Very sad but option 3 for me, I've been going for 30 years but not being there to support, the who social part of it, seeing mates, build up to the game at the park in the red square etc. I'm just losing interest now, can't be bothered with watching it online, no atmosphere, none of the experience that I enjoyed. Saturday afternoons are now taken up with family stuff country walks etc and I just keep an eye on the score from my phone. Hopefully I will get back into it when all this passes but I think that many won't bother.
Those that won't bother will get replaced... natural lifecycle of lower league support, it's why our attendances are remarkably similar across the last 40+ years (3-5k). I know I won't be going as much over the next 10 years than I did the previous 10, such is life

I actually think there will be a significant attendance bump for 21/22 for all teams in the pyramid. You don't know what you have until its gone etc!

I agree and hope that 2021-22 is a bumper season for crowds in the lower leagues.

I wouldnt bet on it. I think overall the attendances will be as they were prior to Covid.

Really missing the live matchday experience. Saturday's are just not the same.

Have very little enthusiasm for watching games on TV with no crowds - at any level.
Same here, sadly. Like watching a training session with no crowd there, rapidly lost interest. 3) for me. Hopefully, only temporary.

Bit of a 3 for me.... watching on a screen on my own isn't the same - I miss the whole match day experience of a pint, the chat, the atmosphere

I sure the enthusiasm will return with the crowds
