It's nonsense to suggest that we'll be attending games from 1st July.

How on Earth do you organise people sitting in alternative seats - aside from the fact that you'd still have people within two metres of you. Plus as UllFC says there's the congregation of people before and after the game. It's far, far more challenging than allowing a couple of dozen people in a pub or restaurant.

It's more likely that we won't have supporters allowed this year.

Sorry misread a post hahaha

So basically the pay per view on a game by game basis via sky tv ,with the proceeds going to the club you select, is now a brilliant option

Clubs still make cash
Supporters see games
Sky contract honoured

That is the only option I can see this season.

Also would love to know exactly what out deal at the KCOM says, do we pay a fee per game? so much a year paid annually or monthly? do we have to play a minimum of games there a year etc. We know we have to split the gate over I think 7.5k but whats the fee for an empty ground I wonder?

If its too costly we'd be better moving in with another club for behind closed doors games and share the costs such as have games back to back. Id rather play at Craven Park if it meant avoiding giving the Allams some uneccessary cash!

With the KC and arranged seating surely we could get a certain number of fans in (season ticket holders?) and they still be socially distanced? Same with the KC bars - barriered socially distanced queues could also work. And ban away fans

So 2 people to a row (so they can get out without passing each other), and then 4 empty rows, that should should just about do it. What does that add up to, I wonder?

The problem with the KCOM deal is that it will be based on a typical season. The Allams won't budge an inch. They want us out - it'll make the sale of city more attractive.

Premier League clubs have been told they could have to repay an estimated £340m to domestic and international broadcasters - even if the season resumes behind closed doors.

Inevitable.

Not 8,000 so how do you decide which season ticket holders are able to attend? Fans spaced out basically means adults only too. Also how would you allocate seats? How do you manage social distancing before the game not to mention everyone leaving at the same time.

Do you only allow one person in the toilets at a time if so how is that policed?

Too many problems to sort through, unfortunately. The virus has completely changed the way we live our lives, in some ways for good.
