How many have been sold ?
How that relates to possible government limits?
When a new tranche might be on offer?

Anybody any idea of what the situation is?

DWB wrote: 13 Aug 2020, 08:13 I did ring and enquire as to what is happening with next season with regards to actually being open/what restrictions will be in force etc and to be honest the answer was basically “We don’t know” which I suppose was understandable as let’s be honest nobody knows. So I guess it is for ourselves to make a judgement as to whether we buy a season ticket?

Will the Gulls nest be open ? will social distancing be in place ? 1m with masks mandatory ? 2m with no masks ? If the club are selling season tickets surely they have this information, until I, and I'm sure many others who want the same answers are receipt of this information , personally will not be renewing my season ticket, I'm not alone in this.

I've been a season ticket holder for along time now, and inline with other posters on here, and season tickets holders I know, I would have forgone my refund and asked the club to keep the money, but to have no one contact me over last season s ticket has irked me some what.

As for renewing next season, I am not going to rush into this, and that's for no other reason than what restrictions and conditions of entry, we're in the middle of a serious global covid-19 pandemic, which is effecting everyone, not just the UK, so it's not the fault of TUFC but if I have to stand there like a lemon 2 metres from the next fan, with a mask on, no use of the toilet, or Gulls nest before or after the game, and these are all potential restrictions that could be in place then there is no enjoyment factor so would not want to go.

Yes I could buy a season ticket as a way of supporting the club, am very happy to do so, but also mindful of the fact, attendances will be very limited, should I buy a season ticket with no intentions of going, then I'm likely to be denying someone who will happy to attend regardless a chance of going to the games, so while supporting the club financially , I would not be supporting the team, they'll will need as many faces in the crowd as possible.

Yes there is a risk of paying for matches that we can't attend but I've renewed on the basis that it will help keep the club going even if we can't see every game.

Or even if they know we will be allowed at all into the ground which then throws up the other issue of paying for something we won’t be getting!!

As for the NL, probably in the same boat as us -bearing in mind it looks - unfortunately - that Dover are going under.
