I don't think it's that implausible that you could fit all our ST holders in the stadium whilst maintaining social distancing if you spaced them out appropriately. Household groups can sit right next to each other so don't need to be distanced. I reckon they could make it work. The problem comes more from people touching stuff and maintaining social distancing in the concourse and toilets.

Be great if they could. Suspect ST will be down a tad and clearly they should take priority. Can ditch away fans too I guess. And I would expect a few may not want to return until it is safer too.
I can’t see how this could happen. Even if you limited the crowd to 6k it would need to be done in such a way as to allow movement without encroaching on the 2 metre or 1 metre distancing rule if that comes in. This would mean if you had say 5 people spread out in a row. How would access be gained to a seat in that row when you would normally shuffle past people who have stood up to allow you to get past ? Maybe I’m overthinking this.

Household/family groups a good point. I’ve heard Norwich won’t need to reduce attendance at all.

How about the final whistle? Everyone filing out respecting the 2m would take a seriously long time. People would be outside the ground waiting for family members so all I see is a massive crowd management problem for the police. If you took your child to the match, would they have to sit apart from their parent(s)? Whatever is decided can easily be picked apart. I'm glad it's someone elses problem to solve but sad that those who will decide (EFL) aren't really up to the job
Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?
As others have pointed out we could probably open the stadium and keep the required social distancing rules in place ( on another note wouldn't be surprised if they reduced it to 1M as in a lot of other countries ) the issues as pointed out are around entering and exiting the ground especially at full time.
1) We could insist on masks being worn while entering and exiting ( no admittance unless you have a mask ).
2) Sanitiser gel on the entrance and exits on stairwells and toilets
3) Cashless terminals at all food and retail outlets
We can try all we like but we won't be able to keep everyone at the required social distancing at all times. We might have to look at the R rate and say if it's under 0.5 then it's safe enough but if it's over then we can't open the ground .
