And whilst it may be tolerated inside the ground, it couldn't possibly be assessed in terms of setting a capacity. Capacity would have to be set based on an assumption that every member was unrelated and fully socially distanced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with you here , just meant there would be more social distancing space for single supporters Edited May 23, 2020 by Robbo63 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, groups of household tickets could be sold. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capacity would have to be set though, and usable seats / standing areas marked before tickets were sold though surely? And the club can't seriously be expected to check claims of people living in the same house. I expect capacities would be set in Council Surveyors Offices long before anyone visited a ground or went near selling a ticket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea, I’m obviously just speculating! Of course the club can’t be expected to check claims etc but it’s down to each individual to manage themselves, as generally has been the case throughout this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 All these measures are just guidelines and obviously can't be enforced to any great extent. You are relying on folk being sensible and making an effort to follow these guidelines. That's why it's got absolutely no chance of being successful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a long way away from fans being allowed in grounds at all I think, it's not massively likely to be this year going by the Sportsound interviews earlier. But ultimately, capacities are part of the safety certificate set by local Councils. I imagine they would probably take it into account in assessing what would be allowed in venues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I can't imagine social distancing would be up to the club to manage. It's not a law, it's guidance. You set a sensible limit to attendance, make it ticket only, take some basic steps like marking out two metre gaps then leave it to the crowd themselves to adhere to the regulations, same as in shops, on the street, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is still May and this is a very fast moving story, I think you'll find that compared to now, things will have changed dramatically come August. All speculation, but I expect schools to be open, airports to be fully operational and people holidaying abroad regularly, not to mention all business resumed and public transport very busy again. It should also be pointed out that "social distancing" has already been reduced to 1.5 and 1 metre throughout Europe, so I'd firmly expect us to follow suit, so maybe not so many potential barriers as one would think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens all the time. Lines of tape every 2 metres for 3000 metres away from the ground? Cool. Make it happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS stick to the point in question or GTF Exactly what I did, chum. But, since there’s obviously no point in debating this with someone who’s going to defend his club’s reasoning at all costs, even though he has no idea of what that reasoning may be and is looking more and more like a muppet with every post, I am indeed going to GTF. G’night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
