I'd expect Sept 12 start to the season, with players back to training end of July/beginning of August.

No away fans means the home fans can be spread over a wider area & there would be a reduction in bottlenecks.
If capacity is set at 30% for example, that would mean just 3,000 seats in use. Reserving 500 for away fans under those circumstances would be bonkers.

That would just about cover season ticket holders and no away fans.

I am sure that there would be a percentage of some sorts to make it fair for both sides, but it’s a start at least. Clubs need income some way.

Maybe that the ground can be filled to 1/3 capacity (ie 3000 or so for us, I can't remember) and then of that 15% away fans like in the FA cup (450). If away fans don't take up then released back to home fans. ST holders get priority for home games and for away allocations.
I don't know how many ST we sell but I suspect that would cover most ST holders and all ST holders (more or less but not for games close by) wanting to go to away games.

Not absolutely sure, and please don’t crucify me for it, but I think we sold about 2,200 - 2,300 last season. Can’t wait to renew mine and get back to watching again.
Also, with West Stand, QLE and home support we normally get, I think we should be able to accommodate usual support levels?

No away fans, also means fewer overheads for the club which will go some way to off setting the reduced capacity.
Thanks to the piss poor design of our 3 sided stadium, the club can't apply a sliding scale for home/away support. Away fans either get the whole end or they get nothing. As home support will most likely outstrip the reduced capacity, then give the away support nothing.
If capacity is pegged at anything lower than 40% our home support exceeds the number of seats available.
