Unless the date changes we will be having fans back for the game vs Hull KR on the 23rd May.
My understanding is that the maximum attendance will be 25% of capacity up to 10,000. In our case it will be 25%. I am not sure what our capacity is these days, but let’s assume it is 7,000. This means that 1,750 will be allowed in for games from the 17th May.
I have not seen anything from the club about this game and how the 1,750 will be decided. Is our season ticket numbers more than this? When will the club be letting us know what is planned?
I’m not sure if by capacity, it refers to “Seating capacity” and not ground capacity. If it’s seating capacity, then we can only allow about 500 fans into ground. As with everything the government says, nothing is very clear.
MC, mentioned in a Q&A night, his interpretation was ground capacity, and season ticket holders had first choice. He also said that a large majority of ST holders are of an older generation, and didn’t think some of them would risk joining crowds due to Covid transmission risk. Well, media reports, 95% of Wakefield older generation have at least the first jab, and I’ve recently had my second jab, therefore it’s likely that most people will attend local games. I can’t wait for the first game at home, it’s highly unlikely we’ll get chances to attend away games.
