They lose a little lung capacity, I'm certain they would rather that over the alternative, dead.

Work out how many seats that is and distancing required. On the system put all other seats as sold/unavailable before allowing people/office staff to take bookings and no-one can accidentally overbook the seats.

It’s gonna be a nightmare getting tickets is what I mean

Doubt it if we're still in Birmingham. Would be nearly 9k seats, our average attendance there last year was 6k. Give priority to people who went last year and it'll be fine.

Just going off the social researchers I follow on Twitter. Property ownership also a factor. People tend to move right wing once they have assets to protect. Age of first home ownership has been increasing last few decades.

I get you.
Guess it'll be like a big game in first come first served or having some sort of ballot.
Once you've taken ST holders into account you probably won't have much left.

Which means more stewards higher cost - potentially higher Policing costs - plus I want my padded seat back For my piles

I just can’t see all the coke heads actually sticking to social distancing and I can’t see how they can enforce it

Good point. Also with people living longer people aren't even inheriting until later as well.
There is a bit swings-and-roundabouts though because even though those people are 'turning right' later the fact their living longer means they still remain right wing voters for about the same amount of time, but they're spending longer as left wing in their youth/early adulthood.
Demographics aren't great with people having smaller families so less youngsters being born.

Of course it's preferable to dying. Pretty ridiculous statement. It isn't nice though, I have already said on another thread about my experience so won't repeat but I can tell you it's pretty shit, so unless you've been through it yourself, I wouldn't pass it off as fine.
I became ill in Feb whether it was ths virus or not I have no idea, I just stayed in bed for a few days then started to recover haven't been ill since and I've bene with people who tested positive for covid since I really should take a antibody test but to busy.

I think there is a general ignorance as to how severe post-viral effects can be (not just Covid). People see ‘mild case’ and assume it will be like a cold. I had a viral respiratory illness when I was 30 that triggered an autoimmune condition, so that ended my football career.
One thing I would say, I pushed myself to get back to 5 a side after a few weeks and in hindsight there was no way I should have been running around like a maniac. I guess I’ll never know if it had an effect on what followed, but I didn’t stop coughing for about 3 hours after playing and only lasted another few days at work before I was signed off for what turned out to be 6 months. Might be worth getting a medical opinion on when it’s a good idea to ramp up the miles again.

Covid:
Will be reduced capacity , masks, segregated clusters of fans etc

Part of the problem is singing / shouting makes the 1 metre plus, or 2 metre, or whatever it is this week, distancing ineffective.
We struggle to get people to sit in the right seats, can you imagine the chaos with stewards trying to get people in the right seats, wear masks and not sing or shout?

On talksport it was mentioned 17% capacity, no away fans. That would be just over 5000 at Ricoh a bit less at St Andrews.

As a serious point though, if there were 6k season ticket holders last season and the capacity this (start of) season is 5k, how do they allocate those tickets? Glad I haven’t got to make that call.

Nah, it can't have been that many surely? Season ticket holders are added on automatically and pretty sure we had some sub 6k crowds? Think it was more like 3.5-4k

You’re probably right about us, the figures may be out, but the point still stands. How to allocate tickets if demand exceeds supply? Maybe we’ll be ok (in the sense that we were screwed anyway, so it won’t make that much difference) but how will Man U allocate 15k tickets (or whatever it is?). Don’t see how it’s workable.

That’s what I said in my first message
There wasn’t 6000 season ticket holders last season more like 3000/3500
gates were not often higher than 6000 home fans, crept above a bit just before the shut down.

Not sure why people think it'd be hard to allocate tickets, even if capacity is less than the number of last season's ticket holders.
First, you allow last years season ticket holders a period of time to claim their seat for next year on a first come first served basis. Once the seats are gone "SOLD OUT" goes up and if you've not renewed yet then that's unlucky.
