The concourse bars are not going to be open THIS SEASON

Do we get a refund then

I can see them struggling to organise this by Saturday

You would hope the contingency plan is already built if they have been working with the EFL for some time on this.

I’m sure Middlesbrough haven’t just found out through the news and have been working with EFL for weeks behind the scenes

You'd like to think so wouldn't you but this is MFC

The Northern League clubs are managing it but they don't need to use a good sized internal space for access.

 

[Shaboro1986]

Wonder how many places go to staff and families.

If I get picked does anyone want to buy my seat?

Cba going to sit in a soulless place on my own.

Many times but not on my own.

Luton has opted out.

I can see others doing so too.

I don't think fans should be allowed in yet no matter how distanced, we are seeing a massive upsurge in COVID19 infection rates, have we forgotten the horrors of this disease and the risk we put our key workers in, it's just a game of football.

It would be safer than going to Tesco.

Its in the T&C's that your seat in not transferable.....your access and exit from the stadium is used for track n trace purposes

Operationally are MFC ready? They'll need stewards, one way systems, floor markers etc to put in place in these 2 days. Do find it weird how MFC didn't release a statement immediately stating the process.

Why would you put the prep work in with the EFL, be fortunate to be selected as a trial site, then opt out last minute??

 

[DanBoro4499]

I don't know why, but even a few weeks ago I had a small feeling that we'd have some fans in the stadium by the time the bournemouth game came around.

Really pleased and like other people have said - it's a start at least.

You would hope that they haven’t just been sitting on their hands, fingers crossed, that they are not selected as a trial site. Hopefully they have volunteered and the EFL have selected to the clubs who have said they are good to go.

Luton opted out?

It's incredible EFL haven't even communicated with clubs over this before announcing this.

Seriously, I despair with the EFL at times. They're ran and controlled by absolute idiots.

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Can't believe the EFL or whoever is organising this didn't ask the clubs if they would be able to do this in time... basic planning

 

[Subbuteo_171]

First prize in the ballot - ticket for one game
Second prize in the ballot - tickets for 2 games

Knowing Kenilworth Road as we do this is a sensible decision!
