So no food / drink on a matchday? I don’t buy that crap, but would it really be worth opening the turnstiles at the madejski for 3000 attendees ticket money alone? That’s £30k to £60k per match. May aswell just take the money for people subscribing to ifollow.
It’s not 3000 for goodness sake !
6000 @ £15 is £90,000
Oddly football is about more than money. For many watchingonline isn’t any kind of option, I won’t bother, may as well play FIFA (if I knew how).:Finding a way to allow fans in means there is actually a point to playing the games.
You could do food but use outside stalls as in the Fan Zone, avoid creating inside congestion.
Amazing the inability of some to think positively. Must be great spending your life thinking of reasonsnot to do stuff !
I thought it was a perfectly reasonable question. Stop being a stroppy little oxf*rd.
The club can’t run at a loss just because it would be nice to have a couple of thousand fans in the stadium.
Ok, so you don’t read the answer to your ‘perfectly reasonable question’ . Seems bizarre to pose a question , notread the response then throw a wobbly because you got an answer !
The club runs at a massive loss anyway, I’m guessing you’re advocating just closing it down for good ?
Having 6000 fans in the ground would be self funding but would not cover the huge costs that are incurred whether there are fans there or not, or whether games are played or not. I’d agree it needs to not add to the financial drain on theclub but it seems quite possible for it to cover costs. It also needs to be safe, and for fans to believe it’s safe.
If you believe the club shouldn’t open if it would lose money by doing so would you think they would be crazy not to open if they could make a profit on the day ?
We’regoing To shift to 1m distancing shortly which would mean pretty much anywhere will be able to operate.
Sorry if you think trying to put a reasoned argument together is ‘stroppy’, more than happy to engage in discussion if you have anything more than ‘I think it might be tricky’....
