Next Season

Just feeling a little apathy towards the FA Cup Final. 
Obviously everyone happy that we are there, but a number of people happy to be watching at home.

A few years ago I would have sensed people selling a vital organ to be able to get tickets for games, but now I just get a sense of acceptance of watching it at home.

 

So the question is, next season, will we fill the ground or will fans decide not to go anymore? 
 

Have you changed your thoughts on attending games, or will you be back like a shot like you were pre-pandemic? 

 

Just be interesting to gauge views. It’s just that I have heard comments about the FA Cup final that I wouldn’t have expected a few years ago and I am thinking a good percentage of people won’t revert to their old habits.

I think that’s mainly due to the situation we find ourselves in though. It’s reduced capacity, its shit, but so be it. Global pandemic and all that so needs must right? There’s a select few who have earned the opportunity through loyalty points that will be able to get a ticket, fair play to them and I’m incredibly jealous, but not something to get worked up about considering it’s something none of us really have control over. 
 

If full capacity is authorised next season I’ve absolutely no doubt the grounds will be full and I can’t bleeding wait.

Gotta take in to consideration that people's personal choice is that they may not feel safe to go out as early as mid-May. Things might change between now and August onwards but that's up to them. There's a reason why you might not have heard a few years ago because there wasn't a pandemic back then! 

 

Personally I'll be snapping up a ticket for the game next month if the opportunity allows. Not missing that at all if I get the chance.

I highly doubt we'll be back at full capacity next season, get used to watching it at home.

But Boris said that all legal restrictions will be lifted in June and it is impossible for Boris to lie.

We have an aging season ticket holder demographic, some of which may choose to stop coming for health reasons. Also bear in mind we'll have 2 seasons worth of normal turnover (I think Jim said once it was about 300 STs a season). With that in mind there actually could be a few STs up for grabs whenever it comes around. But there is absolutely no way we don't sell out, at any capacity.

I have a feeling we will be full capacity at some point early next season but it will be with vaccine passports, or testing if you haven't had the vaccine yet.

I've been on the fox silver/international membership for god knows how long and my dream is to finally get my hands on a Season Ticket and keep it. Probably won't happen until the club expands the stadium to more seating. The wait goes on...

I just don't see there being huge pressure to be very risk averse when winter comes again. Mass gatherings like spectator sports will be hit first, hope I'm wrong.

If anyone wants to swap a ticket for one of my vital organs then please pm me. 

Same.

 

NOTE : My vital organs may not be in tip top condition and are sold as seen. No returns or claims accepted

The large majority of people will have had both vaccines by then. Unless a new strain emerges that is resistant to existing vaccines, it will be difficult to justify major restrictions. It may be that people who have refused vaccines and not allowed to attend games, but that's their choice.

I've followed the rules re covid but if I could be used as a guinea pig in exchange for getting a cup final ticket I would crawl over broken glass and drink a tramps piss to be involved.

 

Can't wait to go back. Bored of my family, etc.etc.

 

Is that emphatic enough or am I sitting on the fence too much? 😀

As a non season ticket holder who would buy tickets as released then book trains and then guzzle and munch my way through pre and post match refreshment not to mention buying programmes, magazines, fanzines, cuddly filberts etc finding and justifying that in the monthly budget on top of Membership now that it has not been common practice for so long is going to be an eye opener. I don't know what I've spent that money on in the last year but haven't felt overly flush with spare cash so factoring it back into the accounts again will be challenging but as far as wanting to, yes, I want to return as often as before. Hopefully The Kings Head and Granby Street Chippy will still be there too.

 

With the F.A.Cup it seems the fact that everyone else is missing out too somehow softens the blow but it's right, ordinarily we'd be trying desperately to get a ticket (says fazzyfox whilst searching for a Brent area nurse on Tinder every hour god sends). 

 

Surely having every game on live TV will stop once the crowds are let back in although that would be a dubious step unless you're allowed 100% capacity to return.
