Stadiums at Full Capacity from 19 July

[Smiffy]

Worthy of a thread and great news that stadiums will be open at full capacity from 19th July!

Let's embrace it and pack the old place to the rafters and travel in huge numbers this coming season. UTB.

Follow Southend away, follow Southend away, follow Southend away, ole, ole , ole

Also worth point out that the scientific advisers where not concerned that the upcoming Euros would cause "super-spreader" events as the fans are outside. They did note their concerns related to indoor gatherings (groups watching around friends houses, indoor gatherings)

Really wish they had opened up football stadiums like they did outdoor eating back in April. Even if it was for the last home game of every football club.

Onwards and upwards

Would be nice to see roots hall have 10k every game but can't see it happening. 5/6 k if we are near the top end of the league.

 

[Farmer Fossett]

I unfortunately think there will be loads of room at Roots Hall this season. Once the novelty of going to a match wears off then expect crowds of 3-4k!

Whilst this is so pleasing, i will wait till it happens, we have been told no more lockdowns we had one, restrictions will end in June they didnt, so whilst good news i will wait to see what happens.

Seeing some of the stadiums on there is just depressing, it's like a collection of garden sheds

I reckon 4.5k to 5k, & bearing in mind away fans will be down in numbers as well.

Will be around that sorter figure. Might get few more fans due to not being able to go football for while.

You haven't mentioned the result though.

And neither will I, not something you can factor into routine.

Crickey how could I have missed that one, Paul Clark's dulcet tones filling the car.

Lack of home fans probably cost us a few points that would’ve seen us comfortably in the play offs whilst everyone else was allowed home support.
