG31 9LP Approval: +1,779 Quoted from bax Interesting article here on discussions to start the new season on 12 Sep with up to 50% of fans. 50% of capacity. Where are Scunny going to find an extra 2000 fans.   If the football is bad you can always watch the gulls.

The authorities always seem to be draconian with rules for football fans compared to the rest of the country. Maybe we could install more temporary bogs to reduce crowding, it's not rocket science.

As someone who never gets into the ground before 1455 this would be a worry. Imagine being told you need to be in your seat way before KO on those freezing January BP nights.
