What changes do you expect to see at the AMEX when it finally opens its turnstiles?

Handwashing facilities has always been majorly inadequate for the men, for example,

A capacity of 6000 maybe?

Has the club done any customer feedback on what would make the customer feel safe? and should they?

It could be that the regulations will start off with a low maximum threshold for crowd levels.


So, I expect initially, once 3-5000 capacity events are allowed, then it will be just be 1901 members spread around the stadium.

i expect the cost of opening with significantly reduced capacity, and the moon like atmosphere making it rather pointless, means clubs will not bother to open until allowed to open fully.

We could have the 1901 gang tearing up the terraces surely!

I estimating 1 in every 4 seats maybe? On a rota?

Not sure how they will get around getting access to your seat, rip out a few rows if it's safe?

No mask no entry?

No drinks and food being served in the ground?

Perhaps it should just be singers only then!

Matchday trains will be a real challenge. Would expect to see much more strictly controlled queue management around the station - either that or no trains at all on matchdays to begin with

I expect the club will dump the giving of a free shirt on a child's 7th birthday :whistle:

With 22000 ST holders still paying full price ??

I don’t pay for 2 season tickets to enter a raffle to see if u can attend and be seated away from the wife.

I can foresee serious arguments about ticket allocation and the club having to fork out massive refunds as it can’t provide the service that’s paid for.

I know the club needs income but I would have suspended ST direct debits or just pay a £20 per seat holding fee.

No, of course not. If the ground isn't open to someone they'd get a refund for the game.

I think ultimately the distancing guidelines of 2m will be reduced to 1m and soon people will be able to extend their social bubbles to beyond people in their own household, at that point there is no reason why all people in the same social bubble can't sit together and less space needed between seats, plus with it being an outdoor setting this carries less risk than an indoor concert for example. I imagine they will have to close off every other row so that half of the capacity immediately out of action then something like 60-70% capacity in those rows utilised so maximum approx 10k. It will be a logistical nightmare, I don't envy how they will plan getting people in and out and around the concourses although our concourses are much more spacious than say Old Trafford or Anfield. They may also have to take into account peoples proximity to the stadium with preference for people as close as possible who can walk or cycle and not overload public transport and anyone outside of a certain radius excluded completely.

I think this will be the case.

We’ll see lots of Albion branded face masks & hand sanitising stations but little else. Social distancing will be ‘1m if you can’ - ‘wear a mask if you can’t’ - ‘stay alert’.

I’m hoping to be back at the Amex prior to Christmas if things go exceptionally well.

I don't think the club would stoop that low surely...? Certainly not to such loyal supporters as the OP.

This is the problem with football forums they twist things, similar to the media!

For the record for the last time, it was the customer service that was the issue and then the way the club dealt with it and no care or apology to how one of there long-serving customers was dealt with, not the Free shirt, I have more than enough money. I have always said its principles and mine are high, I get it some people have none.
It's just the way I was bought up and what I believe in, call it my religion.

Now back on topic will they be sticking a thermometer up yer bum???

And Albion branded Hazmat suits. If everybody wore one then we could get 30,000 back in the ground in June!
