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

Maybe they could come up with a workable solution?  (Not nappies or pads). 😟[mail][/mail]

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? Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

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

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.
