Get the guy who did the Penrith game to video it. We'd be sure of a 0-0 then. Reminds me of the story Walshy told me of a reporter, all long time ago by the way. Syd Ogilvie, Walshie's first chief reporter filed the result 2-2, Reds Reserves v South Shields in the 60s. Shields had won 3-2. He'd heard a cheer when he was coming back from toilet but didn't think it was a goal.

I do get it's very difficult to sort out a safe and responsible way to get crowds in. The daft bit is that under hospitality rules as I understand it, Reds could open the Hopper and Shankly bars during a game, and run an outdoor market in the car park, as long as no one could see the pitch !
There was a junior speedway event at Scunthorpe yesterday where a very limited number of spectators could buy tickets in advance only. Surely that should be allowed and the way forward. As a pilot to try it out, 100 ( season ? ) ticket holders paying a fiver in advance and service at the bar entrance ( nobody but staff inside ) would work ?

Run a car boot at the same time as a game. Park the cars behind the Derwent End fence. I went to a Car Boot on Sunday which had a least a 1000 people there with the only social distancing in place being a couple of bottles of hand sanitiser available.

Letter from a number of MPs to Minister of Sport about #letfansin here : Mark Jenkinson is a signatory. There is also a petition to sign currently approaching 4,000 signatures. If it gets to 10,000 the government has to respond : petition.parliament.uk/petitions/334366

Can’t see in the article any date when this would be effective from. Only mentions 1/10 which is a bit late, unless we are considered part of a test period. Can anyone shed any light on this ? The irony is that it seems to apply to level 3 and lower only which are all the leagues that were screwed over with the null and void ruling

Think the part of the process for us is as I understand it :
From Saturday, clubs can fill grounds to 15% capacity.
From 30th Aug, clubs can fill grounds to 30% capacity.
What's our official capacity ? Do I recall 3,500 or am I being optimistic ?
It will of course put a strain on the ticket selling processes for all clubs, as I assume sales in advance will be the sensible thing.

I'm sure someone will be along shortly to confirm.

Edit - actually, I think Simon may be right - I forgot that there was a random 1 on the end!

It would be useful to get a home friendly in by next Sat; max 450, before the Lanc. City match on the 5 Sept.
Carlisle City, Penrith, W'haven etc etc.

Have to play 1 game at 15%, for the reds about 460 fans,before moving to step 2 at 30% of ground capacity. The Lancaster game will do for our 1st game, cant see us getting 460 for that game.
