When we,re eventually let back into grounds,hopefully next season, what does everyone think attendances will be like. Will they boom or do you think people have got out of the habit of going now. Personally I think we will get good crowds, especially away as I reckon most fans,even people who don't go often,will be wanting to support the team again

This question is difficult to call either way, while there could also be other factors that come into play, like whether the authorities only allow crowds back with reduced capacities, and if so what percentage that reduction might be set at.
On a side issue I think we have been hit more by the absence of crowds this season than most of our rivals, as on the back of last season's success our support would have been a positive factor, even going back to the first game of the season at Bristol City, when I think if we had the backing of 4,000 or so fans we would not have lost that game. The opposite would have happened at the likes of Derby & Forest where their crowds would have turned toxic, which would have then made it much harder for them to climb out of their slumps.

History suggests that your projection could be correct.I think about 11 to 12 thousand home plus away so about 14 on average got to remember a lot of people just don't seem to bother
Reckon the club should get all the promotion side together at one of our pre-season games so we have a belated celebration. Don't mean for them to play obviously but do a lap of honour with the trophy or something similar.Would be so lovely to get 15,000 or so for the first game next season in the Championship back in Coventry
One can dream...

Assuming coronavirus rules allow it, our first home game of next season (in the Championship, at the Ricoh) would be a sell-out, no question.
Doubt Accy will get promoted...A midweek game versus Accrington Stanley?

If we managed it for a Friday night against Gillingham in L1, then I think so!
I expect crowds will tail off quite quickly, but the anticipation for the first game back will be a huge good news story, especially now that it doesn't look like we'll be hosting any games with a limited capacity before then.
This is also the only acceptable use of the 'can they do it on a wet Tuesday' etc etc
Data analysed by Public Health England (PHE) showed the Pfizer provided high levels of protection against infection and symptomatic disease from a single dose, and that hospitalisation and death from Covid-19 will be reduced by more 75% in elderly people who have had a first dose.
“Overall, we’re seeing a really strong effect to reducing any infection, asymptomatic and symptomatic,” PHE’s strategic response director Susan Hopkins told a media briefing.
PHE’s head of immunisation Mary Ramsay described the data as “strong evidence that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is stopping people from getting infected, while also protecting cases against hospitalisation and death”.
“We should be very encouraged by these initial findings,” she said.
PHE’s findings came from two separate analyses - one is an ongoing study in healthcare workers, and the second is an assessment of testing data in people aged 80 and over.
Evidence from the elderly group showed that one dose of the Pfizer shot is 57% effective against symptomatic Covid-19 disease, PHE said, and early data suggest the second dose improves protection to more than 85%.
“Hospitalisation and deaths rates are falling in all age groups, but the oldest age groups are seeing the fastest decline since the peak in mid-January,” a PHE statement said.
The vaccine also provides protection against the so-called British variant of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, it added.
