I reckon that with one seat taken then the next one empty and so on , the capacity will be down to around 10 to 13 thousand, better get ur season tickets fast 😷
 



2m social distancing would mean 4 or 5 seats between each person.

And it would take about 3 hours to fill and empty the ground.

Imagine the queues at the turnstiles.

😮
 
Your forgetting family members who share same house can sit together making it more complicated. Plus the online ticketing system would need updating because it doesnt allow odd seats between groups. Also seeing crowds outside the ground before this happened how would you social distance outside the ground ? I cant see social distancing working at all at Football grounds so it either is no fans until social distancing is scrapped or its proven mingling outside at a Football Ground doesnt spread the virus, or we are all vaccinated/immune. I can also see games being home fans only for a while too. Long way off yet before fans allowed back in.
 
Far too complicated to have us fans in any ground until a Vaccine is made available.
Assume there never is one available? Who is to say there will be? Do we pause everything until there is? Not possible at all. We either stay as we are (perish the thought) or crack on.

As for the football, if I have to sit it out for another 6 months then so be it.

Watching the Germans yesterday highlighted just how vague the rules are. The subs are 2m apart with masks on, yet defenders were holding onto attackers at corners. So you either social distance or you don't.
 
Gonna get complicated when someone needs to go to the toilet.

You wouldn't be able to pass anybody so your entire row would have to file out onto the steps and go with you.

Be like a Monty Python sketch.
They'd have to get screens in the cubicles for the likes of myself who make umpteen trips per half.

With the 2mts gap, the queue would be from Shoreham St to the Sty. The Star would have everyone about turn, take a photo and claim it was the queue to buy 10 year season tickets.
 
If it’s safe for children to go to school then why isn’t it safe for fans to go to football?

My biggest fear with the “social distancing“ mantra is there is one group of people who absolutely love the situation as it is, the Police and Emergency services. Think about it, no football fans causing them agro on a Saturday no drunken muppets fighting outside the clubs on a Friday Night, they think all their Christmases have come at once and will want to keep it this way as long as they possibly can.

The mood music today saying that things will be looked at on a local basis also fills me with foreboding, SYP have long wished for their holy grail of big games taking place with either no away fans or behind closed doors, I’ve been told this personally by a police officer that Senior members of South Yorkshire Police have long stated privately their desire that they should have the power to declare some fixtures too dangerous or costly to play with fans And should be behind closed doors.. and suddenly it’s been dropped into their laps. They won’t be able to believe their luck And will not want to give this up easily.

and everyone very close walking out onto the pitch...could be that there is evidence that viral load higher/more likely to infect if sat next to someone for sometime rather than walking or running past someone.

It’s all so inconsistent.

Having said that the Kop toilets are probably the safest place in Sheffield, fuck all would survive in there

Well, kids statistically are the least affected group of people. The number of children who have died from the virus is tiny.

For me, crack on. Why not make it voluntary? If you want to go, go. If you're worried about risks, don't go. And if you dont go, don't meet someone who has been.

"But what about married couples and only the husband goes" - I hear you cry.

Im not saying its perfect.
