As most of you will have read elsewhere spectators are can view games from step3 downwards-
Obviously Covid 19 restrictions have to be adhered too;
Clearly anyone displaying symptoms will not be allowed in; (To be honest you should be self isolated and apply for a test)
Other requirements may include;-
Restrictions on numbers, The hub has a capacity of 2217, at the moment only 15% is allowed or 332. From 31st August it increases to 30% or 665.
You will have to give your name and a contact number.
You may have to give your neighbourhood, e.g. Walton/Hersham/Molesey etc.
Some clubs have a temperature check.
You'll have to sign to agree with the Covid 19 requirements.
Some of the seats may not be in use- (Taped-up)
Social distancing will be enforced.
You may have to be in a segregated area e.g. home supporters one end, away supporters the other end.
This is not an all inclusive list.

I think olde In The Know Stag does know a thing or two. On Walton's 2nd Web-Site the following announcement;- www.waltonandhershamfc.org.uk/2020/09/01/club-update/With the new season just a few days away from commencing, we would like to provide an update to fans with key information regarding the start of the season, particularly concerning matchdays.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions imposed by the stadium management, the bar and inside facilities of the Hub will be closed for the foreseeable future on a matchday. The Burger van inside of the ground will also remain closed indefinitely.
On matchdays, fans will be required to travel around a one way system once inside the ground, starting off by the turnstile closest to the stand, moving around the ground in a clockwise direction, exiting the ground by using the gate furthest from the stand. Ground capacity will be indefinitely limited to a maximum of 300 spectators per matchday.
To minimise the spread of Covid-19, the Club will be promoting cashless payment at the gate on matchdays. Cash will still be accepted however card payments, both with a chip and pin as well as contactless, will both be accepted this season on a matchday. Matchday programmes will remain online for the season, excluding occasional games where we will have a print edition for purchase at the gate. Season tickets are now available to purchase; if you are interested in buying one please email ticketing@waltonhershamfc.com, alternatively bring appropriate payment to the turnstile on any of our September home matchdays to purchase one there.
Whilst we are fully aware that the matchday experience may be limited with the lack of food and drink on offer each game, we still urge fans to come out and support the Swans this season in large numbers – the Club is very much in need of a large backing from the fans following a difficult few months since the termination of the 19/20 season in March, as well as an entire change in the playing squad and team management.
As Walton 2nds don't play on Desperate Island, but do use The Hub, I assume similar conditions will apply to Casuals. Interestingly, I believe currently the spectator numbers are limited to 30% of capacity, which for the Hub is over 600, but Step 5 and below the capacity is limited to 300, however Step 3 the limit is 600. There's an anomaly!
Rumour has it Waltons 2nd team have also signed Jamie Byatt

Casuals were getting attendances of under 100 towards the end of last season before the cut off (regardless of the actual numbers that were being published by the club), so the capacity is completely irrelevant.
I'd expect W&H to get bigger crowds this coming season.

I think 'sham will be getting more than the two put together. What with all these Groundhoppers and Freeloads. |

This is not an all inclusive list. Actually your numbers are incorrect. The percentage of gates allowed is taken over the average size of all grounds at step 3 not you own grounds capacity however large, at Step 3 maximum allowed is 600 despite the size of your ground. This unfairly applies to clubs like Chesham who have a 5500 capacity and Farnborough who can hold nearer 8000 |
