Let’s hope this apply to us , I am guessing numbers will be based on ground capacity.

With the rapid increase in cases locally I fear we will be in tier 3.

We were in tier 1 but thanks for the doom and gloom . Nothing like looking on the positive side .

We're coming home, we're coming home, we're coming,
The crowd are coming home
If the limits on top clubs are not amended, there may be a large number of football fans looking for a fix and the possibility that we may sell out whatever allocation of tickets that we are able to make available. Teams that have played so few home games to date may have gained a slight advantage as they will have more matches with home crowd support.

Unfortunately parts of Kent have the worst figures for cases in the country and even Dartford and Gravesham are not much better.
It is going to be a very unfair league if some teams have supporters and others don't.

Indeed Infection rates locally have been going up of late, but hopefully not enough to put us in tier 3 and therefore no fans, all will be revealed on thursday. Perhaps the latest grant will be distributed in a piecemeal manner as and when to those clubs who are unable to let fans in need it. Maybe some clubs will attract more fans than usual so wlll not need any help. All or most Christmas and New Year games will likely be all ticket affairs.
Having re-read the details I notice tiers will be reviewed every 14 days, so an added complication for clubs to contend with. Good luck to all those running our clubs.

Just keeping my fingers crossed but according to BBC S.E. at lunchtime they have
Swale at no.1 and Thanet at no.4 highest in the country so I would expect a move into tier 3 unless they regionalise and don't move by county

No one will be watching Ebbsfleet very soon, they are the latest club with covid outbreak and their next few games are off. So that's The Fleet to the east, The Wings to the west, we are being surrounded.

Not sure about our Tier but if allowed both by Eastbourne and by Government law, let's all bomb it down to Eastbourne come what may. Be like a Mods Weekend parkie
