So may see 5-10% capacity at Amex in December, if South East isn't Tier 3.

Tier 1 - 4k
Tier 2 - 2k

I reckon Brighton will be tier 2

I doubt the whole South East will be Tier 3. West Sussex is 141/149 local authorities in terms of infection rate.

Hopefully the club give priority to those that left their money in with the club

A maximum of 4,000 fans are to be allowed at outdoor events in the lowest-risk areas when the national lockdown in England ends on 2 December, BBC Sport understands.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to make an announcement on the return of crowds later on Monday.

He will make a statement to the House of Commons, which MPs will vote on.

There will be no crowds allowed in the highest-risk areas under the new Covid-19 restrictions in England.

Elite sports has continued behind closed doors during England's four-week lockdown, while grassroots and amateur sport has been halted since 5 November.

all this BBC understands, is expected to,etc just raises hopes and creates the confusion that we all complain about. Much better if the news outlets wait for the actual announcements and report on that. Much of the mess is caused by half right speculation in the press, and then when the official announcements are made people feel cheated when its not as expected

 

[nickbrighton]

can the MODS merge with Bozzas thread?

POTG?

Essex was Tier 2 pre lockdown with no travel allowed to Tier 1, so unlikely I'll be able to travel to The Amex.

 

[Mellotron]

Are clubs going to be buying the rapid tests for use in these situations?

Tier 1 - 4k
Tier 2 - 2k

I reckon Brighton will be tier 2

A lot of uni students went home at the start of 2nd lockdown so cases in Brighton have gone right down. Reckon we'd be in Tier 1 when lockdown ends.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Would have thought S/Tcks and home fans only at first ?

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Half arsed lunacy. 4000 people in Old Trafford is as safe as 4000 people at Bournemouth? Some teams will have the advantage of supporters whilst others don't?

 

[Swansman]

We'll see

Maybe the government shouldn't leak everything?

I'm pleased for Brighton-based seagulls. But I'm in an area of London where tier 3 will probably be imposed. Boo hoo.

Most likely STHs only (given they've already paid for a certain number of games), and can't see there being any away fans until all restrictions lifted and grounds back to 100% capacity (ie next season)

Feels like Southampton on the 5th might be a bit of a push to sort out logistically but Sheff U on the 19th would be a nice early Xmas pressie if I can get tickets
