Fans back at the Etihad

[franksinatra]

Not sure if there is another thread about this but Boris just announced that he hopes spectators will be allowed to return to football stadia from the middle of October. Not sure if that means limited capacity or full grounds. Looks like certain clubs will lose out on another chunk of match day income moving into next season. Given that Karren Brady said the other week it was hoped we would be back at the beginning of the season I guess that clubs are now hastily rewriting their 2020/21 budgets

At the moment it will be to rapidly reduced capacities and the current 1 metre social distancing rules. Be interesting to see how the club determines which season ticket holders at allow access for.

Got a meeting with the club on Monday - virtually of course - and I believe we're talking about how the immediate future looks.

Could you go down the path of asking who wants to renew for 21 22 season say £1 as a holder then actually ask who is wanting to go 20 21 season and work something with those numbers,
Maybe say only 20k would want to attend next season so problem maybe solved?

Yep. Cos we struggled against them with an empty ground. City would cake walk a league with no fans because our style of play doesn’t require the crowd to “gee us on” as much as other teams as the ball does the work so much more

It was more them not wanting us to play them at an empty Anfield.

I wouldn't even want to go back until it was 100% safe to do so, which probably means a working vaccine. And what's the point of being in a stadium that's at best a quarter full?

that's all it normal is...

Not sure why Boris is talking about October. He needs to see what happens in August and September first

Its probably just something hes dreamed about last night and pulled it from his arse this morning and thought " lets make an announcement"

This is what the club should be doing. Contacting all ST holders to see what demand is like if allowed back in.

As someone who has worked all through this pandemic,I want to be there when it resumes for fans
But i'll only go if my 12 year old is allowed too,he's on his 9th year as a season ticket holder next season
After working all this year I'll take my chances and return.

I never refer to him as “Boris”, on a good day he is that despicable cunnt Johnson

Here's one for @Prestwich_Blue

As suggested, could you see if the club would poll existing seasoncard holders to see how many of them would be prepared to come back this coming season (I definitely would be). If only half wanted to and no away supporters were allowed then potentially most or even all could be allowed in very early on.
