A mate told me yesterday that Corinthian Casuals are getting 400 (in a ground with only 161 seats and a maximum capacity of c 2000. I think in normal seasons they get around 200 - clearly followers of other clubs missing their fix.
It must be harder to ensure social distancing with 20% in an unseated ground than it is to do it in a fully seated ground. Especially as the Casuals’ ground has no terracing on two sides.
If you want to distance you can in the seats at most of these grounds but the rest of the capacity is people standing shoulder to shoulder around the perimeter. Whenever you say it's safer higher up the leagues though, you get shot down.

This is what happens when the elite from Eton form a government. They have no idea of what goes on in the real world, make rash assessments of how we all behave, based on a few clips on the news. As has been said, Bristol City fans can watch their game inside the bars at Ashton Gate, but can't sit a few feet away outside and watch it live, bonkers! Let the fans back, make them wear masks, no mask, no entry. There are enough stewards to enforce this, since there are no away fans. It got to be safer than what's happening in Bristol surely? What sort of education do you get at Eton FFS?

As long as the curtains are drawn and you can't see the pitch. Fecking crazy.

If anyone came up with a conspiracy to make people watch football on telly, they couldn't do better than come up with this nonsense. It's like a science-fiction parody. You can watch what's going on a few metres from you but you can't look at it directly. You must wear Dr Faustus' Virtual Reality Spex if you want to see your family.

It's not about being tarred with the same brush, it's more they can't separate the idiots from the herd and only let sensible people in. And a small, but not insignificant percentage of football fans do have a habit of regularly making mammaries out of themselves.
Maybe if we promised Boris that we would form a vigilante group armed with "Tazers" to spifflicate the houligans he would allow us back. We could also take them with us to away matches.

He’d agree to that! And totally ignore whatever the Home Office told him about the use of equipment for crowd control. That’s how we ended up with those water cannon costing us millions from Germany that Teresa May told him he couldn’t have. I think they were sold as scrap in the end. Another little legacy of Boris’ time as Mayor of London.

Sides at that level can have 30% of their capacity in the ground. They got 600 against Leatherhead a week or so back, but it's a local derby. Anyway, now it's all ended.
