Happy to pay to watch ifollow for the season.
The government are talking trade offs in relation to children returning to school. I cannot see pubs being locked down and then football clubs being allowed spectators in their stadiums?

Ridiculous.

I agree Dan. You can’t watch Tomlinson fall on his arse making a tackle on a football pitch but you can watch him make an arse of himself at the back of the Swan (according to Chander Lear)!
Local grass roots and non-league sides rely on through the gate money more so than us. Spectators at this level aren’t idiots and can be trusted to socially distance so why can’t we watch the games? Amateur clubs ought to be benefiting from the lack of professional football, so why can’t they?
Alternatively, the clubs could circumvent the law by holding an illegal rave, Marxist Lewis Hamilton protest, Bournemouth beach party or organising a trip to Barnard Castle and have a football match break out. But clubs are far too well behaved and would be punished if they did.

CUFC Match Permit
To attend a game during the 2020/21 season, a fan will need to purchase a CUFC Match Permit and this will only be available online.
Holders will not be issued with a physical permit but details of their permit will be displayed on their dashboard when they log in to their account on http://www.colutickets.com. Privilege Card funds can be used as full or part payment for a CUFC Match Permit.
When purchasing a CUFC Match Permit, the fan will be given an option of joining an existing bubble or creating a new bubble.
However, bubbles will be restricted to a maximum of eight people and fans should only join Bubbles if doing so meets the government guidance on social distancing.
Every CUFC Match Permit holder will be given a priority number which will relate to the order they are purchased in and may come in to effect if there is a situation where the number of fans that are allowed to attend is less than the number of Permits sold.
For example, we may initially be allowed 2,500 fans at games and sell 2,500 Permits. However, restriction may be introduced that only allows 1,500 attendees. In that case, only the Permit holders numbered 1 - 1,500 will be allowed to attend.
If the restrictions are more complicated and we have to reduce each block by 20% then for each individual block the 20% of fans with the highest permit holder number will be denied access.
To ensure the Permit Holders know if they can attend a game or not, the system will either send them a Print@Home match ticket 48 hours beforehand or a notice that they can’t attend the game and why not.
The notice will also provide details of how they can still watch the game on iFollow at no cost because whilst a permit holder is being denied access to attend a game, they will be provided with free access to watch Colchester United home and away games on iFollow.
It is likely that a low number of fans will be allowed to attend games initially with more being allowed as time goes by.
Therefore, the permits will be released in batches. Whenever we release a batch of permits, they will offer access to the rest of the season’s fixtures and will be priced using the 2019/20 Early Bird price for each section, multiplying by the number of games remaining and then applying the following discount:
If more than 16 games remaining, 7.5% discount.
If between 15 and 11 games remaining, 5% discount.
If between 10 and 6 games remaining, 2.5% discount.
If 5 or less games remaining, 0% discount.
For example, if an Adult fan purchases a CUFC Match Permit for S1 in the South Stand and there are 21 home games remaining then they will pay £301.09 ((21 x £15.50) * 92.5%.
Prioritising Permit Sales
If the capacity is restricted, especially at first when only a very small percentage are likely to be allowed to watch live games, then it is likely that demand will be greater than supply. Therefore we would apply a priority process for buying online.
Priority 1 - For last season’s Season Ticket/Annual Subscription holders.
Priority 2 - Anyone with Match Credits.
Priority 3 - Anyone with at least £50 loaded on a Privilege Card.
Priority 4 - General Sale.
As described above, each Permit would be given a sequential number and that will be used in the event that attendance to a game has to be provided to fewer fans than there are permit holders.
The sequential numbering will occur as the Permits are purchased so it could be possible that someone who buys on general sale has a higher priority, (a lower number), than a fan who was one of last season’s Season Ticket holders if the latter bought after Priority four sales went online.
It is of course possible that a bubble becomes reduced in size because some members of the bubble are denied access to a game due to their priority number being higher than the permitted number whilst others in the same bubble have a priority number that is lower than the permitted number.
Apologies if this all sounds complicated, but this is a complicated situation and hopefully we can write a more simple explanation in due course.

The number of deaths have miraculously gone down by over 5,000. However, the number of new cases are increasing, in line with France,Germany and Spain.
I applaud those who have bought season tickets and those who are hoping to buy them. It will be i Follow for me until I'm confident things are under control.
