I think the bigger issue may well be how to get there. Trains and buses are usually crammed. Everybody go by car? Parking will be very interesting!
I got vision, and the rest of the world wears bifocals. |

I'd definitely go back but as somebody has already stated the Arthur Waite toilets could mean that the Arthur will be left empty Just like in the championship.

I probably would. However, I had Coronovirus back in March and since the restart every now and then whilst watching Palace I feel I'm getting the symptoms again!

I'd have no hesitation in going. All these blm marches and beach visits had zero impact on the numbers. That’s a brilliant point actually. And you can throw into that the first night the pubs opened and thousands of people up and down the country were out celebrating with no regard for social distancing whatsoever.

Its not the stadium that's my problem its the travel, coming up from the south coast Gatwick has always been a nightmare of overcrowding and don't think it will be any better in October, so its a NO from me.

It's going to be difficult for international fans. That will probably have more of an impact on crowds at Anfield and Old Trafford, than it will at Selhurst.

Well, seeing as we dont play at Gatwick, cant see what your problem is Kinda get your point tho, i think a hell of a lot of people have fallen out of 'love' with football & are conserving finances/time for other things(not shopping with wife/partner tho, grr)
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

I tend to agree on that. Even after our last home game before lockdown (Watford) I walked back from the ground to East Croydon station - it was just at the time when things were beginning to get a bit worrying and I didn't fancy being shoulder to shoulder, face to face on the journey from Norwood Junction. The infection rate will have to be pretty low for me to travel on crowded public transport again.

I cannot recall the last time I travelled on public transport and yes, I am the recipient of a free bus pass! Even though I am of a 'Ripe' age, 68 in November, I would be perfectly comfortable travelling on a bus or train with a mask.
