So, What Happens . . .

Won't the old timers all be shielding until the vaccine gets sorted anyway?

What do you call old timers, 60's 70's 80's or or someone who is mid 40's who may have had a season ticket for 30 years?

Fair point. I'm forgetting how old I am!

But I presume there will be a few 60+ who don't go back this season.

I'm old too😁 It's one big mess at the moment and needs some clarity!

Yet young ones have more years ahead of them to actually contribute more

That is if they can put up with the roller coaster us oldies have been riding for years.  Endless other options available on a Saturday these days.

As a non season ticket holder I have to pay more for a matchday ticket, therefore I should be priority

So clubs can serve beer when fans return, without a meal, but fans must sit down within the concourses while drinking.... Cue fans sitting on the floor of the Arkells.

Anyone figure out the logic on that one?

The top clubs will have facilities for this to happen, and bigger crowds, so it works to keep people from mingling in the concourse area.  For clubs like us, unless we install some, we won't be able to sell it.  The idea of tables is simple - stop people from spending time with other people they don't know and provide a degrees of control over a fairly chaotic area in a ground/building.

Never mind serving beer, just seems bloody ludicrous to have people in the concourses for anything other than passing through on way in/out. Substantially increases the risk of return to games.

I can't really see that clubs of our size and smaller will have any real option other than what you describe, which I think is the point.   Grounds like ours don't really lend themselves to being much more than a corridor anyway - a clever thinking club may see some opportunities to create external spaces I guess.

Pretty sure we've already got some seats installed somewhere, just let everyone drink in those and be done with it

You mean the specifically allocated, socially distanced and tracked seat in the stand? Don't be ridiculous, football fans mustn't do that or they'll start kicking shit out of each other.

[Power to people]

They haven't got long to get it sorted though, considering next home game is 12th you would think they would want to get on with it...although has any club done anything yet ?
