Popular Post paulrs Posted July 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2020 Will crowds even be allowed by September, or whenever the new season starts. I doubt it to be honest. If they were though, you make a valid point. - Impact of Covid (Safety issues, economic fallout, apathy towards attending games) - High ticket prices - Entertainment levels amongst the worst in living memory - United having their best season in living memory - Animosity from many towards the manager - Animosity from many towards the chairman - Effects of any FFP punishment Doesnt look good 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crookesowl Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 If I get to a game before 2022 I will be very happy. I can’t see it happening anytime within 12 months 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair we are probably in a better position than other clubs at this level as we have actually already sold some season tickets for next season before this took hold!

Plonk Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) Same here. We have a good group who go together home and away. Even before covid a good number were saying they wouldn’t renew season tickets if things didn’t improve. They haven’t. They’ve got worse. Football for many is a habit. It’s just something you do without thinking. But this has broke the habit. season ticket sales, if they ever happen, will be the tell tale sign, and I think there will be a huge drop. if that does happen Chansiri has to really got to look at pots prices, because walk ups just won’t happen unless the team are doing well, and unless we get a change of manager that won’t happen. Dire times. Edited July 15, 2020 by Plonk 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Can you imagine how toxic it would be if we were actually at games. Convinced Monk only in job because there are no fans in stadium! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwë Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 If covid19 had fully cleared and we were still in the championship, I think gates would be down a thousand or so. The price/reward ratio is very poor. We are dull, very dull with little entertainment, excitement and spark. The loyalists will always go, but £40+ for full soon sees you browsing other ways to blow your wages. But covid19 hasn't cleared, and in fact is going wrong again, even in towns in England. Factor in that many people are suffering financially (I know some are doing better too), and the footfall to other businesses are down due to fear of catching the virus and then you take several thousand more off. Finally, masks. Throughout this, I've not had any issues going to the shops. Now masks are to be required, I simply won't want to be in the supermarket for long, I find them uncomfortable to the point of dread and I know I'm not alone. At games, you would have to wear a mask without a doubt, and at games SYP will be more than happy to have your £100. If football is fully open with the above taken in to consideration, I think 16k tops, and potentially as low as 10k. If we are in League One, god help us. Dull expensive football in a mask with a coughing spluttering non-hand washer next to you. Bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
