Return of league 2, 12th Sept (merged)

I wonder if games on ifollow  will increase in price from the usual tenner? (I’m assuming all will be available, home and away including Saturdays)

It sure if this has been mentioned previously, and if so apologies.

But there’s been mention here of reduced capacity (50%) when the season restarts. If so, :

if/when a goal is scored, how can you stop people celebrating?

If capacity is reduced then am guessing the osmond would be used As I’d assume it’s ‘home fans only’ And how would this be policed?

If there is a large take up in interest, would temporary seating then become a viable option?

To quote Philip Day in his recent statement

"We had been anticipating 50% of our capacity would be allowed. However, the draft Guide is far more restrictive, and it is estimated that it will be between 17% and 30%. Most League 2 grounds including BP will be at the lower end of that percentage"

So a lot less than what we were hoping.

So that would be about 2000 spectators
Unless it spikes there will be no spectators with the virus so what are they protecting?

I’m not sure releasing a statement with ‘draft guidance’ is a good move. The more I think about it the more I think it’ll cause my anxiety and debate that just likely adds more pressure.

And if they didn't, then you'd be moaning that you're not being informed about what's going on.

Had a look for this draft 85-page document, I think this is it here https://sgsa.org.uk/planning-for-social-distancing-at-sports-grounds/ Couldn't be arsed reading it all and only quickly scanned it but seems extremely convoluted, very much open to the club's own interpretation I imagine.

Probably already been mentioned but if we are only allowed around 2,000 into BP when the fans are allowed back how do you pick who gets in?

Not in the slightest. I think the club being tight lopes has been actually helpful. It hasn’t fuelled fires and hasn’t put them in any sort of firing line.

Like all guidance through this it’s exactly that, guidance. It is very convoluted and typical of something from the EFL.

I’d imagine that as football grounds are private property they can choose to implement as little or as much as they want although I’d suspect t most will try and stick to it.

Some might want to praise the EFL for trying to be proactive but it seems like a waste of time given the government could turn round tomorrow and say stadiums can open. Equally, as given the trend of bizarre decision making, they could enforce them being shut for the foreseeable.

Surely they’d be better placed looking at ways to ensure the vast majority of their members survive through this. If they believe iFollow is an income generator like ST and match day tickets they’re deluded.

The guidance is more convoluted and woolly than the 345 versions put out for schools.
