I would love to see the financial projections for phased return of crowds vs no crowds at OUFC. I would anticipate that for the vast majority of the season the club anticipated that the crowd would be made up solely of season ticket holders in order to maintain social distancing. These tickets have already been paid for.
We get no revenue from refreshments, and they were not going to be opening for the foreseeable future anyway.
So I'm not sure where the loss of cash revenue comes from following last night's announcement. Yet on the other hand there will be no security staff etc to pay. Clearly hard times ahead, but I would be surprised if they are any projected as worse than they would have been 24 hours ago.
For a club like ours we rely on the strategic involvement, good will and deep pockets of the board. The impact of Covid-19 on these latter points may be what makes or breaks us.
