One metre apart between spectators or households I think is required. Cambridge had two spare seats either side and a spare row behind and in front to achieve this. As far as I understood, this was how Mansfield sold the season tickets. There may be other ways to achieve it. I read about a chess board effect at some clubs.

Chess board effect wouldn't work as wherever you sit there will be somebody breathing down your neck, if you mean alternate seats on each row.
The way we have sold our season tickets would give this effect in a block of seats :

OXXOXXOXXO
XXXXXXXXXX
OXXOXXOXXO
XXXXXXXXXX

the chess board would be :

OXOXOXOXOX
XOXOXOXOXO
OXOXOXOXOX
XOXOXOXOXO

With how close together the rows and seats are in most stands there is no way that would achieve even 1m distancing, never mind 2m.

just keep on repeating the pattern. Basically you don't have a supporter over either of your shoulders, because there are empty seats behind you and either side.

What do I do if I'm in the middle and want the Loo?
Think that's the reason for the rows being empty behind.

If you are unable to climb into the row above then you shouldn't attend at this time unless there's an end seat

Downside to that is its assuming only individuals are attending. Unless the club have sections for 2 people and 3 people etc etc attending.

Infections more than doubled in yesterday's figure to 50 from 18 the previoys day.

Tier three until Easter I fear, "Christmas free for all" will be devastating for the NHS, the Government were in a "no win" situation because joe public would have done it anyway.

I’m expecting London to go to Tier 3 so am going large to the pub for a substantial meal tonight after the Grimsby win.

Either way this year will all end in tiers.

Carlisle did it in the stands in the same way as Cambridge: two spare seats either side of each spectator or household, and a spare row behind and in front.

Looks to me as there will be no choice.

The Christmas free for all will start a third wave without doubt and BJ has ignored the scientists and common sense.

Furlough scheme extended by another month until the end of April. That speaks volumes to me and there is no way normal crowds will be allowed back before then.
