Any word on season tickets for the coming season? Many other clubs are selling theirs now.

Can only assume that the club will wait till there is a proposed start date for next season before making an announcement.

It may also be waiting to see how many games a "season" may comprise.
Other non league forums are speculating about possible half divisions eg Prem North and South, so if a second lockdown comes there is more time to complete the fixtures.
The other big unknown is the fate of the FA Cup, Trophy and Vase. All of this years cups are supposed to be completed but it looks unlikely that any clubs below Connie N and S will be in the FA Cup to come, purely due to a lack of time

A quick update, Scottish Championship teams have voted for an Oct 17th start with 27 games rather than 36

It looks like a case of 'fools rush in where angels fear to tread' then.
As Mark said, some clubs are taking ST monies now, presumably and not unreasonably because they are desperate for the cash flow.
But whereas most aspects of daily life are slowly coming back to the 'new normal', crowds at sporting/entertainment events will be one of the last to return.
Fans giving money in good faith for a full season of football might find themselves short changed. If minded to they would be justified to ask for a refund, funds the clubs probably by then couldn't afford.
Until clarified what season 20/21 is going to look like it seems sensible, if they can, not to take ST money. At the very least it would need to be ring fenced, which kinda defeats the object of taking it if you can't spend it.
Tricky times for clubs still.

I think I was having a surge of optimism when I wrote that original post! Good points raised and food for thought - thank you all.
It really is a tricky time for clubs. I always see my season ticket purchase as a small display of my commitment. And, at a tactical level, it helps me negotiate release from less interesting domestic commitments and get along to Woodside! Let's hope we can all be back there soon.
