‘Up to 10,000 fans or 25% capacity, whichever figure is lower, will be allowed at larger outdoor venues, while at smaller outdoor venues, the limit will be capped at 4,000 or 50% capacity.’

I’m not sure whether Plainmoor counts as a smaller venue and I think each stadium has had to be assessed to come up with a figure.

I was just being flippant... my son will tell anyone that'll listen that I hate being late for anything (over 30 years in publishing with tight deadlines has drummed that into me)... knowing me (as I do), I'll be there at about 1:30 and just hang around the entrance looking like a poor lost soul

Hi United. Just be careful you don't leave it too late to turn up - the Club has indicated to ST holders that the gates will be shut sharp on 3pm and advised everyone to turn up well before KO to avoid disappointment.

Fortunately, still have family in the 'Bay so can pop around for a cuppa before making the way up to Plainmoor for 2:59pm

He said that if you get in trouble re travelling down to the ground to ring the club with as much notice as possible to explain the situation.
Hope that helps
