Lovecraft Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) I just watched the Chelsea game and they had zero fans. Wonder if that's political rather than medical advice? If they don't think it's safe enough to have ANY fans back yet, in what is probably the most elite league in the world, why would they allow drunken scum weegies back into watch a Mickey Mouse league? Everyone knows, and I mean everyone - that there is no chance that the OF fans could be trusted to turn up in small numbers to games. None.

I'm not sure having fans in the stadium will affect either us or the top league financially. On the face of it, any limited fan attendance is unlikely to get beyond 50% capacity this season. All fans in attendance will be home season ticket holders (and the clubs already have that cash) so there isn't scope for additional income for walkups, away fans etc. There's a view that catering kiosks will be closed or very limited so that is another income stream that will limit any benefit on that front too. Additional stewarding, hand sanitiser, temperature checkers etc will present further cost. I do get it for the lower leagues that don't have many season ticket holders and have large stadiums but it really doesn't affect us.

Any fans permitted into Tynecastle or the top league will be season ticket holders and the clubs already have that cash. If certain clubs work on a financial model that they can only exist with away fans populating their stadiums then diddums. Serves them right.
