Maybe season ticket holders only at first, wonder what the percentage of that idea would be. 33% maybe

That would mean that the entire crowd would likely be over 50. Seems a bit unfair and discriminatory.

Fans living in the same household would be able to sit together which would help with the capacity. This would be controlled by the club through online ticket sales.
I know in work places and shops where the 2 metre distancing rule is impossible to adhere to face masks are used so perhaps Home Park can be used at full capacity if all fans wear face masks, although there will be some fans who will remove their mask as soon as they sit down which will mean more stewards are needed.
Fanciful to suggest masks would facilitate a capacity crowd. But I think they could be compulsory for movement within the ground and help achieve the 25%. Once sat down they wouldnt be essential and difficult to enforce.
So on the way to the match - bus, train etc - masks compulsory - but once you're sat in your seat the danger of passing on or catching the virus magically disappears.
Have you passed on this development to the morons in Westminster?
Its not difficult to work out mate. Once you are sat in your seat you will be socially distancing as per much reduced capacity. I should think even the morons at Westminster get that even if you dont.
It's this sort of thinking that's got us further into this mess than just about every other country in the world.
I'll renew my season ticket when they go on sale but I don't think I'll be visiting Home Park until the vaccine is developed & available.
So what is wrong with 'this sort of thinking'. Do explain. A vaccine may never be available.

I think this is bringing home the fact there is no quick fix solution to us attending games.
The fear l have isnāt going back to football. Itās not having a club to go back to.
Unfortunately, l fear there is only one real solution for the lower leagues until crowds can come back to watch. Simply, the players will probably need to take a significant pay cut. The PFA wonāt like it. Iām sure the players wonāt either. Yet for the health of the game, for a number of football clubs to survive and for a number of players to be able to keep earning a lower league profession in years to come l canāt see any other viable solution.

Respect your concerns MGM, but nothing I have heard this week from scientists rather than fear-provoking media etc, has convinced me to change my view that we will be watching outdoor sport of all kinds by the Autumn. As for players taking a significant pay cut - there are players in L2 who would surely be better of working elsewhere if they had to take a 'significant' pay cut. Many of these guys arenāt earning large sums and driving Porsches.

I prefer to think that once things start to improve (which they already are doing) we will see fairly brisk incremental changes. Obviously I could be totally wrong.
But for now, I prefer to 'always look on the bright side of life'.
