So, What Happens . . .

The national league play off final is 2nd august.

Talk about cutting it fine if they are planning on restarting on 29th august or 12th september!

Could it be feasible they keep the concourses closed, and make everyone enter through the big gates at the end of the stands and then walk along the front of the stand? That way, no inside. There’s obviously the logistics of toilets etc, but could be a way of keeping everyone ‘outside.’

Admittedly this is somewhat unique to The CG, wouldn’t work everywhere.

I never understand why everyone has to take a pi** after 45 minutes surely we all manage at home ok

I imagine it’s the per match beer.

What the majority of an 8000 crowd!

The Athletic are reporting that IFAB (International Football Association Board) are going to extend the 5 subs rule until the end of 2020-21.

At face value, this should result in the better squads benefitting handsomely.

Same, it's a massive disadvantage to teams that play possession based football as well as you can't really wear teams down when they can replace half their outfield players.

From the last EFL meeting.

Sounds about right to me. Start not delayed too much all things considered and 40% is not too bad.

For most L1/L2 clubs 40% is an aspiration, not a restriction

true that, did you see the crowd at Pox v Pompey? appalling

[Wobbly Bob]

So that will be about 6,000 for the CG.
Assuming all home fans. That should hopefully accommodate most of those who will want to go.

I assume the testing requirements are going to be reduced considerably (or paid for by AN Other) or the cost of that is going to cripple many lower league clubs.
