I guess this means we are now allowed 2000 fans back to matches the first being v Wrexham.
My guess is games will have to be all ticket for non season ticket holders and certain ground restrictions will apply.
Hopefully the streaming service will still be in operation as many older supporters will still not be wanting to risk any exposure to what is still a potentially life threatening virus.
It's a start - just as long as people are sensible in side and outside of the ground and adhere to guidelines.

The maximum is 2000, we await to see how many that translates at Plainmoor to be COVID secure.
We have got 2 different pulls, top of the league and the team going great guns versus the risk of picking up this virus and for those more vulnerable , why risk it with a vaccine around the corner? I suspect the risk at a reduced attendance ground is low, possibly on a par with a busy shopping trip but something to think quite carefully about as there have been only a few trial games to gauge how this works. Personally, have probably already crossed that rubicon with a member of my household having tested positive a month ago.
I would hope that streaming continues beyond this season, it cannot come close to the live match-day experience but being able to watch every game has been one of the positives to come out of this year.

link - with more areas falling into tier 3, our club remind exiles they cannot travel from those areas to watch the team at Plainmoor. There is possibly a short term advantage for us, both financially and support on the day in that we can host fans but the majority of clubs in the league cannot.
