Whilst it would be great to see fans back in stadiums, I can't see it happening for a while yet......and it would involve a lot of work to be done in the current climate to be acheived "safely".
In the ground is not the problem, assuming limited capacity fans can be spread out and seated apart as per social distancing guidelines. Question here is does everyone have to wear masks?
How would something as simple as going to the toilet be controlled? Can everyone go at half time? How could you ensure distancing at the kiosks, when entering through the turnstiles and exiting at the end? Can football fans be "trusted" to follow the rules?

My main concern would be the cost of setting up this operation and ensuring everything went smoothly.

Lets assume that Sixfields is opened up to 2500 spectators....... how much revenue will the club bring in? From ticket sales the answer in NONE....season ticket holders would take those 2500 seats and they've already paid. Sure they may make a bit from kiosk sales (if anyone is allowed to visit them) car parks and programme sales would bring in a bit more, but then weigh that up against the costs of opening up, using stewards, marshalls, police, other matchday staff, even the logistics of sitting people together or apart dependent on circumstances.

Sadly, I think that unless grounds are opened up fully, ie no restrictions, with away fans being allowed to attend, and home fans allowed to buy the surplus tickets on the day/in advance, then it doesn't make financial sense to a club the size of ours and the losses currently being incurred would be greater if there was only a partial opening.

Basically agree with this plus another 14k infections today seems to me the pandemic is possibly getting of hand.
