i see cas want to host a one of the test events for fans back in the ground before may 17th....surely all seater grounds would be more safer for test events , like seats on trains and buses etc, can be taped off and spread out

..... The North Stand holds 4000, so we'd initially be allowed 1000 spectators in there.

That's £30 per head just to break even.

I think that's £30,000 a season

That sounds cheap for the SMC.

Edit: Maybe I should have added

If it all goes to plan we should get a good crowd for our home Derby fixture then. https://www.skysports.com/rugby-league/ ... sky-sports

I wonder how that's going to work, answers on a postcard.....

Well the club has details of those members so will know if people are from the same household/s, maybe the club should take on trust that people sitting together is fine. The 'rule' of six, two households etc isn't law in any case and never has been, hence why the fines handed out by plod are deemed unenforceable, so from a legal standpoint people can sit with whomever they like.
There's massively bigger things to worry about than who sits with whom.

Just for reference, where do you sit in the KCOM?

Mostly East but sometimes South, depends if my brother and/or nephew come along as East has been a bit difficult at some games for 4 seats together, that's due to not being always predict what games I can get down for and tickets not being able to purchase ad hoc that far in advance anyway.

Right now it's rather moot, even if I'd had a full membership -which I've never bought, I wouldn't renew because that has the potential to complicate matters further regards allocation and those far closer/able to get to the majority of games. If I was offered a seat for myself and someone else, of course I'd jump at the chance but given the circumstances those already stumping for a full membership deserve to have first dibs as I said upthread.

According to the information released that I've read any outdoor stadium with a seated capacity of more than 16000 is classed as large

"Oliver Dowden, the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, confirmed that large venues can have 10,000 or a 25% capacity, whichever was lowest.
A large venue is defined as having a seated capacity of over 16,000 spectators, Dowden confirmed."

So in theory as the KCOM is 24000 capacity so Seb is correct in that we potentially can have up to 6000 attend games under the rules which is large stadiums up to 10000 or 25% of their capacity whichever is the smallest.

Over 40000 capacity can have 10000 otherwise it's it's 4000 or 50% if capacity is below 8000 I believe is what has been published so maximum for RL stadiums at the start of the lifting will be 4k at all grounds. Cannot see any away fans anywhere for some time and still a bit on income on clubs

The club have said and are hopefull of having between 5-6000 fans in the ground


At a guess the club maybe looking at
1000 each in the north and south stands
1500-2000 in the east and west (including upper stand)

Yes stadiums over 40K can have up to 10K but it defines stadiums with a seating capacity of over 16K (of which the KCOM does) as a large venue so comes under the 25% of capacity rule. So in theory 25% of the KCOM capacity is up to 6000 able to attend. There is only Hull FC, Huddersfield & Wigan I believe that have stadiums that can be classed as large venues with a seating capacity of over 16K.
