Don't have a problem with either club
Why on earth could Newport County not make the following statement to fans if they wished to do so?excessbee wrote:First things first. There has to be a definite starting date for matches.

On this I am in complete agreement.NearlyDead wrote:Though only tangential to some of the above, IMHO it's currently a folly to bank on next season starting on time or going the distance without disruption. You only have to look at what is happening currently with attendance in work places and community settings resulting in places being shutdown shortly after opening. So disruption should be anticipated.
Until there is a 60-70% effective vaccine (and even when there is), local hot spots and shutdowns will likely be the common through 2020 into early-mid 2021.
None of L1 and L2 players will be likely be playing in biosecure bubbles (like the cricketers and Premiership players have been), so one case within a club will shut it down for a minimum of 7 days. Then, to me, it will be pointless testing other players/staff once an initial positive diagnosis is made in one player for at least 4 or 5 days after that initial diagnosis, since you will have to retest after that time anyway. So you could easily have a 12-14 days shutdown at a club. And at RP you will have a minimum of two teams possibly causing cross-contamination.
Also, will biosecure Premiership clubs want to play cup matches against clubs who don't operate in a biosecure environment? Wouldn't think so, but not seen that particular topic broached. I'd want to cancel the league cup and FA cup for 2020/21 if I were a Premiership club, or at least have the option to opt out of the competition for the coming season.
Cpl of possible issues with this idea and this isn’t saying it’s a a bad idea but firstly if X amount took this option up then I would imagine the first game in front of any supporters would be very popular but if any restrictions on numbers at the start by govt how would the club decide who gets in if say 1500 had taken option up but only 1000 allowed in would also then exclude any supporters who hadn’t taken this up so may prove very unpopular also many may not take option up until a time when supporters are allowed in so dependent on fixture list and how many games are behind closed doors and what opponents are left may influence people’s decisions.the club need some idea of ticket money now to establish some kind of budget.so going on your idea of stating its to aid cash flow I would actually sell full season tickets now at a lower price than normal but with a benefit of say when full allocation of supporters allowed each ST holder can bring a + 1 to every gameStan A.

We do not know when the new season will start or when fans will be able to attend. However to aid cash flow Newport County will be placing on sale books of 10 tickets, redeemable at any 10 future County games. The cost of these books will be £.........
That's a very good idea. Perhaps better than mine. Then again nothing to stop you doing both. And to answer Phil's point I doubt that we will see an 8,000 crowd for a first game back but if advance sales were pointing that way a warning should be given to turn up early if you either have a 'top ten' ticket or intend to pay on the day.excessbee wrote:A variation on this might be to sell season tickets at regular prices this season with a guarantee that renewals (for season 21/22) would automatically incorporate a pro rata discount for games behind closed doors in 20/21. So that if attendance was not allowed till January, and say twelve (home) matches were behind closed doors, the cost next season for renewing would be just 11/23 of the regular price. There is an overall loss of revenue, but it brings forward income to the time that it is needed.

But this is why our board are so totally inadequate. You can't prepare for every circumstance which might arise. But you can react to those circumstances. That is within our control.
So do you want a board of directors who are proactive, or do you want a board who do f@ck all other than to bugger off and consider their positions until they can pose with the FA Cup?
Yes.
