It's already doing the rounds that capacity will be limited to 1,000 - regardless of how many supporters follow each club.

The away fan issue is massive - as previously stated - to impose a ban for part of the season would be unfair - example we have no away support at Stockport in December but when they come to us they could potentially have an away following.

Every other seat row will be eliminated - how many seats taken out between supporters open to debate - then what to do with family groups - cross over points / stairways / toilets / refreshment kiosks - turnstiles / exit gates / car park approaches - all will require a planned way of managing the risk.

I can see ST holders & club members being first in allocation (if at all) beyond that the casual supporter wont get a look in even if we start with crowds in October - Peterborough United already had players with Covid at the weekend self isolating - this wont go away and it will no doubt get worse as winter approaches - I am still perplexed as to how the away team travels to the home club - Boreham Wood players and management all aboard a single coach for several hours each way - if that's not a recipe for Covid then nothing else is - only need one player with symptoms and the domino effect will kick in - total logistical nightmare until a tried and tested vaccine is available to the masses - and that's not going to happen any time soon.
