Social distancing must put an extreme stress on fire safety protocols in stadiums. If you're in the back row of the Shrivvy Road stand you already find the floodlights being switched off before you make it down to the concourse, imagine if it was single file with any kind of gap between each person!
And leaving the lights on longer to enable fans to leave safely will wack the electricity bill up  |

Not really no, at least short term, as a longer term thing when clubs are desperately trying to raise cash who knows, I know from experience a huge amount of the cost of wind turbines relates to infrastructure associated with them (And don't get me started on the environmental harm of the huge amounts of concrete used!) , clubs already have a bloody high tower, use it  |

Going back to refunds - Keeping the cash if they can will be vital for the club (obviously as others have said there will be individual fans whose need is to have the cash back because of reduced income / lost jobs etc.
Alternatives to refunds could include - for individual home tickets, the club could offer the option of a ticket for a game in 20/21 once fans are allowed back.
For ST holders, a credit against the cost of next year’s ST could be offered, or free I-follow until fans are allowed back.
For those (like me) who renewed in the first “window” they could offer the option of extra tickets free or even a discount on the 21/22 ST, which would also reflect those 20/21 games Played behind closed doors.

As sad as it will be our floodlight pylons must approaching the end of their usable lifespan now. The national grid are starting the long process of removing and replacing pylons due to them coming to the end of their life and I doubt ours are much newer.
