Saw this mentioned on the SC website,(although subject to any legislative change), it appears the start of next season will probably see no away fans allowed.
It may save the club money on stewarding, insurance, catering staff etc, but obviously lose the revenue from away supporters.
Will I follow be allowed in these circumstances?

Ridiculous.
Just means away fans will be in home ends like any usual away capacity fixture.
Public transport is running, people are commuting for work, restaurants, family.
Why should standing on an open terrace in the UK be an issue? Other countries seem to be managing just fine.

Having read the article, it appears this isn't based on anything other than gut feeling. If restrictions are ended on July 19th, I can't see any reason how you could justify banning away fans. Re: iFollow, it needs to revert back to the previous system once fans are allowed back in at full capacity. |

I’ve not seen it mentioned anywhere else other than this one SC article. If travel restrictions and social distancing are totally removed by then, I can’t see why on earth they would want to limit away fans from attending.

Re: iFollow, it needs to revert back to the previous system once fans are allowed back in at full capacity. Whilst I am sure I follow will revert I am not sure it needs to. Whilst the home team may lose some revenue from away fans who will not travel, they will make this back by their own fans who do not normally travel for their away games buying a pass. the question I guess the questionj is how much revenue would be lost by home fans staying away and watching i follow instead? |

Post July 19th, with people being able to go into theatres again, surely we will be able to go into any football ground ? |

Re: iFollow, it needs to revert back to the previous system once fans are allowed back in at full capacity. I think the EFL agreed with all clubs that iFollow will be accessible to all fans until 75% capacity is allowed back in stadiums, which is when it'll return back to normal. |

Wembley having 60k as a test event with supporters from all over the place should really tell us that away fans shouldn't be banned.
Would only be questionable if these supprters at Wembley were made up of V.I.Ps and sponsors and was purely to keep the big dollars coming in but that would just be me being pessimistic and thinking that UEFA and co are just after money. Shudder at the thought 🤔

Shudder at the thought 🤔 Whats funny is that there isn't segregation at Wembley for the Euros so far (apart from it being 25% full) with fans dotted all about the place. Surely if you can do that from different countries, it shouldnt be an issue to allow away fans to sit with away fans. |

Why is Silverstone having a full capacity attendance for the F1 if football crowds are still going to be restricted, is this just the SC trying to play devils advocate to stir up more sh1t for the club it's supposed to support?
Although if away fans are banned why can't the clubs open up the away ends to home fans, if there's a need?

"Our expectation is that when the new season begins it will be for home fans only. "
As this actually been confirmed by the Government/EFL or just something dreamt up by the SC?

Although if away fans are banned why can't the clubs open up the away ends to home fans, if there's a need? It’s being used as one of those trial events. I’m going, we have had confirmation of our tickets. We have to prove at least one shot of vaccination on entry and pass a lateral flow test 48 hours before entry to the circuit which in our case, Thursday and Friday for Saturday and Sunday. |

The SC is theorising their own opinion, which will likely to be wrong, which is bang on form for them.
