Rovers v Sunderland 27 dec. plan B measures?

[normal rules]

And so, plan b is now imposed. Like it or lump it.
I pose this as a question, not a statement.
This fixture could possibly attract a crowd of over 10 k.
I say this because Sunderland could sell full allocation plus part of east stand, so around 4K. They are very well supported away from home as we know. It’s quite plausible there could be 6k home supporters.
So this fixture could easily tip into the 10k plus figure that would invoke the plan b covid measures.
The tricky thing for clubs like rovers is the measures are influenced by attendees, not capacities. So the club will have to make a firm decision sooner rather than later about how this game will be managed.
To be clear, if rovers determine there is to be a crowd of over 10k for this game, then you won’t get in without an nhs covid pass. Just like the Ipswich game .

Just give them 3000 behind the goal. Unlikely we'll take up more than 7k in the home end especially with it on TV and current state of us.

[rover-n-out]

Got my Covid pass!!

Got my Covid pass!!

I haven't but i'm still getting in!

Never mind the game. If measures for this game are in place, there are probably a few of us on here who would gladly pay money to a suitable charity to watch the drama unfold when you try to get in with no pass, claiming “protected” status.

Cdh- how old are you?

Got my Covid pass!!

What does it look like as they didn’t think they  don’t come out until Monday ?

[roversdude]

Had mine for ages on iPhone

[roversdude]

Out of interest what is the capacity of Sincil Bank, not sure how many tickets we’ve sold

[normal rules]

10300 ish. But with seg  it will remain under 10k.
Which is a joke really as it will be heaving.

[normal rules]

Rovers have to limit the ticket sales for the Sunderland game to under 10k just to be safe. It’s the only responsible thing to do.
Strictly all ticket, with no sales on the day.
This will save the total chaos of more than 10k turning up and having to refuse entry or worse, accept the possible sanctions imposed by having a big crowd without having taken steps. Slim chance I know, but it would be foolhardy to assume .
Or be very economical with the truth about the attendance.

[Padge_DRFC]

Extremely simple this. The only thing to owrry about is loss of money and dilemna of not getting 9900 in. Ie under selling the away end just for 5k home fans to turn up.

[roversdude]

Covid passport for mackems

[normal rules]

Rovers could actually turn this into a positive. A bit of hype around limited tickets 9900 only.

NHS app on your phone basically has a record of your jabs, so if you are up to date, you are sorted..

[normal rules]

Which has been around for months

[steve@dcfd]

Sorry we will get no where near 10000 supporters 7000 at most actually in the ground.(not counting season ticket holders who don’t attend)

[Padge_DRFC]

Sorry we will get no where near 10000 supporters 7000 at most actually in the ground.(not counting season ticket holders who don’t attend)

Not in the home end no. We will get 10k total if we give them 4000 tickets for sure.

Had one for a while now. Call 119 and they will post you one out. Mine was with me within a few days.

[ColinDouglasHandshake]

Just read that Lincoln are reducing the capacity to 9,999 to avoid the vaccine passport chaos. They have a shortage of stewards too so taking a sensible approach there.

[roversdude]

Thanks CDH got our tickets a while ago

[normal rules]

This.
The club should take a stance early on for this.saves any confusion.and avoids a potential costly headache.

I don't think so, Padge. It's on Sky Sports with an early KO. I reckon it will be less than 9000; unless we pump Shrewsbury and Lincoln, which is doubtful.

Fair point Steve. I forgot the game was on Sky. That will reduce the attendance somewhat anyway, like you say.

[Padge_DRFC]

Don't forget it's the Xmas fixture which usually gets more in. Yet again done over by Sky

[rtid88]

Cdh- how old are you?

About 12 I think, at least that's the way he acts anyway.

[ColinDouglasHandshake]

Yes. I'm 12. Birthday in a few days so nearly a teenager and will reach maturity then.

Masks are now mandatory in indoor areas of stadiums, I assume that would mean on the concourses, which may prove a problem tomorrow

I doubt very much that many people will wear them in there.
