Ok for West Ham Women V Arsenal but its a league game and we wouldn't have been selected for this if the ground didn't pass heavy scrutiny, especially as I believe its the first competitive game in the country to allow fans to attend. A step in the right direction.

1000 people to start off with is quite promising to see. You’d imagine that figure is seen as a safe one below what would actually be our capacity during COVID if this is successful.

If we can get a capacity of 1500+ I really do hope that it could see our attendances increase whilst the big London teams are playing with reduced/no crowds.

Getting a season ticket is even more important than any other time to guarantee entry.

I had the exact same thought that with West Ham, Spurs, Arsenal all probably only allowed 15,000 of their 60,000 odd capacity (and that's the largest London stadiums) there might well be a lot of people missing out who pop down to their local club for some live football. I know previous attempts to use the premiership to get people to the club didn't work out too well but when its some of the only football allowing fans to attend it might well have an effect. All depends what happens with the streaming 3pm games rights I guess.

Does anyone know what limit has the club set not knowing the actual numbers allowed for season ticket numbers. If they get close to 1000 do they stop there?

I guess they will only know once a confirmed capacity is set by the government, I would guess about 25-30% of capacity will be the normal scenario given the capacity for friendlies.

Hornchurch Saturday might be tight.

The number will be around 1,200

Is that official, confirmed?

Cambridge are piloting a test event for a league two match with 2,500 allowed in and their capacity of 8,000 on the 12th September, would be surprised if we’re only allowed 1200 come October.

I ordered my season ticket on thursday afternoon, order number just under 600.

Could be double that already then as each order number can have more than one ticket, hopefully 800 odd at least.

With the cases rising again, do you think season will still start?

Will i get credit for my unused season tickets from last season?

Email the club and ask.

If you contract Thommo, he will sort it out... the majority of us are just going to leave it to help the club
