Switch cup game to Preston?

[EastbourneBlue]

Should we offer to move the cup game to Deepdale?

Think gate receipts are split in the cup so could earn a few quid.

Think it’s been done before

it's not a great look trying to circumvent covid rules to make a few quid though.
what if someone catches covid at the game and dies, would the club be liable?

Would make sense, looks like we will be fielding a 2nd or 3rd team anyway.

Good idea. Why should Preston fans be penalised due to that cretin drakford

Why? Its perfectly legal in England to have as many people as you want in as crowded a place as you want. How on earth would the club be liable?!

Let's keep to just debating the practicalities for/against the move.

I'm personally against it, EastbourneBlue. Like RJK said, imagine the problems it could cause the club if someone becomes seriously ill and it's linked back to the fact that the fixture was moved - even if their illness had nothing to do with the move, fingers would be pointed nonetheless.

Can’t see it’s any different from the club selling tickets to any away game really.

People choose to go, or they don’t

Boris is likely to follow Wales and Scotland in a "behind closed doors" edict for sports before then, so it becomes irrelevant.

Might be wrong but can’t see it happening in England. Think Boris is under too much pressure from his cronies

Stupid idea.

Stupid idea.

Plus you can only change for safety reasons and not for financial benefit.
Otherwise most teams who drew the likes of Man Utd or Liverpool at home would change to play away for a far better payday.
