Location of season ticket holders.
To limit travel from further afield, season ticket holders within The Ipswich area should be offered first as they could walk to the ground or drive, then the club should look at surrounding towns and villages stowmarket and Felixstowe for example as the next lot of season ticket holders to possibly attend a game.
A bit unfair on fans that live further away but I think fans coming from different areas where infection rates could be higher isn’t a great idea.
Plus when you factor in the use of transport to get to the ground where this could be train or bus etc
For balance I live on outskirts so would class myself in the second category but it may be worth the club looking at this for impact on the local health services if there is a spike in infections

Shouldn't they look at fans who are least at risk first? An 80 year old from IP1 is not safer than a younger fan from 5 miles down the road. It's going to be an absolute minefield for the club and I don't envy them at all. |  |

As you probably know Mr Mullet, when it first looked like limited numbers might be possible a couple of months or so ago they contacted ST holders who had to 'register an interest' if they wanted/intended to attend games prior to the time that there would be no limits on numbers. I suppose they will work from that list and if that exceeds the maximum number possible, which I imagine it will, they will ballot from that.
The alternative would seem to be a complete re-think or contacting ST holders again to see what their views about attending are now. |  | | |

I don't see how they can go ahead without massively revisiting plans, let alone not consider starting from scratch given we know more now. It's another example of the Tories giving out populist headlines and letting others shovel their sh1t for them.
What if a club actually stands to lose money because the cost of putting on COVID safe matches for a fraction of the crowd is more expensive? Any club that says no to fans will get pelters. | |

There are 101 considerations the club could apply but to expect them to, given they are a football club is unrealistic i think.
Any decisions about who should be excluded or given priority should be included in the govt guidelines, over and above that simply isnt going to happen. Expecting football clubs to make guidelines around epidermical science, rather than follow them....the reality is they will implement what they are told to. |  |

To be fair most clubs have been calling for fans to return since this season re-started. |  |

Good points- coming from Essex I’m thinking of the x contamination-but people work etc etc.
Problems will be at turnstiles and toilets - there won’t be any food or drinks. |  | | |

This. Sitting in the freezing on your own when you can't stand up or sing doesn't strike me as something to rush for. Especially if one is 55+ or clinically vulnerable.
As you say, minefield. [Post edited 23 Nov 2020 21:55]
