That's shocking. Imagine not being prioritised because you got redundant and needed to pay the mortgage rather than for a football match you couldn't watch

Isn’t he doing them a favour then? Not all clubs have loads of resource to manage how they handle this
These are the testing/ramp up events really, aren't they?
Barber's email confirms that the Gov guidelines apply to matchday 11 onwards - Southampton next weekend.
He wouldn't have mentioned that if they weren't at least aiming to get fans to that game, assuming we're Tier 1 or 2 (looks likely). I'm also assuming travel from Tier 3 to watch football won't be allowed.
In the small print of the details announced yesterday it does state you should not travel from a Tier 3 area unless essential for work/education/providing care. It also states that you cannot stop in a hotel overnight unless for the same essentials reasons.

The club will need to exclude supporters living in a tier 3 area from the ballot without using up any of the 6 opt outs everyone is entitled to.
BN postcodes only should be allowed.... Job done!

Here's Barbers statement. Quite a short one for once. >>>
"I'm sure you will have seen the Prime Minister's statement on Monday concerning the arrangements that will replace lockdown when the current restrictions end on 2nd December; and in particular the news that football clubs will be allowed to allow fans back into stadia from 3rd December.
You will have also seen that we should expect a new system of regional tiers, with tighter restrictions in the areas with the highest infection rates. While we await the exact details, the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport has confirmed that initially clubs located in tier 1 will be able to admit up to 4000 fans, in tier 2 up to 2000 fans, while those in the strictest tier 3 will be unable to allow fans in.
We don't yet know the exact criteria as to how tier thresholds will be evaluated, but the Premier League has been advised it appears unlikely that any of England's major urban areas will have infection rates low enough to qualify immediately for tier 1 status.
We welcome the news and it is a positive step in the right direction, but I believe I echo the thoughts of a number of clubs in saying we hope this will be the first step on a road towards opening up to bigger crowds in a safe and secure way.
The Premier League has issued a statement welcoming this move to allow fans back, for the first time since March, but they also stress that the low capacities being permitted cannot be anything other than the start of the journey to full stadia.
Albion held a successful test event with fans in August.
Subject to confirmation of each region's tier status, the new arrangements will apply to Premier League matches from Round 11 (Friday 4 December) onwards.
This doesn't leave us much time, but as outlined above we are waiting on much of the detail. So, we ask supporters to be patient in terms of the finer points and details around ticketing and exactly how many tickets will be available.
With this in mind there are a couple of important points. If you wish to enter the ticket ballot in a group please ensure you have selected your ballot grouping; and keep an eye out for announcements via the club website or direct to your email. We will keep you informed, and as quickly as we can. To find out more about the ticket ballot click here
Having had the benefit of the test event back in August against Chelsea during pre-season, we are extremely confident we can deliver a Covid-secure event for our supporters.
We will continue to liaise closely with DCMS and the SGSA (Sports Grounds Safety Authority) to ensure we meet all the required guidelines and over the coming days we will write with further details, as they are released, and match, ticketing and travel arrangements are finalised.

PS: If you're thinking about going to a match (when announced) recommend you go to the tickets section on BHAFC website and "buy" your grouping.
It takes about 5 minutes - i just did it. Effectively you select "buy a group" and then change the tickets to the ST /1901 ers who you want to go with. So you're ready if/when they start picking groups at random for possible upcoming matches. Blimey. I can't quite believe it.

It's being reported that in Kent, Swale & Thanet are 2nd & 3rd to Hull nationally in terms of numbers infected per 100,000 - 565 & 508 respectively. Hull is 568. This is for w/e 18th Nov. The previous week Swale was higher than Hull. Will be interesting to see how locally they define the tiers, whether by County or wider region or more local Council regions.
I thought the government based the Tier system on local authority areas? Hence, they would divide East Sussex into Lewes, Wealden, etc
I guess the key thing is that the STADIUM is in Brighton & Hove - albeit the car park/bus interchange, etc is in Lewes (and hence in East Sussex). It would be bizarre if Lewes was in Tier 3 (meaning someone who lived a few hundred metres from the ground - ie, Falmer Village or maybe parts of Sussex Uni - couldn't go to the match. But someone (like me) who lives 150 miles away (in Somerset) COULD....

What ? COVID has gone all posh ! The grim north suddenly feels a lot safer.
some" expert " on TV yesterday suggesting will be county
West in 1 , East in 2 maybe ?
Bit misleading that chart though, it's reporting the change in infection rates. If you only had 3 and now have 5 you've gone up 66.66% for example.

Yet on the south east news yesterday B&H had the lowest rate in the south so if they are splitting Sussex where does that stand
