Rob Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Is this what the season is going to be like. Games cancelled or delayed because results not back in time. Inquiries and points deducted. Games cancelled because someone at the club has tested positive. Some clubs going weeks without playing and others playing extra midweek games. Games that were meant to be televised cancelled. Going to be interesting anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will not happen for saints Celtic Aberdeen and Ross county who have all acquired machines from Korea that allegedly give results in 20 minutes. Cannot believe that the so called most successful team on the world don't have a machine whilst their Glasgow counterparts have 2. Watch out for them getting out of an SFA charge by blaming the lab and saying they will now do them.themselvea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Turns out the St Mirren 7 positives were in fact 1. Plus numerous results delayed. Tbf, all eyes are now on the dodgy private sector lab..... I think they’ll get it sorted, better it is fecked up now than in a weeks time.

Do not know how many but believe that it would be season ticket holders based on when they bought their ticket eg first 250 who purchased if that was to be the limit. May not be in their actual seats if social distancing would be breached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat McGroin Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 You’d assume we’re looking at 20-25% capacity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abernethy Saint Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 I think they are testing the bits round the edges - entry, exit, toilets etc. With small numbers. It should be fairly easy then to scale up and arrive at a safe figure for each ground. For example, at Parkhead, if they trial one section successfully, then they can just scale up to multiple sections. The key will be compartmentalisation, which I think is a word. In effect, you don’t have a crowd of (say) 15,000 at Parkhead, you have 20 crowds of 750. This should work quite well at McD, less so at older, more open wee grounds.

Do they let kids in? do they count as part of the limit? Given they dont physically distance. Do they let those that were previously shielding in? So many questions that they need to answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old Common sense approach should suffice , Once the Country can move away again from being told what to do deciding what is best for you to do the better i say.

Of all clubs, allowing Celtic to be a 'test' game would be utter stupidity. 1k out of c50k season ticket holders would cause chaos, not to mention the higher probability that fans would gather outside the ground in either the hope of getting a ticket from one of the 1k and/or to support the team from outside the stadium. Not to mention the fact that one of their players blatantly breached the rules. Same goes for Aberdeen. On a wider point, as much as I'd love to actually go to a game, it would be foolish in the extreme to start letting increasing crowds into games at the moment. Could you really safely socially distance fans in and out of any top flight stadium in Scotland? The empty stadiums for the games are equally horrific, but in order to continue to get any games, realistically that needs to remain for the foreseeable. As an aside, I wonder what will come first, fans in the ground or an away kit? Edited August 26, 2020 by TheYellowBox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murrayfield to be allowed 700 this weekend though. Apparently Ross County have also applied to run a test crowd. On the Murrayfield basis that equals a crowd of 70. I'm sure RC could find 70 well behaved supporters in Dingwall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
