Not sure that the Club's statement has been fully thouht through. Whilst I understand that Season tickets can't be sold juist now, it appears that the only option when/if football restarts is that we all PATG. ST's are then financially disadvantaged.
Is it dangerous to assume someone in charge has worked out the ground capacity based on social distancing? If so, what's the new Home capacity? And how do the club control the OF supporters, who are generally uncontrollable in normal times, refusing to sit, sectarian songs etc? Imagine the scenario when half or totally sherbeted OF fans turn up and are told they can't get in because of Social Distancing and the Away end is full.
With no electronic turnstiles, who will know how many have entered the ground, either Home or Away?
I suspect, with the crowds we have been attracting for some time, that the Home Stand could probably 'do' seating 2 metres apart, but that means not sitting with friends, which is part of the day out. How does the Club decide whether two or more sitting in adjacent seats are all family members from the same household, or people just ignoring the recommendations?
Far too many unanswered questions in the statement.
But a good discussion point for these strange times, eh?
