Someone said this to me too but it was via the daily heil and singing and alcohol sales may be constraints. I just don’t think they’ve thought it through, no drink in the ground means more drink in the smaller pubs, not sure the difference between singing and shouting or how they police it. I have a feeling for those who do attend they will feel a lot more self conscious with a smaller presumably widely spread crowd?
I see the point for small teams who might get close to their original capacity and people are more likely to be local, in terms of prem the money raised will barely cover one players weekly salary and and little to the atmosphere so I don’t get it either. I still think the local pubs will be swamped by friends of those who have a ticket too, for many people (myself included) the game is part of a wider social routine that isn’t the same without the pre and pair match meet ups.
I wouldn't be surprised if they starting closing pubs around stadiums if that became a problem
