Can’t move to a new club, travel restrictions, lack of income It would seem so, as we all are?

He failed down south and had a rumble with the board after flopping a bit at Hibs. He'll be there until Celtic punt him for someone better. Even then, he'll go crawling back once he's offered it a 3rd time when said replacement jumps at the first chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main challenge is financial and supporting clubs with cashflow. Contracts have been mentioned. The one certainty is players and staff are still due to be paid. Only until June 1st if that is when their contract expires. Another issue re cashflow is how do you sell/market season tickets for next year. In our own case there is a big difference between selling a 19-game top flight, 6 Category A game ticket versus an 18 game lower league zero category A game ticket.

Two good well informed posts. Postponements will almost certainly extend to cancellations in all sports as there is little leeway in the calendars. How that will affect Hearts is up for discussion, hopefully Budge will be taking legal advice on that so we are prepared for whatever the SFA decide, whatever suits the ugly sisters obviously.

Totally agree... but can you speak for everyone at every club in every league? 6 or so games at £25 a time (generalising of course)... remember, a lot of people may well be on statutory sick pay soon and £100 may well be a lot to lose for some people. But I do agree with you, this is outwith clubs hands. I suppose it just adds to the uncertainty of it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Widespread" being the key. It is already widespread depending on your definition. Let's keep it in perspective though...there are approx 125k cases worldwide. The authorities need to stick to the facts and cut out the graphs and predictions in public. There is absolutely no value in foaming about 53million cases in an island nation when, after 3 months there are only 125k cases worldwide. Asia appears to be reaching it's peak and it's no coincidence, given some of their religious and cultural traditions, that Spain and Italy are the worst affected in Europe. Models can not simply be used in isolation (no pun intended). The govt and medics should be ensuring there are supplies of hand sanitiser in stock - Tesco have not had any in 2 weeks ffs- and looking at installing them at the entrances to cafes, bars, restaurants and on buses. Handwashing, sanitising and the good old human immune will kill this thing off.. it beggared belief that a Chief Scientist said he "reckoned' the true UK figure "could be" 5 or 10k - without any evidence- before imploring people not to panic. Who, exactly, benefits from hearing comments like that?? Again I refer to the predictions regarding SARS and Swine Flu tgat were so far off the mark as to be ridiculous. This is a virus, galloping foot rot it aint. When it comes to single issue scientists and economists I find it best to nod slong respectfully and treat all they say with a does of salt.

You are showing your lack of knowledge there Cruiks. 80% of the population will not get it. The positive testing would indicate that about 1% will get it. The reason 80% is alwsys trotted out is because that is tge absolute maximum any virus can infect before it burns itself out. When scientists don't know something they revert to type. Feel free to think 53million will be infected but don't expect others to follow suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kila Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 https://www.heartsfc.co.uk/news/article/club-update Further to the announcement today from the Joint Response Group of the SPFL & SFA that all domestic professional football games in Scotland have been suspended we have, understandably, had a number of questions from supporters and press. The club fully supports the decision to postpone all domestic football. We understand this scenario may cause inconvenience and uncertainty amongst the fans, however the health and wellbeing of supporters, players, staff and the general public must take priority. This is an unprecedented situation and we will be working closely with the SPFL, clubs and the Scottish FA to agree the next steps. In respect of ticket sales and those supporters holding season tickets, the club would ask for the fans’ patience until a decision is reached regarding the remainder of the 2019/20 season. We will keep supporters up-to-date via the official club channels as information becomes available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
