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.
