    No but Im told they will be notified in the next week or so. Was also told some other clubs were letting exec members in before fans. (haven't checked if that is the case)

    This could be the resurgence of the West Stand bogs. One way in, pee against a wall, out the other end. The only thing you touch is yourself, no doors, no sinks, and women can wait til they get home.

    So if this happens are you able to opt in and out of the ballot for individual matches. Distance we travel makes mid-week games difficult. Can just see us only being successful for Tuesday nights!

    It’s clear that a huge amount of hard work and effort has gone into this and that everyone involved is working under incredibly difficult constraints. You should all be congratulated for the brilliant work done so far.

    However - that doesn’t alter the fact that it sounds a little bit ****.

    Seat coloured shirts. That's the only reason you can't see them on iFollow ;)
    This was the only item of business. Another one is going to be organised for the other issues.

    • Digital tickets will be issued (only) (Apple wallet/ pdf / mobile) No physical tickets
    I don't understand this. Why do I need a non-physical ticket? I received an email last week saying that my 20/21 season ticket had been uploaded to my 19/20 ticket.

    It's a problem for me, because I don't have (and don't want) a smartphone.

    I was thinking the same. Being 2 hours away I didn't much fancy only being "lucky" for midweek games, not when I don't leave work until 5 at the earliest

    Not the clubs fault and clearly a lot of people have worked a lot of hours to get us into a position where we can be planning to allow fans back but I agree it's going to be a strange experience.

    Club starting to get form for being a little bit fast and loose with things promised. Same last season with the online exclusive portal for fans.

    Due to the ever-moving goalposts regards return of fans, that was put on the backburner. At one stage, it looked like we might have a test event against Luton. I imagine they'll be available for supporters rather than put on seats now. Once we know more, it'll be communicated to folk.

    Thank you to those who attended the engagement forum. It seemed a worthwhile exercise.

    And yes, to whoever said it, it is indeed a bit shît all this. I genuinely am sick of it all personally.

    And trust us to get a decent cup tie when no fans can attend.

    But yes, folk are working their arsés off to make the best of the shît situation.

    Also, still laughing about Paul holding up a sign to the camera because he couldn't be heard on the call! Classic. Dane was in stitches.

    Seem to remember Glastonbury promoting the SheePee one year to help the ladies avoid the terrible toilets. Maybe something for a branded version in the club shop ;)

    Thanks. I'd (obviously) not bothered to read that far. Cheers.

    As ever at the club, we will look to help everybody in whatever way we can.

    I appreciate Gally posting this thread, as the more info and more time to digest it all, the better. However, as was pointed out this evening on the call, and as he states himself in the OP, nothing is in stone. Old shîtbag Johnson could lock us all back down tomorrow, for example.

    And, a proper release by the club about the topic will be coming later this week. We've a cup tie to sort and ifollow codes to send for Saturday before folk can get round to bubbles etc.

    Thanks for your patience, all of you. Trying our best and will help anyone where necessary!
