Return of Supporters

Arsenal have announced they intend to have some supporters back for their game on 3rd October. They have not stated a figure for how many will be allowed.

They are having a ballot for all season ticket and premium members, but they are asking for a proportion of the season ticket upfront to be able to enter the ballot. Any credit from last year can be used instead.

Lets wait and see what City have to say, but I would imagine they will want to have supporters back asap. We are due to be away to Leeds that weekend. An international break means City v Arsenal on the weekend of the 17th October looks like it could be our first home game - which would be a nice coincidence given that was the first fixture cancelled last season, and we'll hopefully have the benefit of seeing how other clubs have fared.

Quiet a few are doing the same - asking for £60 up front sorts out who's intending to return and who's sitting the season out. Shame City didn't do the same or we'd perhaps know what's what by now and they wouldn't be second guessing how many want to actually go to Burnley at home....

Leicester have done this. If you never get chosen in the ballot the £60 is rolled over to next season's ticket. Interesting that success in their ballot seems to reduce the chances in the next ballot cycle.

Burnley at home is an annual or biannual 5-0 so I am up for it :)

City tend to see what everyone else is doing before they make any decisions, let another club make the mistake and take the flack then do something different.
 
Not going to football has impacted my mental health more than I thought. Not been a game for nearly 180 days. Longest spell I have not watch city live in 37 years and I have watched us live well in excess of 1200 times. Far bigger problems going on in life but it has been a coping mechanism for me for many years. Absolutely cannot wait to be back. Think next season will be a bit of a farce again to be honest and it will be the season after before it feels back to normal. What a wank year 2020 has been. My old fella is in poor health these days and I am beyond desperate to take him and my kids to a full Etihad a few more times and maybe watching Messi.

Personally I think it's fair to reduce the chances - in fact I'd go so far as excluding people from future ballots once they've had a ticket until every season ticket holder has had 1 game
 
Daily Mail suggesting Arsenal are trying for 15k supporters, which if I'm honest is more than I was expecting. I thought it would initially be around 3k-6k and would work its way up.

Good news (depending on your point of view).
 
I've been told the club are also aiming for around that 15k mark for the 17th Oct, and as an slight fun point, we could potentially be allowed more people in the stadium than other teams based in Trafford due to the fact their stadium has a smaller concourse so fans can't distance which is where ours works in our favor
