Looking Ominous

If Soccer clubs are becoming increasingly concerned about no
fans for 6-12 months, then it looks like a long time before we
get back to watching rugby. Will Rugby carry on playing or will
they have to take a lengthy sabbatical as TV money won't be
enough for clubs to survive.

I refer the Honourable Gentleman to my earlier suggestion of
some sort of Subscription Streaming service.

I think we will be back by October even without the mystical
vaccine.

Being serious, I read something along the lines of staggered
returns for attendances. which would make sense. slightly
easier for rugby as the attendances are smaller than in
football. Its why lower league football was mentioned as having
fans before Prem Games

Let ask a simple question: Are people going to ‘want’ to go to
any mass gatherings until there is a proven vaccine?
Personally, I doubt it as as people have been conditioned, over
the past few months, to avoid and basically fear social contact,
and probably quite rightly as the ONS have realised a figure of
55k deaths over and above normal levels since March.....
The reports on a potential vaccine seem encouraging with some
reports suggesting there could be something ready in September
2020, but I wouldn’t want to be one of the first people taking
it as if it was that easy to get a viable vaccine this quickly
why have others taken years to get right and approved as safe??
I really hope I am wrong but I think that we will be lucky to
get back to the stoop before September 2021.

I am a little surprised that the club isn't coming up with
options for membership renewals for next season.
Next season is likely to be impacted in some way - maybe small -
maybe big. Impossible to tell.
My wife has a long term health condition and we will therefore
need to be cautious.
So, renewing all of our memberships for the whole year is
something that I have to consider carefully as, even if there is
minor impact, there may be a scenario where we can't attend the
games anyway and the money is wasted.
If I buy season tickets and there is a major impact to next
season, then the club will need to refund. This doesn't help
anyone - me or the club.
On the other hand, I want to reserve my seat. Maybe it will be
safe to attend the second half of the season and I will want a
mini season ticket.
Basically, I want to remain a member and support Quins, but I
may need to take a year off coming to the Stoop.
So, I would have thought the the club would do additional sorts
of membership options to give some flexibility.
e.g.
Pay £80 - get discount for seats; discount on shirt; gift for
mighty quins member; etc;
Pay £100 - get all of the above plus; entrance to a-games;six
nations ballot; etc;
Pay £120 - get all of the above, but reserve your seat

I was fortunate enough to have been elected as a member
(proposed and seconded by current members) during the 1989 AGM.
My status as a non player, and living further than 40 miles from
the club was as a 'Country Member' this gave me full membership
privileges, like a player. After 1995 my privileges changed,
naturally, as I didn't take up a season ticket. I still paid my
annual subs and got ticket discount's, entry to ballot etc,
enough to remain a member and feel include. 6 years ago the club
had a shake up and 'Country Membership' was discontinued, this
kindly coincided with me retiring so I was pleased to take up a
season ticket. Therefore maybe, as has been suggested, a
reversion to 'old' style membership options are the way to go in
the future. One word of warning though, all correspondence to me
from the club refers to my " 6 years of membership" only
recognising my season ticket totally ignoring the 30 years I
have paid an annual subscription.

I've said this before but if we're not back until September 2021
we probably won't have much of a game of rugby to support.
