I think it will be much reduced crowds or no crowds. Fans know if they buy a season ticket and there is a second spike then money is lost like for the 6 games last season, and also there are a lot of older fans more at risk fro COVID-19, and there is a higher risk to middle aged men then women.

I think we will wait to see what the situation is in a month's time, if there is an increase in the R rate due to pubs ect reopening at the weekend, and a spike in cases, then I can't see a full reopening in 2020. Looking at the pub restrictions you have large pubs in the area who say it isn't safe to open as they can't put measures in place to ensure safety, and some small pubs that would be more risky opening on Saturday with amateurish measures. So i will be avoiding them until at least August.

Clubs and a lot of fans have lost money during COVID-19, but a lot of people who have nothing to spend money on and their wage has stayed the same or increased, and will have plenty of disposable right now (even though medium term is uncertain). Club need to seek support of the better off fans by offering long term season tickets at discounted rates or debentures.
