Just a thought... If 10,000 plus were allowed to congregate in Bristol City centre a few weekends ago in protest, squashed together for hours and hours on end, wouldn't it be double standards to not allow a similar amount of people to congregate at the mem for TWO HOURS on a Saturday, if masks were compulsory? Failing a full house, surely allowing season ticket holders access while safe distancing with masks could be doable? What does everyone else think?

Not plageurising, but someone said why don't we protest every other Saturday at Mem just for a couple of hours? Apparently social distancing is ok and there's no risk (because no one is arrested for breaking covid law) if you congregate in protest.. |

It wouldn't be double standards coz the protesters were supposed to be distancing. And the FA weren't in charge of the protests, in any case. If this thread becomes about protests, etc, then I'll move it to General Disobedience.

With a midfield three of Abu, upson and Clarke, there may well be some protests at the mem this season |

Hopefully it won't.. It was meant to be about the practicalities of getting fans into grounds again and canvassing thoughts on that.. The question posed was on that, not on the comparison between a protest and a football match. As others have pointed out, two things are different. |

If the social distancing measure is dropped to one metre, there should be a way of getting a reduced number of fans into the seated areas. More difficult to implement something on the terraces though.

More difficult to implement something on the terraces though. I think we have sold about 1250 season tickets, but I would imagine the majority of them would be for the seated areas, if that is the case, social distancing is not practical. Also, in the small print of the season ticket refunds email, it says that if you have bought a 20/21 season ticket you will be able to watch games on IFollow free of charge (so no refunds) if games are played without fans being allowed in. Hopefully not too many games like that! |

People can congregate on the tube with less than 1 or 2 metres. Could the same not be applied to outdoor sports events such as football? The clubs should advise anyone who falls into the shielding category to stay away (they ignore at their own risk) with everyone else being allowed in at normal capacities provided some form of face covering is worn and a hand wash gel is used as you go through the turnstiles. No food or drink to be served.

Could we see mandatory masks to make this happen? Small price to pay to get into the stadium!

Even when fans are allowed back in the ground again, attendances won't be close to what they were. People are going to be wary of large crowds and more conscious of their own health for a long time after lockdown ends.

Could be wrong, but I feel like I saw something like this the other day on the website? In theory I don't think there's anything too wrong with going back in September, as long as the numbers continue to drop/plateau as they are now. If shops can open, cinemas (from July), restaurants, offices (mine is in July) and schools can all open - then I really don't see why crowds can't at football. Although, you'd probably have to keep social distancing. |

Apparently, raised voices and shouting can spread droplets further (as evidenced by the recent outbreaks at food processing plants).
So, with this in mind - no singing, shouting at the ref or players - if we can imagine we're watching cricket with a soft murmuring and ripple of applause around the ground we should be alright! 😀

Nor am I going to start a Mexican wave by going 1,2,3 raaay!!!! Then boo when it breaks down, nor for that matter am I going to collect everyone's plastic cup and balance them all on top of each other looking like a proud 5 year old that's just built a duplo tower.. Actually, scrap that last one, with no food or drink allowed. |
