If pubs and restaurants can re-open on 4 July then why not all exec boxes, not just at Deepdale but throughout England?
It could be limited to just, say, 6 people per box to retain social distancing both within the box and their specific seats outside. The box holders who pay, I dunno, £1,500 per game on a Season Ticket invest a lot in the club (or any club for that matter with similar facilities to Deepdale's) and are losing a lot by not being able to 'enjoy'* the tickets they paid for up front a year ago.
(* 'enjoy' is not a word I'd opt for from today's PNE performance.)
It's probably not worth opening the kitchens up to feed them too, but a big plate of sarnies is very do-able. If this was allowed, a member of staff or two could be released from furlough to manage it, and at least 100 or so real fans could get on to the remaning home games and try and offer a little atmosphere.
If set up properly, it's a no-brainer to me. The again, the government has exemplified no brains to me in how to deal with this pandemic for the last 4 months.
 
Hardly fair though is it? What about the rest of the fans that would like to go? What makes the exec box fans ‘real fans’?
 
We are a good few years of the "masses" returning to grounds. Going corporate and only coming into contact with a handful of people is the only way it will be safe for people.

Grounds will be half full by midway point of next season, if not sooner. That's enough for most home games for us if you stop away fans travelling.
 
Can you imagine paying 1500 nuggets to watch whats being served up at the minute? My Lord, there'd better be cocaine and naked hookers built in to that price.

At doncaster I was reprimanded for peeping through the curtain at the players warming up on the pitch. Was told if I wanted to watch them I have to go outside. All a bit odd.
 
All the replies seem to have missed my original point.
Call the boxes a 'restaurant', That way, they can trade and some folks can watch footy.
On present form, there would be no-one.
