What sort of gates did they get in Bath?

It has a capacity of about 8k

I'm pretty sure that Wiki is way out on this occasion. The capacity is still short of that figure for football and considering there were only 2 or 3sides of the ground open for that first game, there was absolutely no way capacity was over 12k that day. We didn't even have any tents back then!

Was it the same guy counting the crowd that you used during the non league play off final  ?

The only way to finish the season fairly is to have one player from each club we're playing against to roll a dice and the highest number wins 3 points and the game.  This could be done live on TV.

Nearest the wall with a pound coin is my shout.

But if MT is out of contract 30.06 why would City want to carry on paying his wages. I know players get 1 month after contract expires, but why would we want to carry on paying wages for someone who isn’t our player anymore.  
 

If we have budgeted without these players why should we have to pay them and effect our FFP.

It is going to be a minefield when contracts expire and getting clubs to pay when they don’t have to.

All of a sudden, being out of contract is a shit place to be for a player.

Some people don't seem to grasp that the football authorities need to have a plan of what they're going to do.

Of course these plans might prove to be unrealistic if there's no improvement in the national situation, but they can't just sit tight and wait for restrictions to be lifted before they start even considering how to resolve the season. 

Of course they need to have a plan, but should they being put a date on it when they can't possibly know where we will be in 6 weeks.  News coming out of South Korea yesterday that people who have had covid19 are catching it again.

Well if players are not being tested then they cannot play football. Simple as that. Lee Johnson planning for 15th May return to training and mid June return to matches.  

I know,  but what is this date based on ?

If every player is tested and don’t have it then is the risk anything other than tiny? I would say no. 

If.

What issues do you foresee?

100million player with an above average chance of catching the virus . Insurers work on risk no ? If it's too high they'll refuse to cover said player. Just a thought.

Will be played behind closed doors and players will be tested

I would say any good business person in any industry would be looking at their business like this. Protect what you have first and foremost and then try to capitalise on opportunities as they present themselves. 

Football will start again before a vaccine is created. 

Of course it will, but the news coming out with dates attached when it will, are ridiculous. What if a 2nd wave hits ?

Hate to be pedantic but it's been stressed numerous times that this season will be finished and next season will start as and when ready 

One thing any 'summer' break will be much shorter 

It can be stressed as many times as they like, with no end date to the virus or a vaccine in sight it's just a soundbite.

From the Bristol Post:

"(Tom Gorringe) said: “

"In terms of the infrastructure we’ve three new bars, a new shop, electronic turnstiles, ten new partners, so all of those have been huge projects really given the amount of time we’ve had.

Spurs aside who have built a new stadium this summer, which has been delayed also, there’s probably not another club in the country who has seen the amount of change we have in the summer. The projects I listed earlier, you might see a club attempt one, maybe two of them, not all of them at the same time. All of them work, financially.

I think the plans are good but we should put the capacity to 20,000 because i am shor that on big games we have at home we could easly have that amount. because if you look at the johnstone paint final and the play off final we had 40,000 ish so if we choose to upgrad the capacity of the pains I think it would be a grate ider not just as a bristol rovers fan but as a bristol rugby fan!

 dan govier
i think the capacity should be 20,000 as of how many went to cardif and wembley. the nicer and bigger the stadium more fans will whant to come.And the club will get more money so we can bring in better players to the team.

josh
i think its a great idea cuz weve been playing in crap stadiums for ages. were a good club its time we have a good stadium

Even back then though, they still had that rare one that comes along now and again switched on...

 rovers till i die
we dont sell out enough 4 a new and bigger ground

Rovers till I die was banned shortly after posting this.

Poor from Liverpool tbh. Especially after what Jordan Henderson is doing.

Obviously won't be spending 50 -100 million on a player anytime soon, seeing as they need Government help to pay staff.  Hope the season gets cancelled now, they deserve **** all.
