Lets hope it's cleared and we see some light! In terms of our own situation; if the EFL and government sanction this pilot does LR have a safety certificate to allow fans to enter the stadium!?

How can the club possibly choose just 1000 of us?

I assume you think we have submitted an application already then?

A tough task indeed! But anything under 11,000 is always going to be an issue. We may not submit an application as we only have a licence for closed doors games at present. The safety team are great - if they can find a way then they will - but it might be too short notice.

Does anyone know when the ticket office opens? I need three. One for me, one for a Huddersfield mate and one to sell outside to get my money back?
Lottery of ST holders would be the fairest, surely? Or TAPS, but in the kindest way to the club, I can't see them getting a working TAPs count up by the weekend seeing as how it's been done in the past. Unless they just reuse the ST holder list for new ground appointments.

GPG Admins and 3 invited guests first seems fair.

Not sure any club could arrange things for this weekend
Lots of discussions to be had with fans groups

Quote from the iFollow code email
“Our league game against Huddersfield Town on Saturday 19 September will not be televised. This game, and others for the time being, will be behind closed doors with no fans allowed.”

TAP's are for away games and as Premium customers don't go to aways they'll have first dibs for home games.

Suspect the club wont have time to organise a quick and fair way to distribute tickets by Saturday, as critical as I've been over the ST nonsense I couldnt blame them for being cautious and waiting until October.
Do it by blind ballot and you run the risk of a 4 year old getting one but their parents missing out, for example. Bubbles havent been set up unless the friends and family thing helps. Suspect taps may be used which seems about fairest at this short notice, despite it probably ruling me out

Here is a reaction I found from one club
Following updated advice from the government, a number of test events are being staged at grounds across England this weekend which will allow for up to 1,000 fans to attend matches.
This morning, clubs were notified that they had until 2pm to request to stage a pilot game this weekend. To be eligible they already had to have their plans for the return of fans passed by their local Safety Advisory Group.
Exeter City is still finalising its plans for a return of fans to the stadium. Additionally, the EFL stated that they could not guarantee at that all clubs that would like to stage a pilot would be given permission to do so, as only a limited number would be approved.
A spokesman for Exeter City FC said: "Along with other clubs, apart from those which are in local lockdown areas, we were invited to submit a plan for fans to return to the stadium this weekend. After consultation with our stadium safety adviser, the decision was taken to continue working to the original plan of the return of fans in October.

It’s all last minute panic isn’t it. Why not stick to the 1st October and give everyone more than 23 seconds to think about it.
